Biggest opportunity: “blocks”, “gutenberg” and “page” 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.

Install conversion
How it's measured →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 90 of 4.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,579 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.
Removal-risk signals
45/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 | ||
| page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| reporting your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

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

It will be very useful to add a possibility to also perform a check the usage of some shortcodes in the pages
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Keryn2.7y ago
Works exactly as you’d expect! This saved me a lot of time. You’ll find it under “Pages” as a sub-menu item once installed.

This plugin works great, does exactly what I needed, and saved me a ton of time tracking down which of our innumerable landing pages were using an outdated template. I was initially nervous about the long time since last update, but everything was just fine. The View/Edit link right next to the list of pages for each template made switching templates so easy. Many thanks to the developer!

This plugin is awesome. It does exactly what it says it will do, and it does it very well. Makes it very easy to scan a site to see exactly what page template (custom or default) is being used on which pages. Even picks up templates introduced via third party plugins (that are included in the theme to be overridden). Great to use in any theme that is under active development or for sites that you have taken over.
