Biggest opportunity: Swap “blocks” for “tabs content”. “blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tabs content” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →6.1%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 6.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,577 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.

None of the links on the developer website are active. So communication is not available.

Basically an important block, but useless because, you can only put in text blocks.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ nzalmeida4.9y ago
It works great but only if you only use of set of Tabs in one page. If you wont 2 or more, it puts new tabs on first set.
