of downloads still active
At least 10 of 23.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.9.40, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| stop adblock your tag | #21 | #10 | up 1 |
| anti adblock your tag | #24 | #10 | — |
| detects users with adblock your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| money adsense your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| translation ready your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Under-ranked on “anti adblock”. wp.org puts you #24; on merit you place #10. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- Under-ranked on “stop adblock”. wp.org puts you #21; on merit you place #10. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- “detects users with adblock”, “money adsense” and “translation ready” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles13 of the last 14 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

Hi from Germany, absolutley great plugin! Works 100%. For the people that don’t understand Italien, like me, just copy paste the directions in the settings into google translator, and “Disco” You know what going on. I only had to choose the colours, and put in my text, thats it. And you can crap the italien language easily by intuition. Hi, Super Plugin! Macht zu 100% genau was es soll. Wenn Ihr kein Italienisch versteht, wie ich auch, dann kopiert einfach die Texte in den Einstellungen in den google Übersetzer! (Ja da war doch was;) Ich brauchte nur zwei Farben angeben, und meinen Text ändern, das wars. Und das Italienisch versteht man auch intuitiv.

U could add own HTML on block screen and Lang manually choice 🙂 Cool option could be adding music from yt without video, only sound. In this version block screen is not at full page (in left side are some pixels(maybe 5)) sometimes work scroll-block.

Le message bloque le site ! Un gentil message permettrait d’inviter l’internaute à désactiver la publication d’une manière douce. Peut mieux faire ! 1 star suffit en l’état. Je désinstalle.
