WPZOOM Connect: Social Icons Widget, Share Buttons & Click to Chat

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 · 42% 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.

   بهترین افزونه برای نمایش آیکون شبکه های اجتماعی در سایت وردپرسی با قابلیت پشتیبانی از آیکون آپارات به صورت پیش فرض و (هر سایت دلخواه دیگر در صورت خرید لایسنس) The best plugin for add social media icons in your wp site and the best option for persian webmasters is supporting Aparat icon by default.
