Biggest opportunity: “country code” and “international phone input” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 8K of 82.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,679 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.20.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| cf7 international phone input your tag | #10 | #4 | down 1 |
| telephone flags input your tag | #20 | #12 | 0 |
| contact form 7 your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| country code your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Слишком скудные возможности по сравнению с оригинальным JS плагином.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ DimSar3.6y ago
The plugin is great, works as expected. will give 5 star if 2 bugs are fixed.1) when telephone is set as “required”, the wpcf7-not-valid-tip below the form doesnt show. 2) when selecting country flag on mobile, the dropdown is too big and ugly. (maybe a fullscreen dropdown that covers 80% vw and vh centered would be much prettier)
