Biggest opportunity: Add “cover”, “banner” and “cookie banner” to your wp.org tags. You rank #13, #14 and #14 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 50K of 213.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.1%, across 502 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent 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 12 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Add “cover”, “banner” and “cookie banner” to your wp.org tags. You rank #13, #14 and #14 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “cookie consent”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “50K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 8 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 50K.
At the current install trend, crossing 60K+ in roughly 35 days.

Some of the additional Elementor plugins aren’t that great, but this one integrates perfectly with Elementor Pro, I’m a fan so far. It’s still very new and I’ve run into a few plugin conflicts and minor bugs, but good overall.

Not firing properly on the fronted, maybe issues with wp-rocket or server cache. Good admin experience, but poor user experience. it cause my site to lose all analytics pixels for every user. Will def try again when it gets fixed, I love the fact that this goes really well with elementor

Lo sto testando, e per ora lo trovo veramente comodo e all’altezza dell’ecosistema di Elementor
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ markgreen5mo ago
With Cookiez and Ally as a combo it really makes managing compliancy a breeze. I already use Elementor for 6 websites and getting everything up to standard took almost no time at all and better yet no additional subscriptions. My only complaint right now is that it’s loading a font I’m not using on my site and it’s dinging my page speed score a bit.
