Biggest opportunity: “hide”, “hide shipping” and “remove” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 50 of 2.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| hide your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| hide shipping your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| remove your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| remove shipping your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shipping your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Needed to hide a certain shipping method on our site. Tried so many other options and plug-ins. I posted on the WordPress forums, consulted with Woo Pros, watched coding videos. This plug-in made the job so simple. Thank You!

Please Write this plugin for multiple options if we can use comma, for Hide like PHL,Topex,Panther, Please Try to Understand :))

It works, but you only can hide 1 shipping option. It would be great if you can hide more shipping options. My store ships to 3 different countries, but I only can hide one shipping option. And it would be great when I can hide different shipping options per country. It means that I have to hide up to 5 or 6 shippings methods at a time. Hope this will be implemented in future updates of the plugin.
