Biggest opportunity: Add “teams” to your wp.org tags. You rank #16 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 3.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,583 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.
