Biggest opportunity: Swap “popup cart” and “woocommerce side cart” for “clear cart” and “empty cart”. “popup cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “clear cart” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce side cart” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “empty cart” sits at #17 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 →6.1%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 661 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,160 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.

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 “popup cart” and “woocommerce side cart” for “clear cart” and “empty cart”. “popup cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “clear cart” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce side cart” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “empty cart” sits at #17 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 “woocommerce side cart”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Directory rank
Ranked about #21,400 to #22,800, alongside the other plugins at 40+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “40+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 40.
