Biggest opportunity: Swap “ecommerce” and “shortcode” for “woocommerce product slider” and “product slider”. “ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “woocommerce product slider” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “product slider” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 388.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,171 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “ecommerce” and “shortcode” for “woocommerce product slider” and “product slider”. “ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “woocommerce product slider” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “product slider” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “autoplay”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “product carousel”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ computershowtopro11mo ago
While the integration into an article or page with the shortcode is super easy, the fact that there is ONLY ONE SINGLE SLIDER that you may have is very disheartening. Yith team has made many great plugins, but this one is just sooo limited, it discredits the other Yith plugins, seriously.

Almost perfect, it did what I expected, and the easy way. The only downside is that it is not responsive

For a free item that works amazing to show my product. Very impressed.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ macksix5.6y ago
This is limited, but for a simple carousel of products, the free version works fine. It is responsive and the number of products is reduced as the screen gets narrower. I give the free version 5 stars for working as advertised. The shortcode works in Elementor shortcode block, but the slider does not show in the builder, only on the front end.
