Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce 3d” for “model viewer”. “woocommerce 3d” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “model viewer” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 50 of 1.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,140 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 13 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce 3d” for “model viewer”. “woocommerce 3d” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “model viewer” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “3d model viewer”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-24, now #22. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “glb”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Directory rank
Ranked about #20,100 to #21,200, alongside the other plugins at 50+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
