Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Reappearance control:

Padding, font size, border width
Width (%) and max-width (px) for popups
Custom CSS classes per banner
Close button with configurable persistence
Overlay for popups with optional close-on-click
2):
Native HTML <dialog> element for popups — focus trap, Escape key, backdrop managed by the browser
role="dialog" and aria-modal="true" applied automatically
aria-label on each dialog using the banner title
Keyboard-only navigation: Escape to close, Tab cycling trapped inside popup
Backdrop click closes popup (configurable)
-:focus-visible styling for keyboard users
Screen reader compatible (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS)
Debug mode:
Append?bannermonster_debug=1 to any URL to bypass localStorage persistence
Banner appears on every page load regardless of close state
Zero dependencies on the frontend. jQuery is only used in the admin area.
Performance:
Frontend assets loaded only when active banners exist on the page
Vanilla JavaScript, no frameworks
WordPress object cache for database queries
Admin assets loaded only on BannerMonster screens
