Biggest opportunity: “block visibility”, “blocks” and “conditional blocks” 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 →5.6%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 10.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,579 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.

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 visibility your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| blocks your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| conditional blocks your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| conditions your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

I’ve found this plugin to be really easy to use and works really well. It does exactly what you expect and the interface is simple. The developer is really responsive and provides great support.

I had a problem, the support was fast and effective, with a demo site I was able to quickly locate my problem without having to test from my website and deactivate all my plugins to see the problem. I hope the author can add the validation functionality by means of GEO, Referer, UserAgent, Devices, etc… This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by Lenin Zapata.

Compared to other plugins which allow you to control block visibility, Wicked Block Conditions is more powerful and allows you to create quite complex conditions. Nevertheless, the UI is simple and compact. If you are looking for a plugin in this category, give this one a try (although it does not have too many active installs currently).

Conditional block visibility seems like something that should be built into WordPress, but it’s not. This plugin solves that missing feature in a simple to use and flexible way.
