Cresta Social Share Counter

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 86% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   a week ago my article shows 2K shares & after plugin update suddenly it start showing only 200 shares. One article which got 500+ shares now showing only 1 share. This plugin has completely destroyed value of my website. Completely foolish plugin. If they are doing this to earn money then this is malpractice. WordPress must remove such plugin from list.

   That is a nice looking and fast working social sharing plugin. Easy to customize. Support team answers fast (at least for Pro version users).
