Slider vs Responsive Image Maps

Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Active-install trajectory

Slider moved down one install band, 40+ to 30+; Responsive Image Maps moved down one install band, 4K+ to 3K+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.
