Biggest opportunity: “testimonial slider” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

17%

of downloads still active

At least 7K of 42.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,265 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 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.
