Biggest opportunity: Swap “animation” and “block” for “numbers” and “accessibility ready”. “animation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “numbers” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “accessibility ready” sits at #24 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 2K of 20.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “animation” and “block” for “numbers” and “accessibility ready”. “animation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “numbers” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “accessibility ready” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Juste la fonction qu’il faut, on peut ensuite placer son bloc animé comme on le désire. This topic was modified 5 months ago by domguard.

I’m a picky dev when it comes to plugins and this block just has exactly what you need and nothing more. No bloat, no promotional banners all over. Just a well crafted block for animating counts of numbers. Thank you!

Best of the available options, thanks!

The developer was very responsive and helpful when I didn’t understand how to style it (using the block inspector settings). Thanks! This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by vob522611.

After testing a few different number counter block plugins, I found this one and haven’t looked back. It does exactly what is say on the tin, but also doesn’t over complicate things with trying to do everything and just sticks to being a great plugin. Highly recommend. If I could give 6*’s, I would!

This plugin did almost everything I needed, super happy with it. And then the following day, it did everything I wanted as Phi had updated it to include my idea. I definitely appreciate when developers listen and respond, you are awesome Phi!

Works as expected, also animates on scroll, great! Would be helpful to have some active class on block while animating. This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by Webprom Design.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Xaifu3.5y ago
Me ha gustado mucho, es sencillo, no genera pantallas internas de publicidad o de comprar la versión premium y hace justo lo que se necesita: animar números.Si además quieres complementarlo con algún icono tendrás que usar otros bloques para ello, he visto que el mismo autor tiene un bloque para añadir imágenes svg que seguramente combinara a la perfección con este.
