Biggest opportunity: “cf7”, “cf7 google captcha” and “google captcha” 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.
Install conversion
How it's measured →8.9%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 22.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,786 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| cf7 your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cf7 google captcha your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google captcha your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Installed on WordPress 5.8.1 nothing happens. This topic was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by bpxroot.

This loads the recaptcha after the user starts scrolling rather than the default which is immediately. This means that the script for recaptcha will not cause your performance scores to plummet on tests such as Chrome’s Lighthouse. Works as it should, so thank you!

Nice and simple plugin with nothing to complain! Would be neat, if it could handle the default cf7 scripts the same way. But I know, this is off-topic over here. Thanks for this nice work!

Simple but very effective plugin. I have seen a noticeable difference in terms of page loading time

Hey Sir: This is a must-use plugin with which you can improve your mobile user experience. I think this plugin has great potential if you find a way to enable it to load google resources with certain pages, forms, or clicking elements like buttons or inputs. Many people will want to use it if you extend its functionality. Thank you! This topic was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by Jan Dembowski. Reason: Removed link

Just want to say that this plugin is amazing. It’s simplicity is really what does it. My 98 lighthouse score site is a 64 with reCaptcha v3. You can see the extra processing time on mobile devices and other slower devices. With this plugin, the lazy load for CF7 makes this so much snappier. Only thing that would make this better is if CF7 folks integrated it, but thank you for picking up the slack.
