Biggest opportunity: Swap “banner slider” and “slider” for “responsive slick slider” and “slick”. “banner slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “responsive slick slider” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “slick” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 500 of 15.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| responsive slick slider | #11 | #24 | up 1 |

| slick slider your tag | #16 | #24 | up 2 |
| banner slider your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

What to do about it
- Swap “banner slider” and “slider” for “responsive slick slider” and “slick”. “banner slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “responsive slick slider” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “slick” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “slick slider”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

there is no “Responsive Slick Slider” link in dashboard after installing this plugin. it is a conflict with Caldera Forms plugin, that’s why it doesn’t show up in dashboard. This plugin is not bad at all, very easy adding slides, lots of options for slider, but no option of “carousel” so no good for my project 🙁 This topic was modified 8 years, 9 months ago by aibo77.
