How it's measured →3.4%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 293.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,783 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.
This plugin shipped 4 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
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “competitors”, “prevention” and “protection” (#13, #13 and #16 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ ezaspillc6mo ago
We gave this a try, spent about $280 in 1 day on google ads. This plan runs minimum $100-$150/mo, it better more than pay for itself. It stated there was nothing attacking us, no harm. I wrote to google who also stated the clicks were not made by competitors but that by just so happenstance that MULTIPLE people can live in a household with multiple devices and click multiple times from said devices before making a decision. So clicking 28 times from multiple devices, 1 household that cost us $137 in 1 single day I s”normal”??? why am I paying for this software if it supposed to block out this kind of activity and realize the IP comes from the same “household”. I dont blame this company for competitor scumbags but my hope is they can stop them. This does not do that at all.

The plugin only works with a paid subscription to ClickCease, and it’s absolutely, 100% worth it.

I’m not commenting on the ClickCease service – as far as I know, that’s totally great, but this plugin is coded in the worst way imaginable. So much php processing and hogging of the output buffer unecessarily. Do not use this plugin. Just add the code to your theme’s header manually.
