Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor” and “shortcode” for “elementor copy paste” and “anything”. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “elementor copy paste” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “anything” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 379.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,263 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 17 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “elementor” and “shortcode” for “elementor copy paste” and “anything”. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “elementor copy paste” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “anything” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

The Copy Anything to Clipboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 4.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Hopefully this can be fixed soon!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ krikke2.6y ago
The plugin does what it says. It allows you to chose text to be copied in a variety of scenarios and for many use cases. However,.. I do not condone the design choises being made. Loading scripts, regardless of use, on all pages is a no-go. Certainly given the page-speed impact they have High page-speed impact compared to a manual js implementation of a “copy to clipboard” functionality Loading back-end JS files even with the plugin not being used anywhere is a no-go (eg. block-editor.min.js, editor.min.js, etc.) I had to remove the plugin from all client websites. That being said, the support team seems open to feedback for improvement & recognized these issues. So I might give it some time and come back in the future.
