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.

Overview

About this plugin

Device-Specific Media Element is an Elementor extension that allows you to serve different media formats to different devices:

  • For iOS devices (iPhone/iPad) → Load and play.gif files
  • For Mac devices → Load and play.mp4 files
