How it's measured →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 413.4K 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.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “twitter widget”, “twitter wordpress plugin” and “twitter feed” for “retweet”, “twitter feeds” and “twitter api”. “twitter widget” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “retweet” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “twitter wordpress plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “twitter feeds” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “twitter feed” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “twitter api” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “twitter feed”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
