48 Quality Score
Active Installs
16/30

With 4,000 active installs, this is a niche utility plugin with modest reach, though it punches above its weight in its specific category.

Update Freshness
2/25

Last updated November 2024 and tested against WordPress 6.7.5, the plugin is reasonably current, though the PHP 7.4 requirement is starting to age.

User Rating
14/15

A 96 out of 100 from 52 reviewers indicates strong user satisfaction from a small but engaged audience.

Support Health
8/15

Zero support threads opened suggests either very few users encounter issues or that problems go unresolved, which is hard to interpret confidently in either direction.

WP Compatibility
8/15

The plugin requires WordPress 5.0 and PHP 7.4, which covers most modern installs but does not enforce the newer PHP 8.x standards increasingly recommended.

What It Does

Find My Blocks scans your WordPress database and lists every Gutenberg block instance used across posts, pages, and custom post types. It gives administrators a centralized inventory of where each block appears, which is useful when auditing block usage before a redesign or migration. It does not modify content; it only reports.

Who It's For

This plugin suits agencies, content auditors, and site managers who need to inventory block usage across a large or multi-author WordPress site before a redesign, migration, or content cleanup. It is particularly handy for governance workflows where someone needs to confirm which legacy blocks are still in use before deprecating them.

Who Should Skip It

If you run a small personal blog with only a handful of pages, or if you already use a block library plugin that shows usage stats, you do not need this tool. Developers who are comfortable running direct database queries on wp_posts will also find limited value.

The Bottom Line

Find My Blocks does one narrow job and does it well, earning a 96% user rating despite a low overall quality score of 51.05 driven mainly by its small install base and limited support footprint. It is a useful utility for block inventory work but not a plugin most sites need installed permanently. Treat it as a temporary audit tool that you activate, run, and deactivate once your inventory project is done.
