Layout Grid Block

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 · 100% 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.

   Great block that allows placing and resizing blocks in a more flexible way than the regular columns block. I hope it is continually supported.

   Test your site with this plugin and without it, on lighthouse. it costs between like 5-6 points, on mobile!!!!! It loads 45K of unused classes!!!!!!! 45K gzipped, and 186unzipped. No idea how come a company like Automattic can release a feature so funfumental, written so bad like that. This topic was modified 2 years, 12 months ago by neoswf.

   The is a more flexible replacement for the standard columns block. If you’ve ever battled with the standard columns to make multi-column components that adapted at mobile, tablet and desktop then I would definitely recommend this block.

   Already working really well. It’s clean and solid and intuitive. I’m working with it with the Kadence theme and it’s excellent. Hope to see this in Gutenberg core soon!
