Biggest opportunity: Add “detection”, “identification” and “address validation” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #17 and #19 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

2.4%

of downloads still active

At least 300 of 12.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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 3 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.

The public count shows “300+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

tracked estimate
300–400 ≈310

Crossed into this band 47 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 300.

At the current install trend, crossing 400+ in roughly 159 days.

    I reached out to the plugin Support and after a lot of back and forth I was told that this plugin is acting as intended. The lowest paid option for this plugin is $5 per 100 Address Verifications which seems like a deal overall. Once you get to the checkout page you will be disappointed to find out that every time you update a part of the shipping address, as you update the whole thing, it triggers with each field left. 1. Change the street address – Plugin detects address 2. Change City – Plugin detects address 3. Change State – Plugin detects address 4. Change Zip Code – Plugin detects address So for every address change for purposes of getting a freight quote you are actually verifying an address 4 times, not counting the one verification that may be triggered on your cart page even without a street address. Do better, Devs. This is not the correct way for your plugin to work. Here is the response I received below.: Hi Anthony, The Developer's response is pasted below, there is no issue, the behavior is as expected from woo commerce and we do not need to make any changes to the theme. Please see if this works for you, if not, I will be glad to process full refunds on your subscriptions, if the App is unable to serve your purpose ****************************************************************** Request sending behavior showing in the customer video is working fine. Maybe, the customer is new to WordPress. When a customer is changing any field on the checkout page, always request will send. It’s woocommerce default behavior. Woocommerce has validation on the checkout page for Receiver Address, City, State, and Country. These should be filled. When any field will be changed, a new request will be sent. You can see clearly in the video that the customer is changing the address every time. So WooCommerce and plugins have triggered the requests. ***********************************************
