Biggest opportunity: “chart”, “forms” and “graph” 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 100 of 21K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| maxicharts | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| chartsjs your tag | #2 | #2 | — |
| chart your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| forms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| graph your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gravity your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “chart”, “forms” and “graph” 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.
- Already on top for “maxicharts”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

although not the easiest learning curve (the shortcode can be a really pain in the ass), with the good service of a paid subscription of the owner, its a real fine grained solution to add charts to your gravity form.

Easy to add and customize. They look very professional and have a high visual impact.

Super consiglio questo plugin, perché le persone che ci stanno dietro sono disponibilissime in caso di necessità. Messo tra i preferiti immediatamente 🙂

The plugin is easy to use with the shortcodes and it offers all types of configurations. It really helps to visualize the data you collected from Gravity form. I had an issue with a multiselect field that wouldn’t display, but the Maxicharts support fixed the problem very quickly and made an update. Totally worth it.

I’ve used this for both its Gravity Forms and CSV integration on different sites, and it’s been great to use. It would be nice to have an add-on for allowing datasets to be managed directly on the site (without needing to edit/upload/replace CSV files directly) in the future. Otherwise, I think this is an absolute great start!
