Slider, Carousel, and Slideshow by Slider Factory – Image Slider, Video 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. 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   We tried a few layouts, nothing worked like in the demo sites. Main photo didn’t load, the navigation didn’t work, captions were in strange fonts at the bottom of the thumbnails. Some layouts do not even have customization settings. Support was responsive but we do not have time to deactivate all plugins to solve the conflicts, we had other plugin worked perfect out of the box.

   This plugin has a big weakness. It is not possible to add a link to the image of each slide. We request the programmer of this plugin to add and update this possibility.

   This is the best carousel plugin that I can ask for. This is one such plugin that can handle images with different aspect ratios. This plugin fulfills all the slider needs for your website.
