How it's measured →1.2%
of downloads still active
At least 30K of 2.4M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 628 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support 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 13 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “ui”, “faq shortcode” and “responsive faq” (#5, #6 and #6 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

I have the free version of this plugin. The available formats are limited in the free edition, but it works very well. We all have to make a living.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Reponse Studio1.0y ago
Really well thought out but in my opinion it lacks rigor in construction. Lots of small operating bugs I bought the premium version and I had contact with support but no follow-up and no desire to correct the bugs. The team is not proactive. It’s really a shame because otherwise it’s not bad. But when you announce features you own them!
