Biggest opportunity: Swap “google reviews” and “woocommerce” for “shipping estimate” and “backorders”. “google reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shipping estimate” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “backorders” sits at #21 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 17.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,143 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 16 releases 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ship date your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| ship | #2 | #5 | 0 |

| delivery estimate your tag | #4 | #9 | 0 |
| shipping estimate | #4 | #6 | up 1 |

17 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 9 listed. 8 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

This plugin enables us to display shipping estimate next to the shipping methods, it’s simple and easy to use, and the support is excellent.

Very good application and support. I encountered a problem and the developer responded within a day and very quickly deployed an update to correct the problem.

This looks like such a nice plugin. I needed something very simple and lightweight to show the shipping estimated times in the way you did it, right where the shipping fees are listed. However, I’m not able to use it. Whenever I activate the plugin, the display of my plugins list goes array. Totally messed up. So I’m not willing to compromise and truthfully, don’t have time to report it and wait on a fix. I’ve moved on to a different plugin. I hope this feedback is helpful!

I asked if the plugin could follow the stock dynamically according to backorder shipping estimate time and they solved the issue and realeased an update on the plugin within a week. Thanks again for the help and the nice plugin! 🙂
