Biggest opportunity: Swap “block” and “carousel” for “bring” and “slide”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bring” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “carousel” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “slide” sits at #24 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 →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 257.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 23 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.

I had a problem with the plugin on my website. The team could not reproduce this problem in the first instance. After I had given them admin rights, the problem was solved within a day. Compliment for the great support.

Don’t install this plugin “B Slider”, it’s dangerous for your website, once installed it doesn’t even work, gives error on the website, and then won’t even edit the page. And the more cruel thing is that it is not even disabled, neither by the admin nor by the developer. This is a dangerous situation. In which my website is stuck. It seems that this plugin has hijacked my website and made it a slave, now the plugin is neither un-installing nor giving an edit option. Nor is fixing my site. I’m stuck. . My site is down, my efforts are in vain

Just to mention, due to one block on the frontend – the entire Bootstrap CSS, entire React JS, complete fontAwesome.css are all loaded. Woow? You can say goodbye to fast page speed. The only good thing is that those are not loaded on every page, but only on those using blocks.

Been very happy with our pro purchase. Did have a few issues, but the developer is very responsive and supports this plugin well.
