Biggest opportunity: “ajax contact form”, “contact form” and “custom contact form” 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 10 of 2.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

This plugin is what I was looking for. To show a contact button on the front-end and to open an ajax contact form on button click. This plugin also captures the page info and IP of user. Very useful for allowing users to report bugs, technical issues, wrong info or for any other contact related purpose. Just one suggestion to the Dev: Please add dropdown options for selecting a pre-set subject.

Супер! Давно искал плагин который можно повесить на кнопки созданные через PageBuilder. Вот бы еще анимацию добавили для виджета (которая постоянно бы работала), сейчас только при наведении. Ну и выбор оформления всплывающего окна если бы был вообще супер!
