AnimateGL Animations for WordPress – Elementor & Gutenberg Blocks Animations

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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.

7 of the last 19 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 6 of those landed between 2023-03-23 and 2023-04-04.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   This is only free plugin of its kind. Please keep improving this whenever you have time. Thank you for providing animation in the hands of those who cannot afford to have premium solutions.

   De nombreux effets super et originaux, ce plugin est en plus très facile a utilisé, en compatible avec élémentor. De plus, le développeur est très réactif et à l’écoute. Je recommande vivement ce plugin pour des effets Wouhaou!

   It’s really easy to set up and use. Very user-friendly support. I also notice that, especially WebGL effects, they are amazing and also have Lock to scrollbar. I strongly advise you to use that plugin.

   Promising animation plugin. I just don’t know about being the most advanced. The available effects are fairly standards, and you have to configure the presents. Custom effect per block is not possible. Also, when I add the plugin’s special css class to a block, the block disappears from the editor view. Although animation runs on the front end, you want to be able to see the static version of the block in the editor for layout purposes. Update: the author responded and addressed my issues. I got the plugin working as expected. Awesome. Another update: been using this plugin for a couple projects and I like the animation effects and easy to use interface. Recently I found some issue with some HTML code the plugin injects in my template code causing display issues. I’ve posted a support request about it.

   A very excellent plugin for adding more advanced animations that cannot be done with CSS. The plugin is very easy to use because it supports Gutenberg and Elementor, currently the two largest WordPress page editors. The animations in the plugin are very elegant and pleasant to see on web pages.
