Biggest opportunity: Swap “address” for “portuguese”. “address” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “portuguese” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
Install conversion
How it's measured →6.3%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 79K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 16,014 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 4 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.

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.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

It does his job and that is important.

The plugin has been very well developed. It fulfills everything you need to make shipments in portugal, as well as or eliminate shipping zones. The support has been very fast and efficient.

Si tu tienda incluye envíos a Portugal este es el plugin que necesitas. Tendrás en las direcciones de cliente la opción de poder elegir el distrito (lo equivalente a las provincias de España), algo que WooCommerce no incluye por defecto.
