Age Verify

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.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 98% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Had to stop using it once my site got more busy since PHP based age gate isn’t compatible with cache plugins. But if you’re not planning to cache, this works fine

   Like my review on another similar plugin, because this plugin uses PHP to check cookies, it doesn’t work with cached pages…such as with the W3 Total Cache plugin or WP Engine.

   My customers see it on every visit to the page even if within the time frame the plugin is set for. Support board is never answered by anyone even though there are active topics. Plugin looks to be abandoned as it hasn’t been checked for latest compatibility.

   Works very well. Had issues in Internet Explorer, but figured them out. Does have some weird dashes it adds to the separation of the drop downs… and it kicks out an odd query field for a home page landing URL… which might not be good with SEO or Google. Doing research.

   The only thing that’s missing for me is a couple of templates to make the form look better.

   I am so happy to have found this plug-in. It works on my hosted WordPress site and does everything I need it to do. I found that it reflects our page’s style and works on mobile.

   I would like to keep using this plugin, but it has a long standing issue of not support mobile devices. Basically, if you access site from anything other than desktop and it will lock all users out.

   1. Very little ability to style this plugin 2. plugin gets stuck at the top of the page and will not move no matter the CSS styling that is done. 3. Unclicking the ” Use built-in CSS on the front-end (recommended)” renders the plugin utterly useless. 4. No support 5. No redirect page
