Biggest opportunity: “comment to download”, “facebook” and “google” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 15K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| comment to download your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| facebook your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| share to download your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

I inserted the shortcode to my page and all it does is create the word “text” and when you click on the word, the FB icon appears with a button that says “generate.”

Finally deactivated and uninstalled the plugin. After activating this plugin and Inserting a link, couldn’t get it to work, After hours of waiting and communicating with plugin author, I managed myself to make it work on FF, but didn’t work on chrome. The author didn’t provide any solution for error on chrome. , though he said that they would make it work by charging on hourly basis. Also this plugin stopped the site stats in wordpress, after deactivating it, site stats is working fine. Also from my observation, if you have other social plugins installed, this will not work certainly. Also if there is jquery.noConflict somewhere it wont work.
