Biggest opportunity: Swap “block”, “carousel slider” and “image carousel” for “content slider”, “slides” and “bring”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “content slider” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “carousel slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “slides” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image carousel” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bring” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.7%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 80.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,578 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks 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 4 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.

Is it possible that the entire React is being loaded on the frontend just for this one block to work on the frontend?
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Tobin Fekkes4.4y ago
Handles a lot of intro needs quite well. Being able to drag-drop slides to place them in order would be huge. It would prevent the need to remove and re-create two slides just to move their position. Also, being able to add a video URL as a slide source would be a game-changer as well. Both those would make it a no-brainer for the $10 paid version.

I tried to upgrade to the Pro version and was charged twice. The button link did not work. The contact form on the website does not work. Terrible experience. Do not recommend it.

very simple very effective please keep updating it Best Regards

A recommendable plugin with useful features and very good usability. To be able to use it, however, I am missing two important features: The content block (headline, description, button) usually needs a background color (with variable transparency and variable padding), if the photo behind it in the slider is too bumpy to read the text. And in my opinion a plugin must take into account the defaults for the color selection, in my case always specified via the functions.php (theme support for custom color palette). This is the only way to ensure that only the required colors are available (applies to text, background and button). Martin
