Biggest opportunity: Swap “link” for “keyboard”. “link” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “keyboard” sits at #4 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 →11%
of downloads still active
At least 100K of 931.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,263 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 4 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “link” for “keyboard”. “link” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “keyboard” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Apart from not being updated, this plugin stores the code in NON-STANDARD areas in the DB. Result – screwed up websites that will not restore properly! THIS IS A DREADFUL PIECE OF CODING, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT USE THIS!!!!!!
