Biggest opportunity: Add “ups shipping method” to your wp.org tags. You rank #18 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 4.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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.

If you have a store that ships a lot of small items that don’t have dimensions or standard boxes, this is a very easy plugin to use. It totals the weight of the cart and creates a weight based request for rates. We have a store that sells a lot of large and small items and the boxes can go easily over 75lbs when totaled with everything in it (ie: 2 40lb items), which causes errors in returning rates (exceeds the weight limits). This is a really light plugin so it was very easy for me to rewrite a portion of the code to split boxes and make it work for our client.
