Biggest opportunity: “exit intent”, “lead collection” and “popup” 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 20 of 11.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 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.
