Ultimate Addons for Elementor – Widgets, Templates, WooCommerce & Header Footer Builder

Reviewers keep praising fast, responsive support and the plugin's lightweight feel, with just one older review complaining about bloat and ads in the free version.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

1777 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 1618 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 31% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2.4 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   It’s incredibly lightweight. I used another Elementor addon before, but even enabling just one or two widgets made the editor laggy and frustrating to use. UAE, however, is extremely light and smooth. I was a bit worried at first because it has fewer widgets, but it actually has all the essential ones you truly need. Their support team responds very quickly too. Highly recommended!
