Biggest opportunity: “elementor blog filter”, “elementor category filter” and “elementor post filter” 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 →3.2%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 30.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,271 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| elementor blog filter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| elementor category filter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| elementor post filter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

It works just fine. I downgraded to 4 stars ONLY due to your zombie-like reminders to give you a 5-star rating; ** DOWNGRADED TO 3 STARS BECAUSE YOUR REMINDERS TO GIVE YOU A RATING NEVER STOP!! STOP IT!!! ** they continue to clutter my WP Dashboard even when I hit “Already Reviewed”. REALLY annoying. I don’t mind you asking … it’s part of SEO. But PLEASE … lighten up a bit!

They may be a 5-star, but not with this massive PITA reminder. I’ll rate you when I’m good and ready. Stop forcing this message on every singe refresh or page change. “Hello! Seems like you’ve been using Blog, Posts and Category Filter for Elementor for a long time. Could you please do us a BIG favor and give it a 5-star rating on WordPress? This would boost our motivation and help other users make a comfortable decision while choosing the Blog, Posts and Category Filter for Elementor Plugin” This topic was modified 1 year ago by jonfarvane1. Reason: wrong star count

Although i’ve have this plugin installed and active on my development site for some time, I haven’t really been using it, I’m not certain it does what I need it to do, so I cannot give a full and fair review. However, I also can’t get the banner asking me to review it to go away! So you get a 3-start “average” review. If I wind up using and liking it (or not) I’ll update my review.

If you use this plugin you no longer can rely on default category paths working! So if you are looking to link to your Category directly – you CANNOT! Not good design/Not good for SEO
