Biggest opportunity: “e commerce”, “ecommerce” and “shop” 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 10 of 1.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.27, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| hdcommerce your tag | #1 | #1 | — |
| e commerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ecommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shop your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| store your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Harmonic Design8.5y ago
I’m the developer of this great plugin and so you can consider this a very biased five-star review. With that said, however, HDCommerce is a very powerful and easy to use plugin. I tried to make it as simple and streamlined to use as possible. I am also the developer of HD Quiz, a popular quiz maker for WordPress. As you can see from the HD Quiz page, I take great pride in offering support and have a 5 star rating.I look forward to giving the same level of support here!
