Biggest opportunity: “facebook”, “google” and “social” 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 600 of 45.2K 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 3 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| sns your tag | #3 | #6 | up 1 |
| facebook your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| social your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| twitter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Seriously spectacular work on this Takahashi! Thank you for making this, I’ve been looking for someone to build this for quite some time. You may want to put some more time into optimizing your plugin’s listing for WordPress plugin search to get more exposure, because I have a feeling TONS of people would love this if they knew about it. The only reason I found it was because I saw that you pushed an update at the same time I was updating my plugin in the Recently Updated list =) I’ll be sure to add it to my list of the best WordPress plugins next time I update it to try and help you get more users =) Keep up the great work! Cheers, Andy Forsberg

I’ve been using Janrain’s plugin for social login, but they add too many features and sometimes conflict with other plugins, I was looking for an alternative and found this. This lightweight and simple plugin does all I wanted!

This plugin is so much better than I thought it would be. With it, users can login with their social media account(s) and even register with just that account. The setup instructions for each platform are quite clear (even if the English could use a make-over). It even has good instructions for redirecting users to something other than the Dashboard once logged in or registered—something I thought I was going to have to figure out how to do myself.
