Post Slider and Post Carousel with Post Vertical Scrolling Widget – A Responsive Post Slider

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 · 68% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   One of the few sliders that doesn’t slow down my homepage. Optimized CSS and JS delivery makes a big difference.

   Great little slider plugin and absolute stellar support. I needed a custom CSS class to place the slider in a certain spot on the page and tech support sorted the problem beautifully. Five stars!

   I had an issue with the carousel shortcodes due to the new WordPress update. The support team wrote fast responses and was quite helpful in solving the issue. This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by ichaloupka.

   I’ll start by saying this is a great plugin and I hope to be able to buy the pro version soon. But it’ll need Webp support first. My website uses Webp and falls back to Jpg if Webp isn’t usable on the browser. This plugin loads a blank image (white space) where the loaded image should be. Other than that, great plugin. I’ll be searching the code to see if I can find the fix.
