Biggest opportunity: Add “estimate calculator” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed it's a slot worth spending.

2.3%

of downloads still active

At least 600 of 26.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,671 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.

This plugin shipped 1 release 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.
