Social Preview and Open Graph Tags

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.

   We use dlvr.it to spread our articles across multiple social media accounts, and this plugin is perfect for supporting this job. The feature that makes it really invaluable for us is the distinction between the WP posts “featured image” and the image which gets submited to the socials (plus the default image which is sent when no image is selected). This lets us distinguish between images which are allowed to be published on social media and images with stricter copyright requirements. Since the standard WP feed cannot distinguish these cases we would be in permanent jeopardy by copyright holders – or we simply could not use featured images, which is impossible for an online daily newspaper. This plugin is a godsend!

   Doesn’t work for showing facebook or twitter images. And the developer has apparently abandoned this plug in, looking for someone to sell it to.

   If you only need twitter and facebook cards for your articles, this is the plugin you need install, Yoas allow this function in premium version so it’s great have this function free. Thanks Webdados (Marco Almeida), great work!
