Biggest opportunity: “shipping” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 50 of 5.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,168 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 7.1.

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.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| shipping your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tiered rate your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it

Directory rank
Ranked about #20,100 to #21,300, alongside the other plugins at 50+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
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.

This plugin works very good for me for the past years!!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ trouille28.8y ago
I installed this plugin to test it but didn’t use it at the end (it seems to work well). I deactivated the plugin to keep it aside. Today I had a sell from the website and even if this plugin was deactivated, I discover today the settings are still visible in the woocommerce>shipping setting zone. And worse, the plugin shipping method was visible on the front end checkout page. A client select it to order a product…annoying.

I have searched high and low for a solution to my problem and this plugin seems like it does exactly what I want (well, nearly) The situation is I need 2 postage options, 1st class and next day delivery so it needs to work like this (using dummy shipping costs and quantities): 1st Class 1-5 items – £5.00 6-10 items – £10.00 11.15 items – £15.00 16-20 items – £20.00 Next day delivery 1-5 items – £15.00 6-10 items – £20.00 11.15 items – £25.00 16-20 items – £30.00 The above is for UK only, but the same 2 groups of rules need applying to EU and ROW too. Your plugin only appears to show one lot of options so if I only offered 1st class and an option and only shipped to the UK then it would be perfect. I can’t see a way of doing the above, am I missing something or is that not possible with this plugin?
