ARVE Advanced Responsive Video Embedder is a render-time plugin. Each embed lives as an [arve url=...] shortcode or an arve/arve Gutenberg block stored inside the post's post_content. The plugin reads the URL, detects the provider (YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, Twitch, and dozens more), and renders a responsive iframe. There is no per-embed table, but the data lives inside the posts table waiting to be counted.

SleekView Charts reads the posts table directly. A virtual field counts ARVE shortcodes and block markers inside post_content, so Number cards summarize total embed instances across the catalog. Pie cards group by detected provider, so the team sees how much of the library is YouTube versus Vimeo versus self-hosted Bunny. Bar cards rank authors by embed volume using post_author, and area cards trace embed adoption over post_date so the editorial team can see when video became a regular part of the format.

Every card reads the same post_content the ARVE shortcode and block render from. Front-end embeds, lazy loading, and ARVE Pro features continue to behave exactly as before. The dashboard becomes the admin-side companion that finally answers how often, where, and from which provider videos appear.

Embedding video is one of those long-tail editorial decisions that compound over years. A handful of YouTube embeds in 2018 quietly turn into hundreds across categories, authors, and post types by 2025. ARVE Advanced Responsive Video Embedder is excellent at rendering each one responsively but never tries to be a content dashboard for the catalog as a whole.

The settings screen handles defaults, not totals. SleekView Charts reads post_content directly, counts ARVE shortcodes and blocks, extracts the provider from each URL, and renders the result as a chart dashboard. Editorial leads, content strategists, and site admins finally have one screen for video format adoption across the catalog.

The shortcode renderer keeps behaving exactly as before, the front-end embeds keep loading exactly as before, and the team gains the reporting layer that the long-tail of embedded video deserves.
