Biggest opportunity: “elementor”, “elementor header” and “footer builder” 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 6K of 117.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,266 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 your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| elementor header your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| footer builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| header builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sticky menu 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). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

- “elementor”, “elementor header” and “footer builder” 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.

I inherited a website that had this plugin installed. It’s not needed if you know how to properly use the header/footer builders in your theme. It was blocking the titles from showing up on blog posts and it hadn’t been updated in a year. It’s just bad and not needed.
