Biggest opportunity: Swap “block” for “top”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “top” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 15.2K 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 1 release 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.

Thank you for your plugin I was looking for a simple solution with a block
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ noviacc2.2y ago
Finally a proper back to top button with a nice animation effect which is smooth and not so distracting. Love the fact that due to its vesatility you can actually control where to show it and where not!
