Biggest opportunity: “block”, “image slider” and “slider” 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.

How it's measured →4.5%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 44.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,581 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.18.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| block your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| block editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gutenberg your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image slider your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| slider your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

It was a nice plugin that gave me nice image slides, but it is no longer working.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Virginie FAVRAT5.4y ago
Thank you very much for this plugin which allows to create sliders so easily and quickly. It is great for beginners. I only put 4 stars because I would like that it would be possible to click on an image to see it in original size (or bigger size that in the slider).
