Biggest opportunity: “calendar”, “event calendar” and “events calendar” 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.

How it's measured →3.0%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 3.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 944 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events 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 1 release 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.

I recently installed this embeddable calendar plugin on my WordPress site, and I couldn’t be happier! The design is super sleek, blending perfectly with my site’s aesthetics. Configuration was a breeze—I was able to set everything up directly in the block settings without any hassle. It works exceptionally well, displaying events smoothly and responsively. Highly recommended!
