Biggest opportunity: Swap “gutenberg” for “patterns”. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “patterns” sits at #5 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 100K of 5.1M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 15 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “gutenberg” for “patterns”. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “patterns” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

J’aime beaucoup Neve, un thème qui permet de créer de très beaux sites, moi j’ai utilisé ” marketing agency ” qui correspondait à ce que je recherchais.

Après plusieurs essais de thèmes différents, je me suis arrêtée sur le thème Neve. Je l’ai installé pour mon site comme je l’imaginais ; cela a été facile, avec un peu d’aide du forum sur quelques détails : couleurs des boutons, etc. J’apprécie chaque jour les possibilités, même les plus simples, grâce à l’utilisation des blocs, widgets, css et html, mises en page et tous les outils pour enjoliver le rendu final. J’espère avoir plein de visites. Qu’en dites vous ?
