Biggest opportunity: Swap “block” for “block ip”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “block ip” 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 →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 32.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 10 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.

Estimated active installs

Crossed into this band 22 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 600.

I have several Meow plugins including some of the PRO versions, so I thought I’d try this one! This is an easy-to-use plugin that has a simple elegance. I do wish it had a Cloudflare option as well as Captcha v3 but don’t let that put you off. Get it!

As a freelance developer, I’ve worked with many contact form plugins over the years. Contact Form Block stands out for its simplicity and performance. The codebase is clean and well-documented, making it easy to extend or customize when needed. I love that it uses native Gutenberg blocks – no need for shortcodes or extra CSS. The lack of bloat means faster page loads, which my clients and their visitors appreciate. One feature I particularly like is the ability to add custom validation rules. It gives me the flexibility to create more complex forms when required, without resorting to heavier plugins. The only downside is the limited selection of pre-built templates, but for a free plugin, it’s hard to complain. This has become my default choice for most client projects.
