Biggest opportunity: Swap “gutenberg block” and “block” for “get” and “clicks”. “gutenberg block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “get” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “block” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “clicks” sits at #7 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 →4.7%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 106K 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.
This plugin shipped 20 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “gutenberg block” and “block” for “get” and “clicks”. “gutenberg block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “get” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “block” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “clicks” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

This is a perfect plugin but it blocks the media library on the editor after popup update. So, the latest versions aren’t usable. This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by zaferge.
