Ductile Responsive Video

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 · 96% run the current release. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 500+ in roughly 207 days.

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers like how small and hands-off it is, with a couple flagging a Jetpack shortcode clash and missing padding around embeds.

   A pefect minimalistic approach. Saves a lot of time and effort, especially when you’re busy and the last thing you need is doing additional research and learning how to use a new plugin, which you will forget by next week anyway. Just install it and it begins to work by itself!

   Heads-up: It is not compatible with Jetpack’s “Shortcode Embeds” feature though. You’ll need to turn that off for this to work.

   Cool plugin as it does what it says. I’m missing some padding after the embeds, though. Plugin will get a 5/5 if that’s fixed 🙂

   Also worked when I wrapped video in a div to limit max width.

   I like simple lightweight plugins. This is a simple lightweight plugin. If it works for you, great! If it is missing something you need, there are more fully-featured plugins available which might work better for you.
