Biggest opportunity: “extension” and “mailpoet” 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.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 12.8K 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.
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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.9.40, well behind 7.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| sebs studio your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| wysija your tag | #8 | #6 | 0 |
| extension your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gravity forms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| mailpoet your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

This is a great plugin. Do not get this mixed up with another plugin called “Gravity Forms Mail Poet Add-on”. That other plugin only adds users to a predefined list and does not allow users to pick and choose their list. But this plugin does and it works great with Gravity Forms. With this plugin, you can let your users pick and choose what they want to subscribe to and it’s all tied in with your MailPoet settings. Thanks for a creating this wonderful plugin!

Unfortunately this plugin is not working as intended. The another one, by Ben Hays, works well.

Fast and accurate support.

Don’t be confused…there are two plugins…this one: MailPoet Gravity Forms Add-on…and Gravity Forms Mail Poet Addon. USE THIS ONE!! The other plugin only assigns fields and it is not really a subscription tool as it automatically subscribes new users to mailing lists without gaining user permission.. This one…the MailPoet Gravity Forms Add-on adds a new field to your gravity forms drag and drop selector in the standard fields area. Works like a charm…easy to set up. Thanks MailPoet!
