Biggest opportunity: “image slider”, “photo slider” and “slider” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 317.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 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.
Removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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 |

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles21 of the last 25 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

This is really an excellent there for use slider. Amazing and great support.

В целом вроде красиво. Но! В бесплатной версии нельзя управлять ни размером картинок, ни шрифтами заголовков, ни цветом оформления. Практически ничем. Отчего предлагаемые шаблоны теряют всякий интерес.

It does not work. There is no (up to date) information available on how to start using the plugin for the first time. There seems to be done a lot of effort in developing this plugin, but like with many well intended plugins, the author forgets to help users using it for the first time. We website does not give any useful information either. This topic was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by digihulpdienst.
