Biggest opportunity: “block”, “blocks” and “editor” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 6K of 238.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,579 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

| blocks your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Edgar Pfandler2.9y ago
As a professional web designer, I naturally work with a complex pro editor that leaves nothing to be desired. On the other hand, such complex editors for smaller subpages that a customer should be able to edit themselves are too difficult for them to use. I therefore use the Gutenberg editor for such cases, but in many respects it offers me far too few setting options. This plugin is a very good extension to avoid having to solve everything via CSS classes and should actually be directly in the core of Gutenberg! But many thanks to Munir Kamal for this really well done extension.
