Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor”, “header” and “navigation” for “shrink”, “glassmorphism” and “layout shift”. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shrink” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “header” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “glassmorphism” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “navigation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “layout shift” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →7.5%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,263 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 17 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.

I was looking for a simple solution to make my Elementor headers sticky and customize them after scroll. Sticky Elementor not only did that perfectly, but the latest update made it fully compatible with other addons I use like Royal Addons and ElementsKit. Now my menu colors, buttons, and even logo swap work smoothly together without conflicts. Super lightweight and really easy to set up. Highly recommended!

I’ve tried multiple sticky plugins for Elementor, but this one stands out for its simplicity and power. It works perfectly with the new Flexbox containers and lets you make headers, logos, sections — even toolbars — sticky in just a few clicks.Features like:Sticky on scrollShrink logoHide on scroll downSticky delayAnd full responsive controls And all included for free — no need for Pro!The support team is also super responsive and helpful on Instagram. Highly recommended if you’re building modern Elementor websites!
