Biggest opportunity: Add “tabs” to your wp.org tags. You rank #9 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 1 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 50.5K 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 2 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.

Flexible plugin with tabs on desktop and changes automatically to accordion on a specific breakpoint. Works perfectly with quick support.

I rejected several tabs plugins because they were unusable for keyboard-only users. This one worked great. Later I needed to make an accordion FAQs page, and it worked just as well. I love that I can use this one plugin for both types of functionality, and that it is easy to customize with CSS. Thanks!

I have tried many accordion plugins, I found this is the lightest and works well. Tab feature is also pretty good. I hope it always continues to be developed. Thank you to those who contributed.

Creating new tabs or accordions and switching between them is really easy, as is customizing the colors with CSS variables.
