Video Slider – Slider Carousel

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 · 84% 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.

17 of the last 24 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.

   I used it for my site, using it for carousel images and videos as well! Works good and easy setup.

   `Terrible plugin, it contains many errors and apparently, they have not been completely corrected. What good is it having great features if it randomly throws errors with Javascript? I do not recommend it. Paying and waiting to receive a file instead of updating it from the WordPress repository does not inspire confidence. Very bad plugin with many bugs: Failed to load plugin: plugins/slider-video/Scripts/plugins/wpautoresize/plugin.min.js

   Started with the free version and it worked a treat for my task. Updated to paid version and had some questions about updating and downloads that were both responded to very quickly. Thank you!

   Tried this with high hopes, but it’s not well developed and doesn’t operate.

   This is the best slider plugin in wordpress in my opinion. I use it for every website I create. This means all.

   Great plugin! I really like that the free version allows you to add videos via YouTube links, and also very rich options for customizing sliders.
