Biggest opportunity: Swap “customer reviews”, “star ratings” and “testimonials” for “testimonial grid”, “responsive testimonial” and “star rating”. “customer reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “testimonial grid” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “star ratings” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “responsive testimonial” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “testimonials” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “star rating” sits at #15 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 →8.4%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 11.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
