Biggest opportunity: Swap “facebook feed” and “like box” for “page plugin” and “facebook like”. “facebook feed” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “page plugin” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “like box” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “facebook like” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 416.4K 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 1 release 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.

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.

What to do about it

Working well so far. The only hiccup seems to be with the Firefox browser even if I turn off the Enhanced Tracking Protection for my website.

To me, the best Facebook feed plugin. Some others are not responsive. Mongoose is! Some others don’t have tabs -Feed, Events, Messages- Mongoose does! Some others only fecth data from one Facebook page. With Mongoose, you can fetch any FB page feed (provided the source fanpage is correctly configured)! Nice job, Cameron!

This is a very easy plugin to configure and it works like a charm! I tried several other options that involve complicated code, and none of them worked. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
