Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai” and “contact” for “contact form email” and “visual form”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “contact form email” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “contact” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “visual form” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.5%

of downloads still active

At least 8K of 1.7M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,016 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI 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 13 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.
