Biggest opportunity: “block”, “content” and “show” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →1.4%
of downloads still active
At least 90 of 6.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,584 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16.

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.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

If you need this functionality this plugin works, definitely better than the alternatives although could be a bit more intuitive

This plugin, along it’s 2 add-on plugins (time based, and user roles based visibility) deserves 5 stars, without any reservations on my behalf. That said, unlike the claims from the description text, the panel does not show up on the Reusable blocks pages. I used the Plugin Detective to see if a plugin is causing some sort of a conflict, but that was not the case apparently. Please sort out the issues with the Reusable blocks, so we can use these amazing features with them too. Thanks.
