SVG Block

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 · 78% 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.

   Intégration parfaite du SVG : on peut modifier la couleur de ses icones, et on les retrouve dans la librairie média standard. Ce devrait être intégré dans WordPress. Tous les plugins de cet auteur sont excellents. This topic was modified 5 months ago by domguard.

   I have tested several SVG plugins, and this one seems to be the best of them all. Animations are even displayed directly in the block editor. It offers many customization options and optimal scaling. Top-notch!

   This plugin adds some missing functionality that Gutenberg should have by default. It’s great. The developer is also very receptive and quick in adding features.

   I was looking for a plugin that made it easier to embed SVG files directly, rather than linking them as an image. This plugin works great. The SVG browser has a bunch of pre-loaded icons, and automatically imports any SVG files you upload as well. The separator shape blocks are a nice touch I didn’t even think of. I’m definitely going to keep using this plugin on other sites. Highly recommended. Thank you for the great plugin!

   This is very handy. Would love an option disabling everything except the use of custom SVG from the media library.
