Simple Slider Block – Create Sliders From Core Blocks

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. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 700+ in roughly 195 days.

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.

   Very simple and useful solution. Being able to use normal blocks within a slide makes it really versatile. Great support for individual help and quick response to bug reports. This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by lepete. This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by lepete.

   Gutenberg support is a definite advantage; I installed it even when it wasn’t updated

   The plugin gives you the freedom to design your own sliders. You can add the entire core block as a slider element. This topic was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by Kadim Gültekin.
