Biggest opportunity: “popup confirmation”, “popup message” and “popup send” 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.

How it's measured →13%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 7.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,675 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 5.7.21.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

Perfect plugin to combine with contact form 7. Easy to use.

Was looking for something to pop up to let the customer know the message was sent. Otherwise the “message was sent” is kind of hidden at the bottom. Kudos!

This plugin simply corrects the compatibility error with Sweet Alert, started in version 5.4 of Contact Form 7 and masterfully configures popups for each type of message. Congratulations to the author!
