Biggest opportunity: “effect” and “filter” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →3.3%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 15.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Search plugin keeps 0.7%, across 645 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Search plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| nice | #1 | #5 | 0 |
| transition your tag | #2 | #10 | 0 |
| page transition | #2 | #12 | 0 |
| css3 transition | #1 | #4 | 0 |
| blur your tag | #7 | #18 | down 2 |
| css3 your tag | #24 | #23 | down 3 |
| blur effect | #16 | #21 | down 1 |
| effect your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| filter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
13 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “effect” and “filter” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “nice”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 600.

Simple y funciona
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ lilybennett2.3y ago
The transition effects are visually impressive, but unfortunately, the plugin significantly affects Google PageSpeed results, making it unusable for performance-focused projects. If the performance issues are addressed, this would be an excellent addition to any site. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by lilybennett. Reason: Discovered Poor Performance

Adds something different and special to a website.

Easy to install and use: simply install and on setting choose preferences. There is no many plugin for manage page transition when a link is clicked and, other plugin I tested never fully work for me, this one works! Settings are very basic but the plugin is really great so 5 starts hoping the plugin will still maintained updated and for long time! Suggested!

Easy to use plug-in, but it can use a nicer graphical user interface and more settings, such as the transition speed. Moreover, the transition effect applies to every clickable link that is possible, even the admin bar and sizable images when you click it, making it unusable. I will visit this review again when it is updated.
