Biggest opportunity: Swap “analytics”, “gtm” and “contact form 7” for “controls”, “form tracking” and “form analytics”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “controls” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gtm” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “form tracking” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “contact form 7” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “form analytics” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

How it's measured →5.3%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 188.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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 1 release 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.

I spent ages looking for a solution to add a redirect after submission and then found this plugin. Saves a lot of time and no need to add javascript or edit the functions file.

Redirection AND saving of data to flamingo WORKS This is amazing. THANK YOU!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ kodeo8.1y ago
Very useful plugin! I would love to see an Autocomplete Option to turn Autocomplete OFF for ALL forms. By default fields have Autocomplete ON. Although it’s possible to change it by field attribute, I’d found it easier to have a global settings to disable Autocomplete for all forms. This topic was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by kodeo.

Following the removal of the on_sent_ok hook from CF7, I’ve tried several plugins to perform redirection following form submission, and this is the only one I’ve found that works reliably with all browsers. And it has other useful features. 5 stars.

Works great! Only working solution I could find to properly set the ReCaptcha language (as auto-language detect is generally useless on a multi-language site).
