Biggest opportunity: Swap “video gallery” and “video player” for “ffmpeg” and “build your own”. “video gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ffmpeg” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “video player” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “build your own” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.5%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 1.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,322 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.

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.
