Biggest opportunity: Add “fake accounts”, “fake email” and “fake” to your wp.org tags. You rank #9, #12 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 11.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,577 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks 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 5 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.

What to do about it

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

Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Femi4.9y ago
I was using AcyMailing for 2 years, when I heard that they were developing a new plugin: AcyChecker. What a surprise! AcyChecker is very useful, I wasn’t aware that my database was so full of fake users. AcyChecker helped me clean my database efficiently. The interface and the features are really easy to understand and to use. If you want to improve your database. Jump on the occasion, you won’t regret it!
