Biggest opportunity: Swap “coming soon” and “404 page” for “landing” and “launch page”. “coming soon” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “landing” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “404 page” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “launch page” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 600 of 63.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “coming soon” and “404 page” for “landing” and “launch page”. “coming soon” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “landing” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “404 page” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “launch page” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “landing pages”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “maintenance page”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Awesome Plugin! Does what it claims to do. Never any problems.

This plugin is so lame and restrictive, Could’ve been a good choice in 2010 but its not for current needs of a landing page.

Wow. Finally, something that is just simple, nice and clean. Love it, Love it and yes. I love it.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ebdawson9.6y ago
I’ve been wanting a landing page on my site for a couple months now, but the only recommendation was for a service not in my current budget. So I gritted my teeth and began looking at my free options. I tested out about three or four, reading their reviews, actually installing them, launching them, and testing them. Landing page cat was the best fit for my needs. It is clean and professional. I love the picture options for the background. Other landing page plugins may allow a little more customization, but can be confusing. Some wouldn’t let me delete features which I had no use for. My only hesitation with this plugin was that there is no way for the user to “opt out.” I was able to add it in manually by attaching the landing page to my homepage, and putting in a link that says “Continue to Site,” which led to a specific url on my page. That way users can subscribe to my email list but don’t have to. And I understand the developers may be putting in this feature soon. So far customer support is very good.

Looks good and easy to set up
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ tonyost9.8y ago
I’ve used the fat cat pricing tables for a long time now and have been very happy with it. So I thought I’d give their landing page plugin a go too. It was really easy to set up, something that is very important for me. It looks great too. If it’s anything like the pricing tables I expect it to get even better over time. Keep up the good work!
