Biggest opportunity: Add “parcel rates”, “advanced shipping rates” and “advanced shipping” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #6 and #11 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 85.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,774 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.
This plugin shipped 7 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
- Add “parcel rates”, “advanced shipping rates” and “advanced shipping” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #6 and #11 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “flexible shipping”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I don’t often post reviews, but this plug in deserves it. It is extremely complete, very easy to use, when you are not used to shipping rules, etc.I just had a question and the support responded incredibly quickly. And in a very friendly way.

A great solution to create different shipping methods depending on product characteristics such as size and weight, in combination with the number of pieces etc.. In addition, lightning fast and very helpful support.

I’ve been using this plugin for a few years now and it’s worked perfectly. I had what I thought was a problem with it and support replied quickly. It turned out to be an issue with an entirely different plugin, but support gave me a place to start looking anyway which was above and beyond what they needed to do.
