Biggest opportunity: Swap “blocks”, “blog” and “contact form” for “lottie”, “hero” and “bio”. “blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “lottie” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “blog” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hero” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “contact form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bio” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400K of 48.2M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,578 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 14 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.

This plugin works well and is fully supported, but the amount of updates is excessive – 12 so far this year. This can make it more difficult to ensure our websites are kept up to date.

Feel free to call me bias. Not because I work for SiteOrigin but because SiteOrigin works for me. We have been using SiteOrigin premium since 2018 and we build EVERYTHING with it. Fanboy for the Widgets Bundle Too!
