Biggest opportunity: Swap “fraud” and “woocommerce” for “verification” and “order verification”. “fraud” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “verification” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “order verification” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 41.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,161 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 23 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “fraud” and “woocommerce” for “verification” and “order verification”. “fraud” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “verification” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “order verification” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

I’ve never seen such fast, efficient support. What’s more, there’s a ticket tracking system, as this was necessary for me. If I could have rated it 6 stars, I would have, but there are only 5… Thank you so much!

I have been using this plugin for over a year and not only is the team amazing at troubleshooting and very responsive, but the plugin itself is top notch and uses AI to power its verification. It has helped us a ton with having a smooth transition for customers to easily check out. This is the best team I have worked with and am happy I chose this plugin vs the other guys.

The plugin is the best and most comprehensive solution for ID checking. I use it in Germany and it works perfectly, to the satisfaction of my customers. I initially used another solution for months and when problems with updates and compatibility arose, I switched to Real ID Check and am glad I did. The support is super fast, professional, and efficient. Also very kind & friendly 🙂All my issues were resolved and investigated, and updates for those issues were also prompt.Thank you, you saved my project!

Real ID is a great plugin for verifying customers age, but also the customer support they provide is excellent. They have been very responsive and resolved our issues in a very timely manner. Highly recommend!
