Biggest opportunity: “cart” and “woo commerce” 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.

Install conversion
How it's measured →5.4%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 7.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,177 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 2 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| clear cart your tag | #1 | #2 | 0 |
| racar | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| clear | #10 | #19 | down 5 |
| empty cart your tag | #19 | #19 | down 2 |
| automatic cart empty | #12 | #19 | 0 |
| cart your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woo commerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
13 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 8 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “cart” and “woo commerce” 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.
- Already on top for “racar”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

The cart button is seamlessly added to the cart container, styling is quick and easy.

Finally an Empty Cart button that works as it should! Even with Ajax shop.I treat the developer to a cup of coffee and tip at the same time that a function where you can set a redirect to another page could be nice as well.

It works great, the possibility to customize the button is enough. We can change the expressions on the noses by translating them into our own language. It works perfectly compared to other plugins that we’ve run into with weird problems. Thanks.

I can’t believe Woocommerce can’t have a default Clear Cart. Large online shopping sites all have one. This solved my problem, as no way in hell should any shopper have to wait 48 hours for a cart to clear if they clicked on the wrong item or changed their mind and went with another product. This plugin works perfectly and within minutes – download, install, change button appearance – done. Thank you.
