Embed videos and respect privacy

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 · 76% 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.

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.

   Very helpful for being compliant with all the GDPR-stuff and using Embeds.

   Leider funktioniert das Plugin nicht. Benutze WordPress 5.1. Supportforum-Beiträge werden ignoriert oder vor einer sinnvollen Antwort geschlossen…

   Das Plugin tut genau, was es soll. Ideal wäre noch eine einfache Konfigurationsmöglichkeit für den Datenschutzhinweis. Der Link zur Datenschutzerklärung hat sich inzwischen geändert, aber YouTube hat da wohl noch eine Weiterleitung aktiv, die auf die Datenschutzerklärung von Google umleitet, sodass der aktuelle Link nicht ins Leere läuft.
