Biggest opportunity: “elementor”, “google map” and “gutenberg” 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 →3.8%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 21.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,272 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.
This plugin shipped 4 releases 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.

One of the best and easy to use map plugin. Can use OpenStreetMap so you don’t need a paid licens from Gooogle. I was up and running in five minutes on my new website! This topic was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by mlplus.
