ShareThis Share Buttons

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 · 83% 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.

   The plug in looks promising but it’s not saving the options.

   Seems everything is working as expect and working fine. Everything seemed to be working as expected and functioning smoothly; however, despite their popularity, I did not find the options to share on Instagram and TikTok. I anticipate that these sharing options will be added in the next update. Best Regards

   I really liked the plugin! I use it in all my posts.I like the support even more! Very thoughtful! And it went way beyond due discovering that the problem was in the template and how to fix it.I just hope that maybe we will have other buttons in the future, like in the picture: prnt.sc/Q2ffEMlPlVfjThank you, guys. Happy new year.
