of downloads still active
At least 10K of 873.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 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 3 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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “magnifier”, “image” and “image editor” (#4, #24 and #24 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

The plugin developer responded to my wp-dot-org post quickly and went the extra mile of offering a detailed solution for the issue I was dealing with.

It’s the plugin that added a lot to my wanderer’s blog. When needed, it helps to see closeups of e.g. architectural element on my photos. Very useful, indeed! This topic was modified 7 months ago by Zbigniew Szczepanczyk.

I installed this plugin and I could not get it to work until I stumbled across a suggestion that if I clicked on the photo and then added zoooom to the class for the photo block and then it worked like a charm. I have only tried the free version. The spelling of zoooom with 4 ‘o’s is deliberate. My main comment is I would make that instruction a lot clearer as I was just about to give up on the plugin.

Ich bin begeistert vom WP Image Zoom Plugin! Die Einrichtung war unkompliziert, die Bedienung intuitiv, und das Ergebnis sieht auf jeder Seite professionell aus. Besonders hilfreich finde ich die Möglichkeit, den Zoom-Effekt individuell anzupassen – egal ob für Produktfotos, medizinische Bilder oder Detailaufnahmen. Die Zoom-Funktion läuft flüssig, ist responsiv und funktioniert zuverlässig auf Desktop und mobilen Geräten. Auch der Support ist schnell und freundlich, was für mich ein großer Pluspunkt ist. Ein rundum gelungenes Plugin – klare Empfehlung für alle, die ihren Besuchern ein besseres Bild-Erlebnis bieten möchten!

So i tried the plugin, it was working as expected, there was a little “bug”, i have tried to fix myself, but no luck. Then i contacted the support of plugin, after like 2 minutes i received a response with the fix and IT WORKED. I am not sure why people rate the plugin anything less than 5 stars, but this is the must have plugin for you woocommerce website!
