Biggest opportunity: Swap “brute force”, “firewall” and “two factor authentication” for “checksums”, “grade” and “content security policy”. “brute force” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “checksums” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “firewall” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “grade” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “two factor authentication” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “content security policy” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →8.1%
of downloads still active
At least 700 of 8.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 36 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.

Used it to solve a security issue in minutes. Still testing but very impressed.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Francesco6mo ago
After a highly frustrating experience with WP Security Ninja—plagued by endless false positives (Fluent Forms and All in one migration flagged as malware?!) Atlant Security is a breath of fresh air.It’s the most complete security plugin out there and it doesn’t hide features behind a paywall. Lightweight Pre-WordPress WAF (unlike Wordfence) completely free; Real-time threat protection (without the 30-day delay of Wordfence Free), built-in AI scraper blocking, 2FA, and core hardening.Solid, efficient protection. Highly recommended!I’m installing it on all my websites This topic was modified 2 months ago by Francesco.

I am using plugins from the major players (have been for years) which are limited in features for today’s attackers so this is a very promising plugin. Also refreshing to see no promotions of products and services.
