Biggest opportunity: Add “box” and “icon box” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5 and #11 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →7.8%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 25.8K 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.
This plugin shipped 3 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.

The block is easy to insert and set the contents of. I am using it to programmatically generate a grid of flip boxes for a list of custom posts. Thanks, Tomoki!
