Biggest opportunity: Swap “navigation” for “edit page”. “navigation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “edit page” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.3%
of downloads still active
At least 100K of 1.9M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 1 release 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.

At first I thought all the options were a bit daunting, but now I realise how essential a lot of them are when scrolling to anchor links. The author is very quick to respond when you flag a potential issue, which is excellent.

I’ve been using this plugin on multiple projects: always easy, always reliable.Overtime tested with multiple themes both with Gutenberg and Page Builder.Very useful the Offset function: it helps a lot with fixed headers!Thank you very much @malihu!

Was struggling to build TOC hyperlinks with smooth scrolling. This plugin immediately fixed that. Nice job. (Updated and edited review) After releasing my hyperlinks was scrolling past the content that it was meant to be scrolled to; I did extensive research. I searched all over Google trying to add HTML code to add to my anchor link’s to try to set the correct offset; not releasing this fantastic plugin allows for offsetting options to the correct position. The TOC plugin is great for other pages of my website, but for my landing page I want beautiful modified buttons; that’s where [Page scroll to id] comes in. I am delighted with this plugin. Rock solid, thank you to the developer. This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by Tony Fitzpatrick80. Reason: Better than first anticipated
