Animations for Blocks

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 · 88% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Does anybody knows why Duration does not work? I set 2 seconds or 3 seconds duration of animation and it does not apply. It always fade with the same quick time

   Makes animating your block content super easy. Love it! Support queries are answered fantastically quick, so that’s another big plus point.

   Love this plugin that brought my static website to life. With these cool, easy-to-configure animations, I can now compete with the big boys.

   Great small animation Plugin.I discovered this via the Generate Press FB group and I am glad I did.Very straightforward to use, and integrates well with GenerateBlocks. I would love to see the ability to set duration and delay by directly typing in, rather than a slider, but not really a negative. 5 Stars all the way.
