Biggest opportunity: Swap “phone” for “typo”. “phone” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “typo” 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 →10%
of downloads still active
At least 40K of 393.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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 1 release 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.

Great plug in especially when people wants to call directly from their phone.

Although I could have coded this, the entire reason for switching to WordPress and it’s plugins was to make my life easier and wed development quicker. The WP Call Button has been a perfect solution for my latest project. Does exactly what I wanted and works every time. Well worth installing.
