WPFront Scroll Top

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

141 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 81 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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 · 65% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 4.8 years ago; the previous band took 2.7 years to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   A plugin that is well made, thought out, and cared for in detail; if we really want to find a flaw, but it wouldn’t be a flaw but rather an additional functionality, it should be possible to change the size of the button even for smaller screens or that it adapts automatically.But it’s already really TOP like this!!! 😅👏👏 This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by thor63.

   It would be even better, if we could add the icon on top AND on bottom of the page.

   This plugin is both simple and customizable. It works from the start on both front-end and admin pages. (You can disable it for admin if you want, but I like it). You can choose the button icon and the size. That’s it. That’s all you have to do. It’s that simple. I’ve tried other similar plugins but they didn’t perform reliably.

   I’m curious, why did you choose to insert the <div> element into the DOM with some JS to handle scrolling. No keyboard focus, no accessible label/name/content, no HTML semantics, no ARIA to fix this.In fact DO NOT use ARIA to override./hide your problems. The best ARIA is no ARIA. Use an <a> element, it’s also quick to write and has it all by definition. You can easily add span inside the link element with translatable content and hide it visually with “sr-only” class (from Bootstrap). You could detect the first link on the page and make it an anchor if there’s no id attribute.
