Biggest opportunity: One page off on “vinyl”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

How it's measured →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 50 of 2.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| discogs your tag | #4 | #5 | 0 |
| vinyl your tag | #11 | #7 | 0 |
| discogs plugin | #4 | #5 | 0 |
| block your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gutenberg block your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wordpress block your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “vinyl”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “block”, “gutenberg block” and “wordpress block” 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.

Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “50+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 60.

Works very well and I hope that it will be continued with a few Options (Sorting, Items per Page, …).
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ retrojimmy2.7y ago
Since Discogs doesn’t allow iframes to embed collections within websites, this plugin is superb to have. It really needs to be able to filter and sort collections as well pagination as an option instead of infinite scrolling to be practical. Hopefully will see this plugin develop.

Easy to use – works out the box – and does what it says. Would be awesome if development continued on this! Would love to see additional options, such as being able to filter display to show only parts of a collection, for example “filter” by Genre.

The sheer fact that this plugin exists is heartening. I’m looking forward to updated releases where we can hopefully have options on the display, sorting, pagination, etc. Thank you for creating this plugin!
