Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor” for “plus”. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “plus” sits at #6 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 →12%
of downloads still active
At least 70K of 579.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,264 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 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

The latest update introduced a helpful improvement with auto-toggling dropdowns. However, on mobile devices, the dropdown icon appears on the next line instead of staying alongside the text.
