of downloads still active
At least 70 of 7.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.25.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| live stream church your tag | #13 | #9 | down 1 |
| live your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| stream your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “live stream church”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “live” and “stream” 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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #18,200 to #19,000, alongside the other plugins at 70+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

As a pastor/ mission worker, I truly appreciate Gabriel and his team for their work in creating and maintaining this app. It is the perfect alternative to creating a stylish Live page on a budget.

This plugin is a must have for I framing YouTube live on your website including live chat. Gabriel and his team are fantastic! I downloaded the free plugin from wordpress on a Sunday afternoon and ran into some minor tech issues. I sent out a support email and Gabriel responded to me within a matter of minutes (literally). Within a short period of time everything was taken care of personally by Gabriel and we are extremely happy and so impressed! I have been in digital marketing for well over a 14 years and we highly recommend this plugin or any plugin or service offered by this outstanding company~Steven John
