Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Thank you for this plugin. I just learned about the Lenis smooth scroll library and I was looking at a complicated manual implementation… but then I found your plugin which did everything in one click! Please keep updating it with new features when you have the time, or just to keep it working with newer versions of WordPress as they are released. Cheers!

    Seems to work in all browsers! very nice!But I would prefer a stronger smooth scroll effect. But the plugin has no settings for that. This topic was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by allbutone.
