Description
Turn your WordPress site into a competitive hub — in under 5 minutes.
Leaderboarded is the easiest way to embed a live, animated leaderboard into any WordPress post or page. Just paste a shortcode and your leaderboard appears, fully hosted and automatically updated in real-time. No coding, no database setup, no headaches.
Whether you’re running a sales competition, a team challenge, or a gamified community — Leaderboarded gives you a professional leaderboard that people actually want to look at.
Why Leaderboarded?
Most teams track performance in spreadsheets that nobody checks. Leaderboarded turns that data into something visual, competitive, and motivating — embedded right where your audience already is.
Real-time updates. When you change a score on Leaderboarded.com, your embedded leaderboard updates automatically. No page refresh needed. No manual re-publishing.
Beautiful out of the box. Animated rankings, multiple themes, and customizable colors make your leaderboard look polished without any design work.
Mobile-friendly management. Update scores from your phone, tablet, or laptop. The admin interface works on any device.
Multiple leaderboard types. Choose between individual leaderboards, team leaderboards, and click counters — whatever fits your use case.
Dead simple to embed. One shortcode is all it takes: [leaderboarded token="your-token"]. If you can paste text, you can embed a leaderboard.
