Biggest opportunity: “wechat” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 20.2K 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| weixin | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| wechat oa | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| wechat share your tag | #22 | #22 | down 1 |
| wechat your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

10 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 7 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “wechat” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “weixin”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

After installed the plugin for one week, the functions combining weixin login, follow and unfollow, customized QR code are working fine. A little bit misunderstandings problems have been solved after contact with developer. Glad to installed it and WP weixin need to be recommended to more people. BTW, guys, you may be very interested in a foreigner who programmed applications for local Chinese users with totally understanding the local APPs rules, and even more, the China internet laws suggestions. Many thanks.

This is the best plugin ever . I m running a social websites for Expats in China and this plugin is indisputably TOP 1 for sites needing WeChat integration .Before landing on this plugin ,I have been back and forth installing and deleting plugins claiming to do the job but none could solve my quest for a smooth and clean wechat integration.It does everything exactly as detailed and best of all the plugin is unbelievably FREE OF CHARGE On installation the support was just amazing.The author helped me getting it setup at every step .I think the plugin definitely deserves a decent pro price. Thanks again for your awesome plugin
