Jellyfish Counter Widget

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

Crossed into this band 2.5 years ago; the previous band took 23 months to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   The plugin hasn’t been updated in two years, but haven’t experienced any issues and it looks like the developer is actively responding to forum. Works really well and is very useful if creating a counter with unique variables! Haven’t found any other plugin that does this yet. Hope the developer will continue to support this again. Many thanks for its creation. This topic was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by offpeakdesign.

   Counter zählt nicht richtig, muss immer nachgestellt werden. Leider keine Redaktion vom Support, aber Spenden wollen sie haben für dieses schlechte Programm. Nicht zu empfehlen.

   Don’t get me wrong: this is the perfect counter! Good documentation and a really dedicated Developer. If you use it, consider a donation, since there really is nothing like it out there. So why the 4 stars? The one issue I am having is the non-responsiveness of the counter size. The only possibility I see to prevent negative impacts on your SEO is to have it hidden on mobile, for example with the “.hidden-xs” css class. Other then that, maybe a little optimisation on performance with JS and CSS.

   Thanks a lot for this awesome plugin. I wanted a counter counting down towards a specific date. Achived that with shortcode: [jellyfish_counter digits=2 digit_height=90 digit_width=73 digit_padding=1 start=5 end=0 direction="down" digit_style="font-family:Arial,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-weight: 700; padding-top:2px; font-size:72px; background:#efefef; color:black;" timestamp="2015-01-08 12:00:00" interval=86400 ] + some cosmetics modifications to the shadows in the plugins css If you modify hack a bit of CSS on your own, you can get it looking exactly like you wish. I for instance wanted black letters on white’ish background and achived that in 20 mins. Dev you might consider cooking option for standard black on white’ish look into the plugin.

   This is great plugin however the way JS and CSS is mangled together prevent you from moving JS in to the footer. I have 6 of them on the same page that means the same JS running 6 times. If I move JS to the footer counter wont show up at all because it needs that JS loaded to pull in css for rendering the counter. I guess by separating the JS and CSS this could be a 5 star.
