Biggest opportunity: Swap “social share” for “tweet button”. “social share” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tweet button” sits at #5 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 →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 667.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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 7 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.

BCTT never worked as needed and I was never able to get a response to the support question — the tweet call-out area affected the font of the paragraph directly below. Disappointed & was looking forward to using this plugin. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bctt-link-affects-font-of-paragraph-directly-below-it/#new-topic-0

This plugin is nice and easy to use, it’s great having it as an easy to use block. I do wish however that it didn’t redirect to welcome screen on activation – maybe the first time is ok but everytime I have to deactivate for testing purposes it is really annoying to be redirected to this page and prevents bulk activation of of plugins
