Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility” and “gutenberg block” for “spacing” and “speech”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spacing” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “speech” sits at #10 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 →12%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 84K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 2 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.

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 “accessibility” and “gutenberg block” for “spacing” and “speech”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spacing” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “speech” sits at #10 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 “text to speech”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Благодарим разработчика за очень полезный плагин. P.S. для вызова плагина своей кнопкой используйте CSS: ( class=”bvi-open” )

На сайтах бюджетных организаций такой сервис сегодня обязателен. Благодарю автора, жаль только, что 2-й год без обновлений.

Отличная реализация и функционал.

Вполне устраивает плагин, пока работает. Не могу ничего сказать про его качество, так как нужен он для галочки и отчетности (бюджетная организация). Проблема в том, что не работал плагин около года, после обновления 2.3 – в нужном месте на сайте кнопка не появлялась. В течении года несколько раз деактивировал/активировал/убирал/размещал/перемещал – это не решало проблему. Сегодня от нечего делать решил всё-таки разобраться с причиной, полезть в код при необходимости, разместил виджет в очередной раз – а он работает. Ну ОК. Однако минус автору за полное отсуствие обратной связи. Плевать на отзывы? This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by Steven Stern (sterndata).

Новая версия плагина 2.0, еще лучше старой, есть только некоторые сложности с изменением стилей, если их нужно поменять, но думаю это дело привычки.
