Biggest opportunity: Swap “digital downloads” for “theme generator”. “digital downloads” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “theme generator” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 52.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 24 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.

Happy with the plugin, does what it is supposed to do. (Premium Plugin) Support was very quick and solution oriented. Only bummer for us is, that it’s not working with WPML. Hopefully that gets resolved one day.
