Biggest opportunity: Swap “carousel”, “testimonial slider” and “testimonial” for “stories”, “responsive testimonial” and “trust”. “carousel” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “stories” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “testimonial slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “responsive testimonial” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “testimonial” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “trust” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 5.4K 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 1 release 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 “carousel”, “testimonial slider” and “testimonial” for “stories”, “responsive testimonial” and “trust”. “carousel” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “stories” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “testimonial slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “responsive testimonial” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “testimonial” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “trust” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “testimonial plugin”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

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
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.
