Biggest opportunity: Swap “fraud prevention”, “security” and “ip blocker” for “fake orders”, “fake” and “blocker”. “fraud prevention” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fake orders” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fake” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ip blocker” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “blocker” sits at #24 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 →13%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 2.4K 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “fraud prevention”, “security” and “ip blocker” for “fake orders”, “fake” and “blocker”. “fraud prevention” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fake orders” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fake” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ip blocker” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “blocker” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “ip blocker”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I was still able to place an order with an email in the “blocked email list”.

So, I thought I’d try this plugin. …no dice… it did not work – specifically, in the instructions it states that you need to go to “WooCommerce > Settings > Anti Fake Orders tab” to enable it. …there is no such tab in WooCommerce after installing the plugin. I tried to contact the developer via his website, but the contact form does not work, and then I tried the email listed, and that email does not exist. I hope there’s no malicious stuff in the plugin I installed, I will be deleting it.
