a3 Responsive Slider

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Older reviewers called it a genuinely responsive, easy slider, but the newest ones say it renders as a blank widget, offers too little beyond basic image display, and that support and refund requests go unanswered.

   We have purchased this plugin almost 2 weeks ago because Steve Truman assurs on his website 24 hour support and refund with “no-questions” asked. We have purchased the plugin installed it and all it shows is a white widget. After working on all available options for hours this does not change. Support-Request: No response Some more additional hours the same result. We even installed it on a different server…. -a nice but very white widget. Refund-Request: No response This was almost 2 weeks ago…. -money paid, product not working, no support, no money back…. a total ripoff.

   I have tried few sliders but those were not actually responsive. This is actually responsive and works great on small screens.

   A great and easy to use responsive slider with excellent support. I tried lots before I found this one but this just does everything you need and looks great on all devices. Very friendly support should you need it too!
