Biggest opportunity: Swap “generator” and “inventory” for “auto sku” and “sku generator”. “generator” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “auto sku” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “inventory” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sku generator” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →6.7%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 1.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,178 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 1 release 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.

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

Works Perfectly.

Clean, well-structured code with thoughtful use of WooCommerce hooks. Integrated it into a custom theme with zero conflicts. Saved me hours generating unique SKUs for client products. Lightweight and does exactly what it promises.
