Biggest opportunity: Swap “notice”, “woocommerce” and “wpc” for “preorder”, “gift message” and “fly cart”. “notice” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “preorder” sits at #15 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. “gift message” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wpc” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fly cart” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.5%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 28.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 11 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| smart messages | #3 | #15 | 0 |
| messages your tag | #4 | #15 | 0 |

50 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 9 listed. 41 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “notice”, “woocommerce” and “wpc” for “preorder”, “gift message” and “fly cart”. “notice” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “preorder” sits at #15 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. “gift message” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wpc” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fly cart” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “message”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Put the plugin on pure wordpress + woocommerce to avoid errors. So even in this case, pre-installed messages give an error like /wp-content/plugins/wpc-smart-messages/includes/class-frontend.php on line 147In this case, if you add all shortcodes from the examples to the message, only some of them output text, the rest do not output anything.

This plugin is essential, see why:Every virtual store on the web needs to communicate information about its products to its customers, in different locations on the store and to the specific users (if you have them segmented by roles/profiles), and at the exact moment when their purchase reaches a certain amount for example, and many other occasions, which the plugin covers many (Triggers and filters)Someone will say that I do it with a simple snippet, but having them organized with this plugin, being able to design the message by adding images and shortcode, and then place the message through hooks (predefine or custom hook)In short, it is a magnificent plugin that can help you a lot to improve what you communicate to your customers, have those messages well organized, activate and deactivate them whenever you want manually or automatically, and decide on the design you need. For now the plugin is still free, and despite that the attention of its technical support was excellent.
