Biggest opportunity: Swap “archives” for “child”. “archives” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “child” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 80 of 6.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 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.

I don’t know why someone gave it 3 points, I think it’s undeserved. The plugin is interesting and I think it will be in demand.

This is a good start for a plugin. I know there is a method of using short codes and modifying the functions file but Child Pages Card plugin made it so easy, all i had to do is add it as a block on my page post and it worked. I have been using the plugin since about February 2020 and just recently made a donation. Good job to the dev of this plugin, there is lots of potential here. For a small update it would be cool to be able to list ascending /descending by a-z / z-a. And maybe a back to parent page button. Keep up the good work
