Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce shipping” and “custom shipping” for “city” and “custom shipping rates”. “woocommerce shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “city” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom shipping” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “custom shipping rates” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 600 of 9.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,141 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 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.

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 “woocommerce shipping” and “custom shipping” for “city” and “custom shipping rates”. “woocommerce shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “city” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom shipping” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “custom shipping rates” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ destiny4g1.8y ago
I’m particularly blown away by this plugin as I’ve used other similar plugins… But this has been a game-changer for me, greatly reducing the stress of manually inputting state and city fields. The feature to BULK upload is incredibly convenient, allowing me to easily add hundreds of cities and their prices. I highly recommend this plugin to anyone looking for an extremely easy way to handle city based Shipping. It’s a must-have for any WooCommerce store owner! Plus, their support is super incredible! They reply very Fast! Special thanks to the developers.
