Biggest opportunity: Swap “gift card” for “giftcards”. “gift card” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “giftcards” sits at #7 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 12.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,162 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

- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| giftcards | #7 | #4 | 0 |
| giftcard your tag | #9 | #5 | 0 |
| woocommerce giftcard your tag | #17 | #7 | down 1 |
| gift card your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gift vouchers 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. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “gift card” for “giftcards”. “gift card” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “giftcards” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Under-ranked on “woocommerce giftcard”. wp.org puts you #17; on merit you place #7. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
