GutenBee – Gutenberg Blocks

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 60% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   It’s rare to find a series of blocks that has no impact on page loading speed – a timer was used to confirm this. The blocks are of excellent quality. From creating beautiful galleries, tabs, various icon methods, and media blocks. The settings are practical and comprehensive – meaning you can have it good out of the box and fine tune to your desires. I love how you can select which blocks to load into your block library; using only what you want to use. This shows great care of detail and keeping things tidy. I had a gallery issue that was 100% an issue on my end – support graciously looked it over and came forward with many quality suggestions and diagnostics. GutenBee comes highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

   I especially like the gallery block. Now trying to figure out how it could fit the viewport in the background. That would make it perfect.

   I don’t use Gutenberg often (just for blog posts), but this plugin makes it extremely easy to add some extra features that Gutenberg lacks. Kepe up the great work!

   I was browsing for a justified gallery to replace meow gallery who stopped working on my site and came accross this set of blocks. Only used the gallery, and I really like it only con, no easy way to turn a regular gallery block into a gutenbee Gallery. I need to recreate all of them. Maybe is this feature on the road map ?

   Google Maps Block is useless without links. You could only see the map, but you could not click any where to jump to Google map and use the location for direction and navigation. This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by kolovitit.

   Super light and clean blocks. Specially I do like the Viewport Visibility option for each block. I can’t find one thing… how to make Banner full width?

   Very clear and to the point add on having elements to help UI design in a simple way without any non needed or rear needed features. Congrats and keep coding! Cheers.
