Install count doesn't reflect chosen adoption
100K+ installs but only 2 reviews: about 0.2 per 10,000 installs, where plugins people pick from the directory typically sit above 10. The install count also held flat for months and then climbed several tiers within weeks, the shape of a distribution change rather than organic adoption. Install bases built through bundling or preinstallation look like this. That is a legitimate way to ship software, but it means the install count says little about how many users chose this plugin.
Not a judgment of the plugin itself. We keep it off install-based leaderboards because the count isn't a popularity signal here.

Biggest opportunity: Swap “anti spam”, “brute force” and “security” for “wp security”, “web security” and “wordpress security”. “anti spam” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “wp security” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “brute force” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “web security” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “security” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “wordpress security” sits at #16 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 →7.5%
of downloads still active
At least 100K of 1.3M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Security plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,061 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Security 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 24 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
- Swap “anti spam”, “brute force” and “security” for “wp security”, “web security” and “wordpress security”. “anti spam” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “wp security” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “brute force” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “web security” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “security” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “wordpress security” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “brute force”. Down 8 places since 2026-09-18, now #20. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “security”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
