Biggest opportunity: Swap “whatsapp” and “whatsapp chat” for “actions” and “whatsapp notifications”. “whatsapp” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “actions” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “whatsapp chat” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “whatsapp notifications” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 900 of 40K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 630 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support 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 11 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
- Swap “whatsapp” and “whatsapp chat” for “actions” and “whatsapp notifications”. “whatsapp” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “actions” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “whatsapp chat” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “whatsapp notifications” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “whatsapp api”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles8 of the last 12 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

Great plugin for integrating WhatsApp with WordPress! It works smoothly with WooCommerce and form plugins to send instant notifications for order updates, abandoned cart recovery, and form submissions. The WhatsApp chat button and built-in chatbot are a nice bonus for improving customer support. Setup is easy with a WANotifier account. Highly recommended for businesses looking to automate and enhance user communication
