Biggest opportunity: “drag and drop”, “editor” and “elementor” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 6K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.0.31, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| drag and drop your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| elementor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| landing page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Nichlas Brandon8.5y ago
This is a fantastic page builder plugin. While it doesn’t (yet) “integrate” with WordPress in the way you’re used to from other popular page builders, I found it a lot easier and faster to use for building out your page content, especially as a new user. That’s pretty funny since DragDropr is more of a universal page builder that isn’t tied excplicitly to WordPress or any other CMS. DragDropr’s approach is different in the sense that you build your layouts via your DragDropr dashboard builder, DragDropr converts your layout and content into HTML, and you paste that HTML into your WordPress WYSIWIG editor in text mode, and voila. Personally, I like coding HTML and CSS stuff from scratch, so I tend to stay from page builders. But this tool comes in quite handy when I want to save some time. 🙂 Good job and looking forward to when DragDropr can fully tackle dynamic content in WordPress!
