Biggest opportunity: “cities”, “locations” and “provinces” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →6.2%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 81.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,186 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.20.

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 |

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.

Once the plugin is activated… what? Should I do something? Add a code? Anything? Nothing happens, so I asumed it doesn’t work anymore.

Lo he usado siempre y funciona perfectamente a pesar de la incompatibilidad declarada. Es extraño que este eficaz complemento haya sido abandonado; sería conveniente una revisión por parte de sus creadores para actualizar su compatibilidad.
