How it's measured →6.2%
of downloads still active
At least 900 of 14.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,666 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release 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.
