Biggest opportunity: Swap “animation page” for “cook”. “animation page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cook” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 80 of 11.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| cook | #21 | #10 | down 1 |
| animation page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| infinite scroll your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| navigation page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| screen reader your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| scrolling your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “animation page” for “cook”. “animation page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cook” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

This is great plugin, How can I do specific page for scroll? Like I want to auto scroll only home page, How can I do that?
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ikihinojosa4.1y ago
I believe it is an excellent idea for a plugin… After searching a lot, I find out it is the only one that does this… Great! and thanks so much for it!! But… I would like to ask a couple of requests if possible… The minimum speed (1), is still quite fast for average readers… Will it be possible to have .5 speed… Even .3? Another request, will be: Is it possible to have no “rescroll delay” option? this, to let the scrolling keep going down in a nice and smooth way till the end of the page. (I’m thinking that I would like to use your plugin (besides reading) to make a demo page effect… a tour through the long page per se…) And the last request… (Im asking to much, I know, but that will make it a super plugin). The last request will be, to be able to select in which pages will the plugin be active or not there are very short pages, and others very long… It will be nice to have a white or black list. Thanks for it any way, is great!!! I hope you can make those changes…

This is excellent for what it does, but its missing 1 feature. How about Auto Return to Top? That would make this a beyond perfect plugin if it just had that 1 feature. EDIT! This feature has been successfully added! You creators are AWESOME! Thanks for listening. This topic was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by Jae Nichols. Reason: They added the feature!

This is very original good working plugin. If you want to start your website slowly scrolling down automatically, this plugin is the best choice. You can modify scroll speed and if you like, you can stop halfway (timer) and sroll again etc.
