Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor” for “create portfolio”. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “create portfolio” sits at #4 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 10K of 398.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,263 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 6 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.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles6 of the last 10 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

No Longer Works
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ AW Cerde3.0y ago
It lacks a basic feature that other plugins provide in their free version: The ability to create a grid layout with pagination. I purchased the Pro version thinking that the grid pagination would be included, but it wasn’t. Have not gotten a response from support about fixing the problem, or possibly including it in a future release. Pretty quiet over there.
