Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact button” for “mobile”. “contact button” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mobile” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 600 of 3K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release 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 “contact button” for “mobile”. “contact button” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mobile” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “600+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 600.
At the current install trend, crossing 700+ in roughly 66 days.
