Biggest opportunity: Swap “mega menu” and “elementor templates” for “header” and “footer”. “mega menu” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “header” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor templates” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “footer” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →11%
of downloads still active
At least 30K of 274.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,272 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.
This plugin shipped 31 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.
