Biggest opportunity: Swap “country flag” and “international phone” for “dial code” and “input”. “country flag” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dial code” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “international phone” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “input” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →10%
of downloads still active
At least 700 of 6.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,675 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.
