Install conversion
How it's measured →9.8%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 10.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,323 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| videohosting your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| rutube your tag | #11 | #9 | 0 |
| channel your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| playlist your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| video your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “rutube”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “channel”, “playlist” and “video” 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.

Можно ли добавить опцию старта видео не с начала, а с заданного времени?

Спасибо авторам данного плагина. Удалось вставить на свою страницу видео с RuTube. Правда только через шорткод. Через URL – чёрный экран плеера.
