Biggest opportunity: “block” and “modal” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →6.5%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 15.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,581 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 4 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.

Hi Great plugin thank you 🙂

Very EASY to use, LIGHTWEIGHT, and ELEGANT. What else would you ask of the developer? Support? It has it, and it’s better than many paid plugins.

Good support from the plugin author!

Works great. Needs a little more detailed docs for adding popup on clicks but still 5/5
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ noviacc2.2y ago
I have been using various popup plugins for years now but this one is so easy to use and so versatile that it might be usefull to a whole bunch of users. Also finally having a proper Tooltip option is a huge advantage 😀

Utilizing blocks at their best. I love the unopinionated approach; it makes customization a breeze in countless possible ways. Great out-of-the-box functionality for less savvy developers, with lots of useful options and interactions. Special kudos for the different layouts (floating, fixed, attached) and modality features (modal, modeless). Looking forward to new development features like JS and PHP hooks.
