Biggest opportunity: “image slider”, “js slider” and “slider” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 10K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,324 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.27, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| image slider your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| js slider your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| slider your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| swiper your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wordpress slider your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

Is it possible that this “modern” slider does not even allow the images to be hyperlinked? This seems impossible but cannot find it anywhere. Hope I am wrong. This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by teacherdesigner. This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by teacherdesigner.

This is one of the best carousel plugin. It does out of the box what I expected. Its easy to use and comes with a lots of options to style your slider. Highly recommend this plugin.
