LottieFiles

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 · 63% 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.

   I was using this plug-in for a year until I started looking into why I was getting low website speed scores. This plug-in is horribly bloated, wow! I had C and D scores on GTMetrix due to browser render-blocking due to heavy file sizes and JS. I replaced it with the Lottie Player from bPlugins and immediately got A. Replacing the plug-in brought the file size on an HTML page I used for comparison down from 2.3 MB to 190 KB. Make your own tests and decide for yourself or know that I already did it for you, and look elsewhere for a better plug-in.

   The plugin has not been updated for many months. I see the following error in the block editor (developer console), even if I don’t use the Lottie block: Uncaught (in promise) NotSupportedError: Failed to execute ‘define’ on ‘CustomElementRegistry’: the name “lottie-player” has already been used with this registry

   Added the block to my site and after I saved the page, it resulting in a critical error on the page. I removed the plugin and deleted the block from the page manually and it still would not load the page. Had to go find the revisions of the home page manually inside the database, delete those, and then my home page was accessible again. Sad because this has all the features I need, but doesn’t work reliably. This is not the first time I’ve run into critical errors with this plugin
