*Regarding third-party measurement: WordPress plugin rules don’t permit the automatic collection of stats and performance data (although some merchants do opt in to share data). We use third-party measurement tools, including StoreLeads.app and W3Techs, to build an accurate estimate of WooCommerce installations, growth, and geographic distribution.
