Biggest opportunity: “facebook share”, “meta description” and “meta tag” 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 100 of 6.1K 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.
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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, well behind 7.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| facebook share your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| meta description your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| meta tag your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| open graph your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo description your tag | Not checked yet | ||

Made Facebook and Twitter play nice with my site.

It assumes that the theme’s screenshot is in .png format. For smaller file size reason, I prefer using .jpg images for my theme’s screenshots. To set the record straight, .png is the preferred format, although other image formats are allowed. This is a direct quote from the Codex pages: “Note that optionally, .jpg, .jpeg, and .gif are also valid extensions and file formats for the screenshot (though not recommended).” Other than that, this plugin is refreshingly small in size, and that’s a good thing.
