Image CAPTCHA for Contact Form 7 and WPForms by HookAndHook (DSGVO/GDPR)

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

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 91% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   The plugin works pretty well in the free version. But due to lack of opportunities to purchase the pro version the plugin can’t be used in my case. Change the text in the free version to address German visitors much more formal you would get 5 stars although I found a solution for my needs now.

   My partner complained about the huge spam emails received from the contact page. I initially thought of hiring a freelancer to add some kind of human validation for the Contact 7 form. Then I searched the website and found this plugin WP Image CAPTCHA. After I installed and activated it, add those two words [cf7ic “toggle”] per the instruction, and then I got the working contact 7 form with WP Image CAPTCHA. Very easy to add. Thanks a lot!
