Biggest opportunity: Swap “gutenberg block”, “navigation” and “index” for “contents”, “onboarding” and “table”. “gutenberg block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “contents” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “navigation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “onboarding” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “index” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “table” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →4.6%
of downloads still active
At least 7K of 153.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,586 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 6 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.

I installed the plugin “Easy Table of Contents”, added their shortcode, and it worked immediately. Then I installed the plugin “Joli Table Of Contents”, filled out their settings page, added their shortcode… nothing. After 20 minutes of tweaking settings and trying to find the cause, still nothing shows up. I just wasted 20 minutes of my life for nothing, on something very basic in WordPress (processing a shortcode). I’m not giving 0 stars because this plugin seems to work for most people, but it’s not normal for a plugin to just not work and make users lose time.

This plugin is full of features and works really well out of the box. When I spotted an error and submitted a ticket, the dev responded within 24 hours, got it fixed within 72 hours, and scheduled an update for 2 weeks. Great experience so far.

Plugin works as expected – one of the better options for floating TOC. The support was great when I needed help migrating from old TOC plugin.
