Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form”, “email form” and “form builder” for “responsive contact form”, “form widget” and “easy contact form”. “contact form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “responsive contact form” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “email form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “form widget” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “form builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “easy contact form” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.8%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 124.9K 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.

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.
