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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Simple and easy, it has the basics to meet, and you can upload your own animation, excellent, thank you very much.

Some nice animations. Breaks site display rules. After that is fixed, an improvement would be animation previews in the admin area.

When it’s done loading my pages, why does it turn every H1 headers to black? A few animations only work full screen. The other animations are contained only on headers and is showing the rest of the content on my page while loading.
