Text Typing – grab attention with animated typing headlines

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 · 23% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   This is a fantastic and easy-to-use plugin. Unfortunately, we can only use it for paragraph text as there is no functionality for HTML tagging. Looking forward to this feature. Thanks 🙂

   Does exactly what it says on the tin. It was exactly what I was looking for and allows for plenty of customizability. Thanks!

   Either the installation manual is incomplete or/and the plugin is outdated. No matter which – the explanation is not the same as what happens in real life.

   In addition to the promised effects this plugin loads the whole Google fonts library and it’s own styling options, instead of using the style options available in WordPress. So, that’s a no for me. If you need custom fonts for your animated text only and don’t mind loading Google Fonts, this might be for you. If you want to maintain consistency for those using the site, find another solution.
