Biggest opportunity: “twitter feeds”, “twitter timeline” and “twitter widget” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 188.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.30, 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.

Nice plugin with superb support team!

Plugin does some nice things, but it’s such a pity that it lets you fill in all 4 API-codes for EVERY twitter feed! Why?? Why not in a central place, one time! Further on the description of how to find your API-codes is really bad. Like most plugin describers do it is so horrible to understand what the nerds mean, why??

I’ve tried several other plugins for this purpose, but they were either bloated or I couldn’t get it to work. This one is easy to configure and just works. You have to figure out how to style it to accommodate your theme, but once done, it’s easy to implement on other sites as well.

Great plug-in! Easy to setup and it is fast. The only problem is that the time posted is wrong! Would be nice if this was fixed. Then I can only give it 4 stars until the posting time problem is fixed! Please fix this problem as this is a great plug-in otherwise.
