Responsive 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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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 slide plugin that works and is simple to use. Worked better than any other for a simple rotating banner.

   I see someone else couldn’t get the plugin to work a week ago and their support question remains unanswered so have just uninstalled it.

   There are plenty of slider plugins to choose from. This one had just the features I wanted, nothing more, nothing less. The responsiveness works very nicely. Best of all, it uses standard WordPress features such as featured images and page order.
