Biggest opportunity: Swap “bot blocking” for “ddos”. “bot blocking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ddos” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 1.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Security plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,061 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Security plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

Directory rank
Ranked about #23,100 to #25,000, alongside the other plugins at 30+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

I hope it helps WordPress users protect themselves from DDoS attacks, it also protects you from Javascript Based DDoS Attacks that exploit the Subresource Integrity (SRI) vulnerability, from which neither Crowdsec, nor Mod_Evasive, nor IP_Tables Rules nor Cloudflare protect you.I struggled until I fortified my page and I have all the above services enabled, finally I succeeded by creating this WordPress Security Plugin.I am very satisfied that I made it available for other users to use completely free of charge, it is open source software with License GPL 2.0.
