Downloads are cooling

Needs work

30-day download momentum is -21% while the Booking & Events category median is +12%. The decline is steeper than the market, which points at something plugin-specific.

What to do: A coordinated content + outreach push can re-ignite installs.

Actively maintained. Updated within the last quarter, a strong trust and ranking signal.
