Stars Testimonials — Responsive Reviews & Star Ratings

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.

   Just what I needed to add some panache to a fairly ordinary WPBakery theme. Thanks.

   Stars Testimonials was an excellent experience during my plug-in setup. Everything loaded well. The directions on how to use the plug-in were easy to follow. As they build and increase their editing options within their widgets, this will be an excellent plug-in. It is working perfect for what I needed it to do. During the setup, had issue with font sizing. The customer support was excellent and they resolved the issue for me. I would use this plug-in again if given the choice.

   The plugin is easy to install and offers numerous options for displaying the testimonials on your website. Since my clients often describe their experiences with my consulting services in great detail, the character limit function is helpful. Unfortunately, the “Read more” button was not displayed. No problem for the supportcenter, the guys solved the problem in a very short time by accessing my website. Thank you for the great support.
