How it's measured →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 24.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
This plugin shipped 4 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| responsive image | #4 | #13 | 0 |
| enable | #5 | #14 | 0 |
| responsive your tag | #14 | #22 | down 1 |
| responsive images | #9 | #21 | up 2 |
| enable gutenberg | #9 | #21 | 0 |

22 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 16 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “responsive”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “block”, “gutenberg” and “image” 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.

Very convenient!

Working well, just what was needed. Thanks for making this! While I understand this functionality not being the core image block, it’s essential for any kind of professional site build so thank you very much for making it!

At last! I have waited a long time for this functionality to come to Gutenberg… As far as I know, this is the only plugin out there that will allow you to set different images for different screen sizes – all inside the block editor!! No more outside-the-editor workarounds needed to achieve this – Brilliant!!!By-the-way, this developer has created a whole “swiss army knife” range of additional plugins for Gutenberg: Flexible Spacer Block, Flexible Table Block and more. Well done, thank you, and keep up the great work, Very Best Wishes!!!!
