Overview

The Jellyfish Counter plugin provides a widget and shortcode enabling you to
easily add animated counters to your WordPress site.

Counters can be used as a manually updated total, an automatic counter that
updates over time or just as an animated visual effect.
Each counter can count upwards or downwards making them suitable for both
incrementing totals or countdown situations. A great visual effect for travel

Great and much needed custom counter!
by offpeakdesign·8 years ago

The plugin hasn’t been updated in two years, but haven’t experienced any issues and it looks like the developer is actively responding to forum. Works really well and is very useful if creating a counter with unique variables! Haven’t found any other plugin that does this yet. Hope the developer will continue to support this again. Many thanks for its creation.

Leider kein Support
by Mc.Dudel·10 years ago·1 reply

Counter zählt nicht richtig, muss immer nachgestellt werden. Leider keine Redaktion vom Support, aber Spenden wollen sie haben für dieses schlechte Programm. Nicht zu empfehlen.

Responsiveness!
by Endres from change.lighting·10 years ago

Don’t get me wrong:
this is the perfect counter!
Good documentation and a really dedicated Developer. If you use it, consider a donation, since there really is nothing like it out there.

So why the 4 stars?
The one issue I am having is the non-responsiveness of the counter size.
The only possibility I see to prevent negative impacts on your SEO is to have it hidden on mobile, for example with the “.hidden-xs” css class.

Other then that, maybe a little optimisation on performance with JS and CSS.

Very nice plugin!
