Biggest opportunity: Swap “gutenberg block” for “wordpress testimonial”. “gutenberg block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress testimonial” sits at #10 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 700 of 30.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,579 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.

Funcionou perfeitamente, só adicionei dois testimonials por enquanto. Poderia ser melhor se houvesse também a opção de mostrar como grade ou como lista, mas para quem quer apenas o slider é perfeito.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Graham6.2y ago
I was looking for a testimonial plugin that enabled customers to add their own. While there are a few that do, not at $15 for a one-time fee. I installed the free version, which does give you that function, unlike others. Everything worked fine. So I bought the pro version straightaway, to get the extra customizations. A bit of fiddling with CSS in my child theme got things looking exactly how I wanted it. I see the plugin has been regularly updated, but not many have used it recently or left reviews. These sort of plugins that are tucked away and hard to find are worth their weight in gold. I hope the developer maintains support for a great little plugin.

Easy to setup and install and have used this on many sites however having faced issues with upgrading to the PRO version, the author took time out of his day to help resolve the issues I was facing and I could not ask for a better plugin or author. 100% Recommend! Thanks again!
