SleekView Charts for Spectra: block usage and page footprint

Spectra 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 Spectra pages, top blocks used, author footprint, and edit cadence.

SleekView Charts dashboard for Spectra (Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg)

Read your Spectra block usage as charts, not page lists

Spectra (formerly Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg) ships a large library of uagb/* blocks (uagb/info-box, uagb/post-grid, uagb/forms, uagb/icon-list, uagb/container, and dozens more) that get saved straight into wp_posts.post_content as block markup. The WordPress block parser exposes that markup as structured data on read, but the default Pages screen shows titles, authors, and dates with zero awareness of which Spectra blocks each page uses.

SleekView Charts uses parse_blocks() on post_content to extract the list of uagb/* block names per post and exposes them as a real column. A Number card pins the total pages that contain at least one Spectra block. A Donut splits usage across the top Spectra block types. A Bar ranks authors by Spectra pages built, and an Area card maps edit cadence using post_modified.

This is not a replacement for the block editor. Spectra still owns block rendering, the settings sidebar, and its dynamic blocks. SleekView Charts adds the reporting surface Spectra never shipped: which Spectra blocks the site actually relies on, how usage breaks down per author, and how active those pages stay, all from the same block markup the editor already writes into the post.

Workflow

From parsed uagb/* blocks to a Spectra dashboard

1

Point SleekView at parsed blocks

Add a SleekView data source for wp_posts with the block-parser column enabled. SleekView calls parse_blocks() on post_content and exposes the list of uagb/* block names found on each post as a real column.
2

Switch the view to Charts

Flip the view from Table to Charts. SleekView opens a blank dashboard ready for chart cards built on the parsed Spectra block column, plus post type, status, author, and modified date.
3

Add chart cards

Drop a Number card for total Spectra pages, a Donut for the top uagb/* block types, a Bar for authors ranked by Spectra pages built, and an Area card for edit cadence on those pages.
4

Save and share

Name the view ("Spectra usage audit", "Block debt review") and gate access by WordPress capability so agency leads, editors, and clients each see the cards that matter to their role.

Sample dashboard

Charts you can build from Spectra block data

Four cards that turn parsed uagb/* block markup into a working Spectra usage dashboard inside WordPress.
Number · Default

Total Spectra pages

A single big-number KPI counting posts whose post_content contains at least one uagb/* block marker, scoped to published status across pages, posts, and CPTs.
Count
Pie · Donut

Top Spectra blocks used

A donut split across the top Spectra blocks (uagb/info-box, uagb/post-grid, uagb/forms, uagb/icon-list) parsed from post_content with the block parser column.
Count group by block_name
Bar · Default

Pages by author

A vertical bar ranking WordPress users by the number of Spectra-bearing pages they own, resolved against wp_users so handover and workload audits become trivial.
Count group by post_author
Area · Gradient

Edits per week

A gradient area chart of edits per week on Spectra-bearing posts, sourced from post_modified on the rows in wp_posts that carry uagb/* block markers.
Count group by post_modified

Comparison

Default Spectra admin vs SleekView Charts

Default Spectra admin

  • No built-in chart view, only a paginated Pages list with no block breakdown
  • Count of pages using Spectra blocks requires manual auditing or SQL
  • Block type mix (which uagb/* blocks are popular) is not summarised anywhere
  • No time-series view of Spectra-page edits per week or per month
  • Author workload and block ownership are invisible from the list view

SleekView Charts

  • Number cards for total Spectra pages and total unique uagb/* blocks used
  • Pie or Donut cards splitting the top uagb/* 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 Spectra (Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg)

Real block markup drives real charts

Charts pull from wp_posts.post_content parsed with the standard parse_blocks() API. SleekView exposes block names as a real column, no exports, no shadow copy, no third-party scraper required.

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 Spectra page edit activity over time. Quiet weeks, freeze periods, and campaign pushes become visible without manual log review.

Audience

Who builds Spectra chart dashboards with SleekView

Agencies

Client-facing block usage dashboards with total Spectra 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 Spectra block types plus a stale-pages count surfaces unused blocks and housekeeping debt before redesign time.

The bigger picture

Why Spectra sites deserve a block chart view

Spectra is one of the biggest block libraries in the Gutenberg ecosystem, with active installs in the hundreds of thousands. On a content-heavy site, a single landing page can carry six or seven different uagb/* blocks, and across hundreds of pages the long tail of which blocks 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 uagb/* 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 editors actually ask. How many pages use Spectra at all.

Which blocks are the workhorses. Which authors lean on which blocks. Where edit activity concentrates.

Spectra keeps owning the block library and the editor, the chart view finally gives the underlying block usage a place where content leads, editors, and site owners can read it on demand.

Questions

Common questions about SleekView Charts for Spectra (Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg)

Directly from wp_posts.post_content parsed with WordPress's parse_blocks() API. SleekView extracts the list of uagb/* 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 Spectra blocks by how often they appear across the site. Filter further to a single block when an audit focuses on, for example, every page using uagb/post-grid before a query argument changes in a Spectra update.

 

Group an Area or Line card by post_modified truncated to week or month, aggregated by Count, scoped to posts that carry uagb/* blocks. The curve shows when those pages are being touched, useful for tracking campaign cadence and stretches of zero activity that mark stale content.

 

Yes. View-level filters such as post type, author, status, date range, and parsed Spectra 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 uagb/* blocks side by side. Filter to posts that contain both uagb/* and specific core blocks to map the overlap, useful before swapping a Spectra block for a core equivalent.

 

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 uagb/* block) and open the row in the block editor from there. Inline edits route through the standard WordPress update path as usual.

 

Spectra 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 Spectra already writes, so the plugin keeps owning the block library and the chart view owns the cross-site summarisation.
