Biggest opportunity: One page off on “courier”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

How it's measured →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 11.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,162 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 5 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| fastcourier your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| courier your tag | #13 | #24 | 0 |
| freight your tag | #15 | #22 | up 1 |
| freight shipping | #13 | #21 | up 1 |
| australian woocommerce shipping | #16 | #24 | 0 |
| shipping your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
10 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “courier”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “freight”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “shipping” and “woocommerce” 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.

In this day and age where keeping your website secure and up to date, its strange that this plugin wont work with the current version of woocommerce. Its way behind.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Fast Courier2.3y ago
I recently started using this shipping rate comparison plugin for my site, and it has been a game-changer for my business! The plugin is incredibly user-friendly and provides accurate shipping rates from various carriers across Australia. The setup was straightforward, and the seamless integration with my existing WooCommerce store made it even better. My customers love the ability to choose the most cost-effective shipping option at checkout, which has boosted my sales and customer satisfaction. The support team is also top-notch – responsive and helpful with any questions I had during the setup process. I highly recommend this plugin to any Australian e-commerce store owner looking to provide transparent and competitive shipping rates to their customers. Great job to the developers for creating such a valuable tool!
