CloudGuard

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   We only service customers from the US and Canada, so we don’t want to allow people from other locations to access the login page.This works great!

   Just enter two letters for the country code on the setting page. This plugin keeps my sites away from more than a thousand hits from attackers! Thank you.

   This plugin dramatically increases my website’s security and keeps bad actors out of my admin area. I have a local business. My website does not target international audiences. It does not allow user registration. By restricting login possibilities only to my home country, I block 99% of attackers from my site. This topic was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by apaunovski.
