SleekView Charts for GenerateBlocks: block usage and page footprint
GenerateBlocks saves every block straight into wp_posts.post_content as markers parsed by the block API. SleekView Charts reads the parsed block list and builds a dashboard of total GenerateBlocks pages, top blocks used, author footprint, and edit cadence.

Read your GenerateBlocks usage as charts, not page lists
GenerateBlocks ships a small, performance-focused set of generateblocks/* blocks (generateblocks/container, generateblocks/grid, generateblocks/headline, generateblocks/button, generateblocks/button-container) that get saved straight into wp_posts.post_content as block markup. The default Pages screen lists titles, authors, and dates with zero awareness of which GenerateBlocks blocks each page uses, or how many pages depend on the plugin at all.
SleekView Charts calls parse_blocks() on post_content, extracts every generateblocks/* block name, and exposes them as a real column. A Number card pins the total pages that contain at least one GenerateBlocks block. A Donut splits usage across the five block types. A Bar ranks authors by GenerateBlocks pages built, and an Area card maps edit cadence using post_modified.
This is not a replacement for the block editor. GenerateBlocks still owns block rendering, the global styles system, and its pattern library. SleekView Charts adds the reporting surface GenerateBlocks never shipped: which blocks the site actually uses, how usage breaks down per author, and how active those pages stay, all from the same markup the editor already writes into the post.

Comparison
Default GenerateBlocks admin vs SleekView Charts
Default GenerateBlocks admin
- No built-in chart view, only a paginated Pages list with no block breakdown
- Count of pages using GenerateBlocks requires manual auditing or SQL
- Container vs grid vs headline usage mix is not summarised anywhere
- No time-series view of GenerateBlocks-page edits per week or per month
- Author workload and block ownership are invisible from the list view
SleekView Charts
- Number cards for total GenerateBlocks pages and unique blocks used
-
Pie or Donut cards splitting
generateblocks/*block names by count - Bar cards ranking authors or block types by pages built
-
Area or Line cards plotting edits per week from
post_modified - Same filters (type, author, status, block name) apply to every chart card
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for GenerateBlocks
Real block markup drives real charts
Charts pull from wp_posts.post_content parsed with the standard parse_blocks() API. SleekView exposes generateblocks/* block names as a real column, no exports, no shadow copy, no scraper.
Filters carry across cards
Set a block filter, a date range, or an author scope once and every chart card on the dashboard respects it. The audit table and the chart view share one saved configuration across the whole site.
Editorial pulse as a curve
Group by post_modified truncated to week to chart GenerateBlocks page edit activity over time. Quiet weeks, freeze periods, and campaign pushes become visible without manual log review.
Audience
Who builds GenerateBlocks dashboards with SleekView
Agencies
Client-facing block usage dashboards with total GenerateBlocks pages, top blocks in use, and edit cadence, refreshed on every visit without manual export.
Editorial teams
Pages-by-author and weekly edit volume on one screen so workload, block preferences, and handover risk are visible at a glance.
Site owners
A donut of block types plus a stale-pages count surfaces unused container patterns and housekeeping debt before redesign time.
The bigger picture
Why GenerateBlocks sites deserve a usage chart view
GenerateBlocks is the performance-focused block library from the makers of the GeneratePress theme, popular with agencies that prioritise frontend speed over decorative block libraries. The small block set (container, grid, headline, button) means most pages on a GenerateBlocks site are built from a handful of repeating primitives, and the long tail of which primitives are used where stays invisible from the WordPress admin. The data is already in post_content.
Every Gutenberg block is saved as serialised markup with a generateblocks/* block name, parseable by parse_blocks() on read. SleekView Charts parses that once, caches the block list per post, and lets the chart view answer the questions performance-minded teams actually ask. How many pages use GenerateBlocks at all.
Which container patterns are the workhorses. Which authors lean on which patterns. Where edit activity concentrates.
GenerateBlocks keeps owning the block library, the chart view finally gives the surrounding metadata a place where content leads, editors, and site owners can read it on demand.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for GenerateBlocks
Directly from wp_posts.post_content parsed with WordPress's parse_blocks() API. SleekView extracts the list of generateblocks/* block names found in each post and exposes that list as a real column, so chart cards can group by block name like any other field. No export, no shadow copy.
Yes. Group a Donut or Bar card by the parsed block name and SleekView ranks GenerateBlocks by how often they appear across the site. Filter further to a single block when an audit focuses on, for example, every page using generateblocks/container before a global styles update lands.
 
Group an Area or Line card by post_modified truncated to week or month, aggregated by Count, scoped to posts that carry generateblocks/* blocks. The curve shows when those pages are being touched, useful for tracking campaign cadence and stretches of zero activity.
Yes. View-level filters such as post type, author, status, date range, and parsed GenerateBlocks block name apply to every chart card on the dashboard. One saved configuration drives both the audit table and the chart view, so reporting and housekeeping stay aligned.
 
Yes. The expensive operation is calling parse_blocks() on every post_content. SleekView caches the parsed block name list per post so subsequent chart renders hit a lightweight indexed column instead of re-parsing the block markup, even on sites with tens of thousands of posts.
Yes. The parsed block column lists every block name found in post_content, core blocks and generateblocks/* blocks side by side. Filter to posts that contain both generateblocks/* and specific core blocks to map the overlap, useful before swapping a container for a core group.
Charts are read-only summaries by design. To act on a chart insight, switch to the audit table filtered to the same slice (for example, every page using a specific generateblocks/* block) and open the row in the block editor from there. Inline edits route through the standard WordPress update path.
 GenerateBlocks does not ship a reporting screen for block usage, so there is nothing to replace. SleekView Charts adds a reporting surface on top of the post_content markup GenerateBlocks already writes, so the plugin keeps owning the block library and the chart view owns the cross-site summarisation.
