Biggest opportunity: Swap “sign up form” for “easiest”. “sign up form” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “easiest” sits at #16 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 →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 1.1M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,671 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.
This plugin shipped 5 releases 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “sign up form” for “easiest”. “sign up form” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “easiest” sits at #16 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 “sign up form”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I built a new website for a MailChimp user but knew nothing about it. When I needed to export and import my client’s mail list to the new website install, the tech support at Mail Munch was very prompt and effective. They are the best.

This plugin doesn’t even let you create one form to experiment with, without giving up your email address, phone number, country, all sorts of info. This company are just data harvesting scumbags, and the sign up was pretty glitchy so I doubt the plugin itself is any better. Avoid. This topic was modified 4 years ago by Steven Stern (sterndata). Reason: removed offensive word from title
