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.

Customisable scroll-down button that takes visitors to the content below the slider.
Glass effect, custom shadows, borders, text outlines and gradient text.

External services
The plugin connects to external services only for the features that need them:
Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com): with the default “local” font mode, the selected font files are downloaded once to the site’s server when a slider is saved, and visitors never contact Google. With the “Google” mode the stylesheet is loaded directly from Google. Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Bunny Fonts (fonts.bunny.net): only when selected in the settings, and for previewing fonts in the editor. Privacy policy: https://bunny.net/privacy
YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com, youtube.com, i.ytimg.com) and Vimeo (player.vimeo.com, vimeo.com, i.vimeocdn.com): only for slides with a background video from these platforms, and to check from the editor that a video can be embedded. Privacy policies: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://vimeo.com/privacy
