Biggest opportunity: “images”, “jquery” and “lazy load” 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 70 of 8.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,139 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 4.6.30, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| images your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| jquery your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| lazy load your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Works well with latest Woocommerce 3.01. I downloaded and activated this plugin, and I use it with Woocommerce 3.01, and work very good. They did a good job. So I give them 5 stars.

To much bugs.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ yesyeswordpress10.1y ago
I thought it did exactly what it was supposed to do but then I loaded some catalog pages like the main shop page and items that are visible (above the fold) are not loaded and show a huge placeholder (bigger than the actual thumbnail) till you scroll past the items. Strange thing is that it doesn’t happen with the first item on the same row. So for example, my shop has 3 columns and multiple rows. row 1: images get loaded correctly (though the placeholder I probably need to choose with the same exact size as my thumbnails are shown on the front end since it’s still a bit ugly to first see a big placeholder, before you get the much smaller loaded thumbmail) row2, item 1: correct (like row 1) row2, item 2 and all other following items: not loaded, despite all being above the fold and clearly visible and at the same exact height as item 1 Please have a look at this as I expect it’s a bug that can be easily solved. Otherwise, nice plugin.
