of downloads still active
At least 1K of 124.3K 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| slim jetpack your tag | #21 | #11 | down 4 |
| jetpack your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tweets your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| twitter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| views your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Under-ranked on “slim jetpack”. wp.org puts you #21; on merit you place #11. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- “jetpack”, “tweets” and “twitter” 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.

This is an ok plugin but it is not near as good as Jetpack.

Huge struggle with knock on bugs within the Moka Theme from Elma studio. Infinite scroll was didn’t fire. Javascript errors killed Flexslider and the tiled mosaic galleries didn’t conform to container size on initiation. Nice idea, a light version of Jetpack, it certainly drew me in; but cannot recommend this to anyone due to the numerous issues and wasted time faced. Fresh install of the Full Fat Jetpack fixed all issues.

Appears to work, and no nagging. But instructions suggested(?) that deleting or uploading separate modules would work, which seems important because the listing of modules included here do not match those included in the current version of nag-fest-extraordinaire plugin, Jetpack. However, the Slim interface doesn’t seem to update, with modules added (via ftp) or deleted. Thus, modules like Publicize! are not included here, and do not seem to be accessible via Slim Jetpack. Specifically, the ones not included here are: Comments, gplus-authorship, likes, markdown, post-by-email, publicize, and subscriptions. NOTE: Perhaps those modules all require a wordpress.com connection to operate, so perhaps this is actually up-to-date. There are a couple modules that are included in Slim that do not appear in the current jetpack (2.8). If I am incorrect in any of this, please let me know and I will update/re-rate my review.

Practical, useful and compact tool without many unnecessary function from the wordpress.com jetpack for self-hosted sites. User right administration would do well because it was displayed on my website to subscribers if you would not have used any role managers.

Out of all the plugs in I’ve tried, this one fell just one important step short of being perfect. It’s easy to install and has a super easy set up interface. In fact, everything about it was looking perfect… EXCEPT…. there is no Facebook like button if you aren’t hosted by wordpress.com. That’s a shame since FB is such an ingrained part of the social networking system… oh well. Unless someone gives me a workaround solution (and I tried adding a special icon, but it won’t give me the FB logo, just that y shaped share logo), I’m back to shopping.
