Biggest opportunity: Swap “blocks”, “gutenberg” and “wordpress blocks” for “divider”, “gutenberg block” and “rows”. “blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “divider” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “gutenberg block” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wordpress blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rows” sits at #24 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 →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 300K of 28.5M lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 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.

Plugin likely abandoned as support responses seem few and far between and no updates in quite some time This topic was modified 1 month, 2 weeks ago by wigglypoppins.

The plugin automatically loads Google fonts using fonts.googleapis.com which violates European data protection laws (GDPR/DSGVO). No reaction on form questions. No updates since 8 months. Deactivated, then deleted the plugin.

Finally! A plugin that does what it says and doesn’t try to cram in 57849325748392 extra features I’ll never use. The blocks look great and appear to be widely compatible with the themes I’m using.

It’s great addon for standard blocks.

Every time I sync my site with staging or production using the GoDaddy WordPress hosting with staging plan, the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” check box is selected. I called GoDaddy and they said it was their Co Blocks plug-in (that they developed) and they will work on it. It has been happening for almost a year.

“Our blocks are hyper-focused on empowering makers to build beautifully rich pages in WordPress.” – as long as you don’t view them on mobile because we (GoDaddy) don’t understand how to make mobile-responsive blocks for Gutenberg.
