Page Loader

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 · 86% 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.

   The plugin helped me a lot, but have something who can be upgraded, like more styles of loader animations and custom loader animations from gif’s and lotties.

   Works as expected with 5.3.2, even thought they say it isn’t tested…

   Simply install and activate. Works as is. The animated loaders are modern and stylish. The option to change the loader icon and background colours allows you to match your website’s colour scheme. The option page is very minimalistic which is very much a positive. Hopefully this plugin will be actively updated. New loader icons or the option to upload an svg would be a bonus.
