Biggest opportunity: Swap “editor”, “page builder” and “tinymce” for “tinymce editor”, “drag and drop builder” and “drop”. “editor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tinymce editor” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “page builder” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “drag and drop builder” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “tinymce” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “drop” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 1.9M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,264 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 7 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
- Swap “editor”, “page builder” and “tinymce” for “tinymce editor”, “drag and drop builder” and “drop”. “editor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tinymce editor” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “page builder” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “drag and drop builder” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “tinymce” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “drop” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “page builder”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “tinymce”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I couldn’t have built my website without this and I’m glad to have it. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because some times it’s a little clunky trying to get something exactly the way I want it. But if you have no experience building a website, you definitely want this to be your first stop.

Makes building pages and posts much easier, and makes a wide range of design aspects more accessible to those without coding knowledge. Also brilliant for even the most basic page or post due to convenience and interface.

Tons of options. I still find myself going into the code to adjust the column sizes.

I’m far from an expert web dev, so this editor gets the job done for me.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ tubaphonium2.0y ago
What can I say? This is a very flexible and professional editor. The learning curve is not steep and it provides as much freedom as you want, working well with almost all plug-ins and provides a clean polished finish! I highly recommend this tool. The premium version adds a whole new level of tools to keep you up and running securely and worry free!
