KineticHub – Animated Blocks

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.

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.

28 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 23 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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.

Crossed into this band 46 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 300.

   We used KineticHub on a new client site we recently built and the result speaks for itself. The animated Gutenberg blocks are smooth and tasteful — they give the site a genuinely modern, techy feel without ever tipping into gimmicky. Our client absolutely loves them. What impressed us most from a developer standpoint is that it’s done right: the code is clean, and there’s no measurable hit to page load speed or Google’s Core Web Vitals. That’s rare for an animation plugin, and it’s exactly what you want when you care about performance as much as presentation. Big thanks to the KineticHub team — highly recommended.

   Really nice plugin for adding animated sections to WordPress without using a full page builder. The blocks are easy to work with, the effects look modern, and everything feels well integrated with Gutenberg. The Typography, Hero Mesh, Marquee, and Video Modal blocks are especially useful for landing pages and client websites. Great start and looking forward to future updates.
