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

This is one of those plug-ins that once you set it up, you’ll forget it’s there. If you post links to your site on other social media sites you know half of them either mess up the sizing of your thumbnails or fail to pick them up at all. This plug-in fixed all that for me and I install it on every WP blog I run.

Everyone needs this plugin. It’s unfortunate that WP doesn’t work like this by default, so I am grateful for the developer of this app. It works, it’s effective and beautifully fills up the gap WP left untreated. Thank you!

Hi, I tried to post this on the support page but it says I’m not allowed to. Sorry to bother here. The description is not correct even after the scraping with the Facebook Developer tool. I’m using a Qode Interactive theme and I insert the description following this path Blog posts->Selected post->edit in WP-> Qode SEO-> Meta Description. So, the plugin is perfect to read the featured image of the blog posts but it doesn’t work with descriptions. What can I do? Thank you so much
