of downloads still active
At least 10K of 384.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,267 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
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “player”, “audio” and “playlists” (#7, #8 and #20 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.
