Biggest opportunity: “conditional shipping”, “table rate shipping” and “weight based shipping” 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.

1.1%

of downloads still active

At least 30 of 2.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.

Removal-risk signals

45/100

Maintenance 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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

Search visibility

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
conditional shipping your tag	Not in the top 24
table rate shipping your tag	Not in the top 24
weight based shipping your tag	Not in the top 24
woocommerce your tag	Not in the top 24
woocommerce shipping your tag	Not in the top 24

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

“conditional shipping”, “table rate shipping” and “weight based shipping” 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.

Estimated active installs

The public count shows “30+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

tracked estimate

30–40 ≈38

Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 40.

Being a newly launched tool, I was a little jittery about using this on my site. However, I found the UI to be intuitive and easy to use and hence went ahead. So far, it is working well for us in handling woocommerce weight based shipping fees. Thank you!
