of downloads still active
At least 5K of 566.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,156 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.

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.

What to do about it
- One page off on “glossary”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “woocommerce” 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.
- Already on top for “tooltips”. #3 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.
