Simple Back To Top

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.

   Lightweight plugin that does what it says on the tin. The only thing it needs is the ability to add hover text, ie: click to scroll to top etc.

   This is malware. It adds advertisement to your site. To my site, it added Kaporal tee shirt ads.

   Lightweight is what I want for a scroll up plugin. Why install a 700+ kb plugin, while you can get under 7 kb. Though last updated a year ago, still works perfectly on my blog with latest WordPress 4.7 version. Thank you.

   Works great. With CDN & caching etc enabled it broke my theme’s back to top button. This works great. 60 seconds to set-up. Thanks!
