AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Block Weight Inspector is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by devmarvs — established developer track record

How Block Weight Inspector works
Block Weight Inspector adds a sidebar panel in the block editor that maps blocks in the current post/page to the CSS and JS assets they register. It estimates local asset sizes, highlights top offenders, and exports a JSON report. It can also generate a suggested conditional-loading snippet to help you dequeue assets when a block is not present.
It also adds a Tools -> Block Weight Inspector screen for auditing existing posts without opening the editor.
Note: The inspector preserves block comment delimiters when analyzing content so parse_blocks() remains accurate after sanitization.
Key features:
Block -> asset mapping using registered block metadata.
Estimated size for local assets.
Top offenders summary and full asset list.
JSON export for sharing or auditing.
Suggested conditional-loading rules (review before use).
