Biggest opportunity: “beaver builder”, “beaver builder enhancements” and “beaver builder modules” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 500 of 24.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,266 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| beaver builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| beaver builder enhancements your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| beaver builder modules your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Great addition to Beaver Builder adding some of the stuff (like a variety of animations) that even Premium ones do not provide. YouTube element seem to load faster than other alternatives. Thanks a lot!

Not sure how I found this plugin last fall, but so happy I did. I use it on every Beaver Builder project I create now as well… a must have, with valuable additions to the Beaver.

Thanks for a brilliant plugin Doug. I’ve mostly used the video embed module for now and it is totally amazing. Not just because it enables adding videos more efficiently but also because of the creative avenues it opens with the video image. Top work. Now officially part of my development stack. Thanks again.

This works great for video, haven’t tried the other modules. Very hard to find in the repository, though. I don’t know how you optimize for that but I couldn’t find it by searching for the plugin name, only “optimising video” or something like that and I don’t spell optimize that way normally, so I never would’ve found it if I hadn’t read your blog about it!
