Biggest opportunity: “contact form 7”, “contact form 7 database” and “contact form db” 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 →5.0%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.

I downloaded this plugin earlier this morning and it has been super practical and easy to use! I highly recommend it!

Just installed it, I’ve been using it for the last couple of hours. This is really working for me and I think I will stick to this one. Interface is nice and sharp and also minimalistic, that helps a lot when trying to focus on what matters.
