Biggest opportunity: “email”, “newsletter” and “subscribers” 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 500 of 21.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,295 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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 14 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.

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 |

| email your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| newsletter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| subscribers your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

L-am configurat pentru a folosi formulare popup și automatizările. Instalarea se face rapid. Recomand cu încredere!

I needed an email marketing service provider, for me it does the job
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Eduard Doloc3.3y ago
Cea mai mare problemă la această integrare este modul de comunicare între website și serverele newsman; din ce am reușit să deduc din analizele interne pe câteva conturi/servere/domenii diferite, pare să fie o problemă că serverul lor este prea încet în captarea și procesarea de date pentru activitatea utilizatorilor, iar din acest motiv când ai mini spike-uri de trafic (chiar și 50+ utilizatori), îți blochează și ție website-ul pentru că serverul tău așteaptă după serverul newsman să confirme primirea de date pentru fiecare sesiune generată/actualizată/etc.; anterior problema aceasta apărea la 100+ unici, acum bănuiesc că s-a mărit numărul de clienți, dar infrastructura / puterea computațională a rămas aceeași. Am raportat la asistența tehnic această problemă (mail și github) și au dat vina pe serverul unde este website-ul, doar că problema este că același lucru l-am pățit la 3 conturi diferite, chiar dacă fără integrarea lor website-ul duce spike-uri de 1000 fără nici o problemă și zeci de comenzi pe secundă… Pentru cine dorește să folosească în continuare, le recomand să dezactiveze integrarea când trimit un newsleter!
