Full Screen Background

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 · 95% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   We consider the pro version, but first we wanted to test with the free version. We had some pre-sale questions and they were answered in a fingersnap. We recommend this plugin. Thanks Rajiv!

   Initially the plugin didn’t work in my wordpress environment. You made it working by recommending another theme. I then changed to Astra Them, and everything worked fine since then. A nice plug-in to work with

   Perfect for my purposes, exactly what I was looking for. It’s the first plugin I’ve bought and I couldn’t have spent the money better. Above all, really great support. (i asked if it was possible to delay the start of the background video and the developer found a customized solution. I didn’t expect that, really great.)

   After spending a lot of time looking and trying to get a full background for free i gave up and used Full Screen Background premium. I wish i had done this from the beginning. Easy to install and easier to use. I had some questions and Support responded quickly and to my satisfaction 🙂Thank you so much. Keep up the good work!
