Super block slider – Image/video background & content slider

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 · 89% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This is by far the best slider plugin I tried. I have used others in the past, but at some point, I hit the wall. I needed something with a good block editor integration, that could create full-page sliders, and that would be easy to tweak. Super Block Slider checked all the boxes. The support is another plus for this plugin. Shoutout to the developer mikemmx for the great job.

   I am sooo happy with this slider! I searched and tried for a long time, but most plugins are way too bloated!! Yes, there are slim sliders, but they hardly have any setting options. Super block slider has everything you need (fade, slide, all important time settings), is intuitive to use and lightweight. 5 stars!

   I’ve tested quite a few slider plugins and this one fits my needs the best. Highlights:1. Lets you edit the slider and add slides through the page you are editing, rather than having to create a create a slider in a plugin settings page and then add to your page2. Lets you do the above easily in a way that actually makes sense 3. Actively developed, and the developer reacts quickly to support requests

   The plugin has no dependencies – aka bloat – and is written in vanilla JS – finally! – and is only loaded on the pages where it is used. So it is sufficiently optimised – which has become a rarity in itself. There are plenty of settings available and it looks really solid and efficient. If I had to point out one flaw, it would be that it does not use an some established and tested small JS slider library, but is custom developed. However, it seems to be small and efficient, and most importantly – has no dependencies. The only thing I have not figured out is how to use the multi-page slider and if it is even possible – for purposes such as a logo slider and the like.

   I recently changes all my website to a block theme.All went very well, but a good image / content slider was missing.After searching i saw this Super Block Slider.From the beginning I loved it, because it has ll features I was looking for and I has minimal impact on pagespeed.I has a very tiny javascript file, what has minimal impact on pagespeed.After asking for passive listener implementation on the script it took no more than half a day before it was implemented.Michael, i really appreciate your work!
