Biggest opportunity: “gdpr” 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.

How it's measured →3.7%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 26.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.2%, across 502 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

Works great. I’d love an option to replace the image inline with the YT video instead using an overlay. 🙂

Works great. Thank you for this handy little plugin.

Funktioniert wunderbar, zwei Punkte als Hinweis: * Die Variante ohne eigenes Startbild ist sinnlos, da dabei ja auch ungefragt die IP Adresse an Youtube gesendet wird. * Die Angabe zum Startbild sollte als relativer Pfad angeben werden (ohne http/https). Beim Beispiel: [dsgvo-youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX11yw6YL1w” images=”../../wp-content/uploads/2015/10/I-can-do-it.jpg”][/dsgvo-youtube] Anyway, great work and thanks!

Dieses Plugin war für mich das beste: Es erhöhte den PageSpeed Score von Google auf das mögliche Maximum. Mobil war ich bei 52% mit anderen Plugins, Desktop auf 86%. Dieses schlichte Plugin brachte mich auf 63% und 99%. Bämm. Ähnliche Ergebnisse bei GTMetrix.
