Biggest opportunity: “elementor”, “flyout menu” and “mega menu” 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 1K of 74.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,269 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.

Removal-risk signals

53/100

Maintenance 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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.25.

    J’ai acheté cette extension et n’ai pas réussie à m’en servir. La programmation est vraiment mal conçue et son propriétaire n’a jamais corrigé les défauts.

    Hard to get how to set it, said “Multiple CSS3 menu transition effects” but no place to set it. Poor support, not getting answered. This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by mstudioIL.

    Would be a nice plugin as far as layout but it does’t work at all! Would have bought the pro version but not when the free version doesn’t even function. For me to take the time out to review means it needs removed from wordpress!!

    I did the update, as recommended, but the plugin stopped working. I try to edit the menu I created, but it no longer appears in wordpress.

    Attempting to edit resulted in blank screens and page hangs. Not very user friendly, even after viewing the videos.
