Biggest opportunity: “animated” and “counters” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 27.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,767 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |

Nice functionality and easy to set up.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ itspriyanka9.6y ago
Hi Roel, Thanks for this plugin. Its very easy to use. However, I had a few feature requests: I want the counter to run on a decimal number. Something like 0 to 2.5 in 1 second. I tried using [countup start=”0″ end=”2.5″ decimals=”1″ scroll=”true” duration=”1″], but that ends at 25 instead of 2.5 I want a suffix, but want it in a slighly smaller size than the number. So in 2.5 Lakh, Lakh needs to be in a smaller font. If I put it outside the counter div, it goes to the next line. Is it possible to have run the counter whenever someone scrolls up and down and comes to that section? If these features are already available, pls let me know how to implement them. Thanks! Priyanka

This plugin is the only one out there that allows you to use dynamic number directly from the database by using shortcode within a shortcode. For instance [countup start=”1″ decimals=”0″ duration=”5″][users_count][/countup] Thank you for adding this functionality. That person who gave you 4 stars needs to resubmit his review as it was his only reason for not giving you 5 stars! I’d give you 6 stars to cover it 😉 Thanks again!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Jon Hardison9.7y ago
Works perfectly! The one missing star is only because I wish I could use an ending number from outside the shortcode itself. Like… [countup start="0" duration="3"]2,500[/countup] Then I could stick some PHP in there and source the number dynamically from content. Love the plugin though. You have all the classes n’stuff you need to make this do pretty much anything you want and it’s simple and light. 🙂 This topic was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by Jon Hardison. Reason: typo

Finding this functionality to trigger the animation when the user scrolls to the content is tough. This works right out of the box. The newest params are so helpful. Thank you!
