MouseWheel Smooth Scroll

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 · 79% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Love the plugin. I really like the lerp on lenis option but it is quite annoying that the mousescroll does not work when inside the oxygen builder editor. I have to use the scrollbar because it doesnt work inside or have to disable the plugin while working. Hope you can fix this too. For now I am using gblazek one.

   This plugin works awesome. And the wide range of settings is very cool!What a pity that it does not work in FF. FF is a very important browser in germany. :/Perhaps you’ll find a solution for this issue… …

   The scrolling effect on Chrome is perfect. Too bad it doesn’t work on other browsers, especially Firefox and Safari (Divi theme used). I’m hoping for some updates!
