low volume, under 1,000 downloads a month
Biggest opportunity: “block”, “content” 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.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 12.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,582 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| block your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| content your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| post your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shortcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Poor descrpiption of how to use it
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Larry White11.2y ago
I installed this and it worked within seconds. I expect to use it a lot, but unfortunately I can’t seem to pass parameters as part of the URL or I’m unable to figure out how to do so from the documentation. Parameters such as [thisismyurl_get_html http://example.org/MyPage.asp?a=3&b=2%5D What I see is the MyPage.asp output as if I had no parameters. I’m seeing the latest version of MyPage (nothing is getting cached) but its as if there were no parameters passed.

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for providing this to the community! 🙂
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Kari12.3y ago
It works well, but for some reason all the links withn the page are trunked to the new url, so that http://www.old.com/content becomes http://www.new.com/content But it works!

Doesn’t work. Tag instructions don’t even have a closed bracket.
