Single Product in Cart
by Piyush Jangid · eCommerce
Allows only one product in the WooCommerce cart at a time. When a new product is added, it replaces the existing product without any warning.

Biggest opportunity: Swap “cart” for “single”. “cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “single” sits at #11 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 100 of 1.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,173 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| single product your tag | #5 | #22 | 0 |
| single | #11 | #24 | down 1 |
| cart your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| checkout your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ecommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.
