How it's measured →1.7%
of downloads still active
At least 90 of 5.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| minecraft your tag | #1 | #2 | 0 |
| minecraft server | #1 | #2 | 0 |
| server status | #4 | #16 | down 2 |
| server your tag | #24 | #24 | 0 |
| online status | #24 | #24 | down 3 |
| gutenberg your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
12 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 7 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Already on top for “minecraft server”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
