Biggest opportunity: “layered popup”, “pop” and “pop up” 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 70 of 17.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.1.42, well behind 6.8.

Hi, I have the premium version of Layered Popups. It is the go to and a must for all my clients purchase. If you know a little html, or are familiar with using the WordPress editor you can create very awesome unlimited things with Layered Popups. It requires a little more work than other plugins but the options available, the abilities to brand yourself exactly how you see fit are limitless with Layered Popups. If you’re tired of your popups being restrictive Layered Popups is by far the way to go. Oh, the Premium comes with about 30-30 Popup templates you can easily change the content of to fit your branding. Love this plugin!

Love this plugin. Why works straight away with no messing around. Follows the wp ethos no pushing to buy the upgrade. Offer is there if you want to take it. Good video tut on youtube. Will prob buy upgrade because of this. Looking at codecanyon and seeing the amount of sales I am not suprised 🙂 If could give you 10 stars I would.
