Algori PDF Viewer

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

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.

Crossed into this band 8 months ago; the previous band took 17 months to cross, which places it about 53% of the way through.

   The Lite version has all the features I needed and is simple to use; to display PDFs in my posts.

   It’s getting harder and harder to find a free pdf viewer plugin with simple download capabilities, but this one has it. Easy to use and effective. One thing I would like to see added is the ability to specify the alignment of the pdf viewer in the post.

   Free version you can set height and width from the block controls, and that’s it! Can’t even tell it to use 100% width, have to specify in pixels. Understand it has lots of controls for the user, but I need controls on how it displays, like initial zoom settings and definitely 100% width settings. Disappointed.

   I installed this alongside the free version of PDF Embedder. The alorgi PDF viewer is slower to load but provides all the functions you need – scroll, resize, print, download etc which are free.
