Biggest opportunity: “acf”, “flexible content” and “repeater” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 3K of 73.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

    Works like a charm! The buttons are stylish and it’s easy to guess what they do.

    I’m using ACF to make my own “page builder”. Using ACF this way means a lot of fields and things get out of hand pretty quickly with clients missing the big picture. This plugin solves that problem with a neat collapse button.
