Redux Framework

Most reviewers are happy with Redux Framework's flexibility, though a few flag slow onboarding, translation gaps after recent WordPress updates, and past performance headaches.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

332 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 300 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 73% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 5 months ago and the previous band took 5.2 years to cross, so the real count is still just under 1M.

   Used it in a few projects, and it works well overall. Lots of options and pretty flexible. Setup took a bit of time at first, but once you get it, things become easy. tnx devs for the work.

   Hi Redux Framework team,I’m using Redux Framework for my theme (Liberty), but I’m really frustrated with its translation support, especially after WordPress 6.7 and later updates (I’m on 6.8). My theme’s primary text domain is liberty, but for Redux settings, I’ve used a separate text domain (liberty-settings) to avoid conflicts and gain more flexibility. However, Redux fails to apply translations for its sections and fields (e.g., “General Settings” or a test string in $args[‘footer_credit’]), even though the strings are translated in the liberty-settings-fa_IR.po file. This inconsistency between WordPress’s translation system (which works fine for my theme’s liberty text domain) and Redux’s handling is a major drawback. The _load_textdomain_just_in_time error introduced since WordPress 6.7 only makes it worse. I’ve posted a detailed explanation in the support forum—hoping for a fix! Please prioritize improving Redux’s translation compatibility in future updates. Thanks!

   The theme is so great. I love these guys at Redux Framework, their eye is not on making money because most advanced features which are usually available on premium themes, Listingpro made them available for free.

   I have been using the Redux Framework as it was recommended for the Travelista theme on my WordPress site. However, my experience with this framework has been far from satisfactory due to its significant impact on site performance. Performance Issues: Unfortunately, the benefits of using Redux are heavily outweighed by the severe performance issues it has caused. Since installing Redux, I’ve noticed a substantial slowdown in my site’s loading times. This is particularly problematic where speed and user experience are crucial. My page load times have increased significantly, which negatively affects user experience. If you’re using the Travelista theme or any theme that recommends Redux, I would advise caution. While Redux may offer robust customization options, the cost to site performance is too high. In a time when speed and performance are critical, using a framework that slows down your site can have detrimental effects. I hope the developers prioritize optimizing Redux for better performance in future updates.
