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.

   I was looking for a way to show my own related videos on the end screen, and this plugin does it beautifully! The layout looks very professional and clean. It’s exactly what I needed for my site. Thank you for creating such a wonderful and helpful tool!

   Really love this Plugin. It has transformed my life and each upgrade gets better and better. Yes, the author is grumpy, but only out of frustration because I didn’t understand what info he needed. But once my problem was sorted (conflict with another plugin) it works like a charm. Please invest in the pro version, it makes to so much better.

   Stopped working 3 days ago, with the last upgrade. I asked for a link to the previous working version, so I could re-install it until the current version would work. I shouldn’t need such hand-holding. Got me thinking, maybe if an upgrade to any plugin, stops it from working, perhaps it might become useful, if a link was included to previously working versions for people, who really rely on the work that you great authors, do, that helps us with what we do. Thank you.

   Elementor suddenly stopped showing embedded YouTube videos. I tried everything to solve it, until I found ARVE, a lightweight and decent plugin that solved the problem. Just put the video URL in a shortcode and magic happens. God bless the ARVE team.

   Just because people use your plugin doesn’t give you right to take up 1/3 of the dashboard with your stupid advertisement.“Hi, this is Nico(las Jonas) the author of the ARVE Advanced Responsive Video Embedder plugin. If you are interrested in additional features and/or want to support the work I do on this plugin please consider buying the Pro Addon.” Then proceeding to take up my dashboard with your “features”. I’ve seen plugins abusing the dashboard access before but none equals the wall of text that your plugin injects. Learn some basic decency before publishing a plugin. No, It doesn’t matter than it can be crossed out. It shouldn’t be there in the first place.P.S. If you’re going to plaster someone’s dashboard with an essay advertising your pro version, at least spell check it. I’ll leave it to you to figure out where it is.

   I have not been getting any invoices or receipt emails from NextGenThemes. I found out I was just billed when I was looking over my bank statement. A search revealed no emails in my email history, and no email in spam. Needless to say, I logged in and cancelled.

   I use both Vimeo and YouTube videos on my websites and recently the Vimeo player has caused display and page speed problems. I purchased and tested the ARVE Pro player and it fixed the Vimeo issues and also works well with YouTube. It will be my standard video player going forward!

   i bought this plugin..so called pro version, i had a problem with videos not starting when clicked on some mobiles, i wrote to that guy on his so-called forum, never got an answer, this plugin is not mobile frendly, nor AMP compatible…and even worst, now i have thousands of stupid shortcodes that i must replace, never buy a plugin that replace your data with shortcodes !
