How it's measured →12%
of downloads still active
At least 40K of 328.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “indicator”, “top” and “keyboard navigation” (#4, #4 and #6 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Beautiful! Simple, minimalist “scroll to top button” with a progress indicator that works great on v6.8.2!

We love the scroll progress indicator that is incorporated into Smooth Back To Top Button by Tanvirul Haque. We stumbled across this lightweight Scroll-To-Top plugin on Hans-Gerd Gerhards website. We have now implemented it on our hobby website. It works nicely with our block theme based site.

This is shockingly nice. It activated and did its job within 10 seconds of me having the thought to look for a plugin like this. The options on the backend are a nice surprise for such a simple plugin. Nice work.

I don’t build a site without this plugin. It’s part of the necessary quality of life plugins I keep on hand as a staple. Hasn’t gone wrong either. Has enough customization to fit in with whatever site it’s on. Love it. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by tmorris91.
