Install conversion
How it's measured →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 9K of 333K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,673 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.
This plugin shipped 2 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.

Search visibility
How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| contact slider your tag | #5 | #6 | down 1 |
| slider | #16 | #17 | up 2 |
| formidable forms your tag | #24 | #18 | — |
| contact widget | #24 | #21 | 0 |
| contact form 7 your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gravity forms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ninja forms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it

I am using the free version of WP Contact Slider. I asked them if it was possible to open on hover. They wrote back that this is not available, but then a few days later they wrote that they had developed a JS script to do as I asked. They explained, step by step, how to add the script, and when it didn’t work for me they followed up with screenshots, and I was able to see that I hadn’t set the options correctly. WOW! How often do you get this kind of support for a free plugin. Almost never. I highly, highly recommend this plugin and its authors. Thank you so much!
