Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce product page” for “products”. “woocommerce product page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “products” sits at #18 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 3K of 61.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,181 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 1 release 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.

happy with the plugin. It does what its supposed to.

Does what is says.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ PaineFreeCrafts2.7y ago
works as well and simple as expected. the generic recommended products wasn’t appropriate for my site, the one where you have to enter recommendations manually was taking up too much time now I’ve got thousands of products, so this worked perfectly 🙂
