Biggest opportunity: “blocks”, “gutenberg” and “responsive” 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 →1.5%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 2.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| blocks your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gutenberg your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

After years, I finally switched to the Gutenberg editor, and this plugin turned out to be the best for responsive design. It’s fast, easy to use, and completely ad-free 🙂 Now it’s a must-have in all my projects.Thank you!

You can create any design using “Mindspun Responsive Blocks.” There are numerous options available, and you can easily manage all the designs for mobile and iPad views as well.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ AhsanParwez2.6y ago
I recently remade my personal site and decided to make it completely using Gutenberg rather than any premium theme or page builder. The default Gutenberg blocks are a little lacking in terms of design options that are available, and it takes time to quickly customize them. The Responsive Blocks added by this plugin are better and more helpful; the buttons and headings are quicker to style and use.
