RT Mega Menu – Mega Menu Builder for Elementor & Gutenberg

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 38% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 7 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 61% of the way through.

At the current install trend, crossing 9K+ in roughly 196 days.

   Great to see the developer working so hard and pushing multiple updated. Only note for the developer is that lighthouse is showing some accessibility issues with the markup.

   Great plugin, lightweight, and if the free version isn’t enough, the pricing is very reasonable too! I ran into a small issue, but thanks to the fast and clear support, it was resolved quickly.
