Biggest opportunity: “elementor”, “faq” and “json ld” 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 →9.4%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 8.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,268 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| elementor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| faq your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| json ld your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| schema your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| structured data your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

I’ve just installed this plugin and it worked like a charm for me. Super easy to use: you install it, you add the widget in the Elementor page where you want to use it, add the Q&A, update page… and it just works! After doing that process (which took me 5 minutes), I requested the indexation in Google Search Console and FAQs are already showing in Google SERPs 🙂 Thank you very much for the plugin!
