Install conversion

How it's measured →

0.2%

of downloads still active

At least 30 of 15.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 4,835 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.

Search visibility

How it's tracked →

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

Keyword wp.org On merit Change
compat #4 #14 0
smart cod #5 #11 0

What to do about it

  • Add “compat” to your wp.org tags. You already rank #4 for it without listing it. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so it's a slot worth spending.

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.
