of downloads still active
At least 30 of 9.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,321 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| consulting hour your tag | #16 | #19 | 0 |
| consult your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| video call your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| video chat your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| video conference your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “consulting hour”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “consult”, “video call” and “video chat” 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.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “30+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 40.
