Biggest opportunity: Swap “embedded checkout” for “hosted checkout”. “embedded checkout” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hosted checkout” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

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.

Ranked about #50,200 to #69,500, alongside the other plugins with fewer than 10 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.
