Visual Block Inspector

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I have often been annoyed that it is not immediately clear what kind of block I am dealing with. Well, I now often work in the document overview/list view, as this view is particularly detailed.But with this plugin, I can easily get an overview. It’s really useful, and I’m surprised that this functionality isn’t already available as standard in Gutenberg.There are other plugins that perform this task, but they usually mess up the whole layout.“Visual Block Inspector,” on the other hand, works discreetly and unobtrusively.
