Biggest opportunity: Swap “block”, “editor” and “gutenberg blocks” for “90”, “blocks patterns” and “pattern”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “90” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “editor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “blocks patterns” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pattern” sits at #19 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 →1.3%
of downloads still active
At least 700 of 53.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,579 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 40 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “block”, “editor” and “gutenberg blocks” for “90”, “blocks patterns” and “pattern”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “90” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “editor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “blocks patterns” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pattern” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

Very complete plugin.

I recently started using the B Blocks plugin and it has made a huge difference in the quality and functionality of my WordPress websites. The Ultimate Block Collection is truly a timesaver and – it includes a wide range of blocks that have helped me create more interesting dynamic pages.

I just wanted to say that if you are looking for the best block plug-in collection then you need not look any further. This is the ultimate block collection. Highly recommended.
