Float menu – awesome floating side menu

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 65% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   PopUp Box plugin – Working just as expected, easy, quick. Nice work! Maybe time countdown would be a nice feature in some next version. This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by Wiktor.

   Just a floating button on the side. Customizing is blocked. More styling is made available in different Plugins the same way. Very tricky Plugin(S). Wow-Company – be careful!
