Biggest opportunity: “block”, “block builder” and “design” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 9K of 171.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 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.

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 builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| design your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| elementor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gutenberg your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

My team and I find it quite useful, love this plugin!

I installed with a a version of Elementor a few months old, granted this one also hasn’t been updated in 7 months. It caused a critical error on my site. I don’t think a company of the caliber of Elementor should be releasing plugins that can do this, and also not updating plugins like this in over 7 months. Remove it if you are risking crashing people’s sites. I will gladly test an upgraded version and update my review.

Disclaimer: I work at Elementor and consider myself an actual fan. I do feel comfortable leaving this review as it’s how I feel as a Web Creator myself. It’s been a while since this plugin was updated, but after user requests, we did it so they could keep working on their projects. Myself included!
