Ocean Social Sharing

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 76% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Only two stars because it’s easy to use but still shows the old twitter icon instead of the new X which makes clients’ sites look outdated.

   Despite showing options of showing the buttons after content, the only options that work are no buttons or buttons at the top of the content. According to the support area this problem has remained unsolved for at least 4 years! Also the plugin still supports the long-gone google+. Looks like the updates were superficial, but nothing of importance has been fixed or updated.

   Great extension, fast setting-up, lightweight.. Thanks to the developer, I could even place Social Sharing buttons on custom post types with a single small line of PHP code.. great for an event based website.
