AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Block Weight Inspector is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Performance category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 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.

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).
