Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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

Est. acquisition value

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.

    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?

    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.
