Biggest opportunity: Swap “security”, “antispam” and “two factor authentication” for “block spam”, “comment spam” and “hardening”. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “block spam” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “antispam” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “comment spam” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “two factor authentication” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “hardening” sits at #9 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 →1.4%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 3.6M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Security plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,059 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 7 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “security”, “antispam” and “two factor authentication” for “block spam”, “comment spam” and “hardening”. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “block spam” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “antispam” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “comment spam” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “two factor authentication” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “hardening” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Under-ranked on “antispam”. wp.org puts you #24; on merit you place #13. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.

wp-armor bloquait les formulaires Fluent Form pro. Je suis donc passé sur Titan anti-spam et cela a résolu le problème.

Effective, discreet, reliable, simple to use, Titan Anti-spam & Security is a very good alternative to paid extensions!

It’s a nice collection of systems that has done a good job protecting my site. However, there were a couple specific technical issues that I needed assistance with so I sent a couple emails to get help. There was never an answer; even after informing them that ‘this was their last chance’. I’ve been a victim of a cyber attack, both personally with this site that I am working on, and professionally. I know what it’s like to lose everything, digitally speaking: it’s not fun. I rely on programs and systems like this, but more importantly, I rely on a little support when I get stuck or need some assistance. As a member of the “IT’ community, i know my way around a computer and related systems, so when I call or send an email, it’s important. Little or no support has ALWAYS been the most important thing in this business. I hope others have better luck than I

Website crash, error 500

I hate to leave negative comments but hopefully, the creators of this one can find their flaws and correct them. This plugin has been silently living on my blog for years. I forgot it was even there. I’m no web developer or anything so I neglected to test the comments feature occasionally and simply thought I was just an unknown blog. Today I found that my link was shared on a forum and comments were left on there saying they tried commenting in 2019 but their comment never posted. So, I tested it today and sure enough, it didn’t work.I’ve gone through my plugins and it never started working until I deleted Titan. I will now go and find an alternative security method for my website.

Estamos contentos con este plugin gratuito y que nos evita los mensajes de spam en nuestro pequeño blog. Gracias!

I was annoyed when the little Anti-spam plugin became a giant security behemoth. But on an uncomplicated site, the anti-spam function still works invisibly, and I don’t notice change in the way it works or the speed of the site. For my purpose, which is purely filtering spam, the free version continues to work flawlessly; I ignore the rest of the functions. If it does what I want and causes no trouble, it deserves five stars—even though I grumbled at the apparent bloat.
