Biggest opportunity: Swap “export wordpress” for “html to pdf”. “export wordpress” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “html to pdf” sits at #4 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 4K of 183.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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 19 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 “export wordpress” for “html to pdf”. “export wordpress” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “html to pdf” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “export wordpress”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I just wanted to reach out and say how thrilled I am to have found your “Export WP Pages to HTML & PDF – Simply Create a Static Website” plugin. This is exactly what I was looking for! I often create landing pages in WordPress, and there are times when my clients request an HTML version of their landing pages. Previously, converting WordPress pages to HTML was a time-consuming process, but your plugin has made it incredibly easy and efficient. Honestly, I wish I had discovered this tool sooner. It’s already saving me a lot of time and effort. Thank you for developing such a practical solution for WordPress users like me!
