Biggest opportunity: Swap “cookie” for “cookie hinweis”. “cookie” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cookie hinweis” sits at #10 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 →6.5%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 76.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.1%, across 502 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie hinweis | #10 | #14 | down 1 |
| cookie your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cookie banner your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cookie notice your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “cookie” for “cookie hinweis”. “cookie” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cookie hinweis” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Release cadence

Dieses PlugIn tut das, was es soll. Es verzichtet dabei auf Unnötiges, was es in der Bedienung sehr einfach macht. Gute Wahl.

Functionality is good, however, CSS from this plugin needs improvement. Case: Class “.btn” has “!important” on padding. Where: Plugin -> style.css:133 Suggestion: Give the button a new class or ID to remove necessity for “!important”

Das Plugin ist einfach und flexibel einzusetzen, nicht mit Schnickschnack überladen und tut was es soll. Ein anfängliches Problem konnte über das Support-Forum zeitnah und vollständig gelöst werden. Was will man mehr? P.S. Ich sollte erwähnen, dass ich kein Experte in Sachen Cookies und DSGVO bin; ich kann also nicht wirklich beurteilen, ob man dies oder jenes noch besser machen könnte. Obiges ist somit nur aus der Sicht des Nutzers (Site-Owners) formuliert.

Der Entwickler hat den Namen des Cookies (bst_dsgvo_cookie) für die Zustimmung umbenannt. Somit muss man beim nächsten Update seine If-Abfragen ändern. Ist mir gerade beim Testen aufgefallen. Bitte beim nächsten Update nicht wieder den Namen ändern. Danke! This topic was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by loewenherz76.
