of downloads still active
At least 40 of 48K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

Get the full rank-higher report →Search visibility
How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| techgasp your tag | #15 | #16 | 0 |
| facebook your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| facebook page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shortcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “techgasp”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “facebook”, “facebook page” and “shortcode” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

This is the perfect plugin if you want to learn all the hot words used by marketing-companies to promote any web-related products! It’s a big and fancy way to add a like-button to your page. If you want any more you’ll need to pay.

I normally don’t take the time to leave a review unless I really like the product I’m using. Unless it’s a product I really dislike. This plugin is not worth the time at all. I am not a Newbie by any means when it comes to WordPress and using plugins. I installed this plugin and spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out how to use it. Total disaster. No real directions, other than plastering links to their own website and social media pages. I would throw myself off a building before I spent money on this plugin. There are plenty of other useful, easier, & straight-forward plugins to use out there. *Shout-out to the Author. Make a plugin that users don’t have to spend forever trying to figure out how to use it, let alone learn it. We don’t like wasting time, & time is MONEY. I’ve wasted both in the past 30 minutes bothering with this plugin.

Better free plugins out there

I added this plugin to my website as I was tired of the loading time and bloat of the other Facebook plugins. Facebook Master does not use Ajax or Javascript which makes it very lightweight on your website and faster loads. The customer service is also excellent as they promptly replied when I had a question. Highly recommended.

This plugin can be a bit confusing, but it serves its purpose well.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ orbit013.1y ago
Made the mistake of paying. Bad documentation. Updates that break the plugin. Ads in the widget even on the paid version – and no way to remove them. Hoping that clicking the link for “Advanced” would lead to some actual help or documentation, I clicked it in the widget. Wrong. All it does is lead to a Sales page, trying to re-sell me the **** plugin I already paid for. Don’t waste your money. There are other plugins that do the same, and have better documentation, and are ad-free, FOR free.
