Image Slider

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 · 100% 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.

6 of the last 10 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   It was easy to use. But you put script inside HTML and before JQ loading. It’s bad think.

   Using the free version. Slider starts with Pic1 – waits the appropriate time -> slides to Pic2 – hold .5 sec -> slide to Pic3 – hold about .5sec then ->slide to Pic2 and hold for set time. I have tried different settings, different times, etc. While it is a slider and technically the images do slide…it causes way too much confusion in my audience. Uninstalled.
