Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor addon”, “image slider” and “elementor slider” for “post slider elementor”, “ring designer” and “slider elementor”. “elementor addon” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “post slider elementor” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image slider” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “ring designer” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor slider” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “slider elementor” sits at #9 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 100K of 6.7M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,272 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 50 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “elementor addon”, “image slider” and “elementor slider” for “post slider elementor”, “ring designer” and “slider elementor”. “elementor addon” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “post slider elementor” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image slider” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “ring designer” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor slider” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “slider elementor” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “elementor addon”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-18, now #23. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- Slipping on “image slider”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-18, now #13. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “elementor slider”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Parabéns aos desenvolvedores. Ótimas soluções de sliders com um visual incrível.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Ray McGuire10mo ago
I’ve tried many plugins and this one was the best I’ve found so far. The price for it was great as well. I paid for the Pro version as I wanted the extra sliders and abilities and I wasn’t disappointed!! Their technical support via chat was amazing and very timely. I would highly recommend this plugin!!

You nagged me so often and for so long that I’ll finally give you a review. It sucks, the only reason these poorly designed and ugly plugin is still on our site is the devs who put it there refuse to remove it. Every time I open a page this plugin nags me to make a review, finally i decided it was time to leave one.Please for the love of God, don’t install this plugin.

This plugin adds an ad (summer sales) in all WP dashboard pages that can be removed if the Memcached (SG Speed Optimizer) is active. Even if I close the ad, it appears on the next page or when I refresh the page, again and again. It is very annoying. Update: The support team fixed the issue quickly. I edited my rating (to a more positive one) because they were very responsive in dealing and fixing the issue. This topic was modified 11 months ago by psychonet.

The slider works great on mobile as well as desktop version. cool features round up a great plugin, will continue using it.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ keenwayllc1.3y ago
I’ve tested a lot of slider plugins and Prime Slider honestly impressed me. It’s clean, smooth, and doesn’t weigh my site down like some of the others. Even the free version gave me more than I expected – layouts, customization, and integration with Elementor felt super intuitive. It also looks great across devices, which is big for me since I’m building a modern front end for a production supply company. The typography control and responsiveness were chef’s kiss. 😎 Didn’t run into bugs, and the support documentation helped me tweak what I needed. Solid work – hats off to the dev team.
