Social Media Feather

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. 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.

   Refuses to stop asking you to accept their terms of service. Admin alerts are supposed to be dismissable and STAY DISMISSED according to WordPress. Anything else, you’re abusing the control granted by the person that installed the plugin. Then it has the audacity to beg for a 5 star review, so I gave a review.

   La ultima version de esta plugin, junto a la ultima version de wordpress genera una saturacion deL I/O, dejando la web funcionando al 100% continuamente. Esto ocurre cuando se colocan los botones de compartir y seguir en la pagina principal (index). Es un error fatal, un plugin que genera esto es un plugin totalmente mal escrito. No revise los datos que comparte y exactamente que es lo que ejecuta continuamente, pero al desactivarlo el I/O bajo a valores normales. Yo use este plugin durante años en distintas web, pero con la nueva actualizacion calleron 15 web. Un desastre. This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by josenovo.
