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

of downloads still active
At least 7K of 107.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 2 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.

Cheers, very handy – HOWEVER I can’t get it to work on Pop Ups (Popups for Divi) on a mobile device. Any tricks you’d be able to share? Thanks heaps.

I had a menu page that would pinch/zoom perfectly… but ONLY on IOS devices. I couldn’t get that darn page to work properly on an Android to save my life. Spent MANY hrs trying different things. Just stumbled upon this plugin, installed it, activated it and BAMMM! Android devices work perfectly on it (and it didn’t affect IOS thank goodness). THANK YOU !
