Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records OpenGraph Fallback Embed version 1.3.7 as active, updated 7mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
OpenGraph Fallback Embed adds a custom Gutenberg block and an auto-embed fallback that renders rich link cards using OpenGraph metadata from any URL.
Features:
OpenGraph Embed block — Paste any URL to embed it as a styled card showing the page’s title, description, image, and site name.
Auto-embed fallback — When WordPress can’t find an oEmbed provider for a URL pasted on its own line, this plugin automatically fetches the page’s OpenGraph tags and renders a card instead of a plain link.
Graceful degradation — Falls back to Twitter Card meta tags, then to HTML <title> and <meta name="description"> when OpenGraph tags are missing.
Transient caching — Fetched metadata is cached for 7 days to minimise external requests.
