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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

   I use this plugin for any new build I make. It’s a must have for anybody even remotely serious about their site security.

   Simple but gets the job done, I especially like the WAF feature because it’s lightweight, and easy to use!
