How it's measured →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 200K of 7.6M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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 3 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. “flatsome”, “theme fonts” and “embedded” (#6, #6 and #11 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Very nice Plugin
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ danielepais4mo ago
Unless you only need one font (no variants)….which is very…..very….improbable….then you need a premium. Otherwise I would give it a 5 stars.

Use any font is a standard install on all my websites as using the correct font for the brand makes such an important difference to the design. It always works and I hope they keep on keeping it simple and straight forward to use.
