LukasApps CAPTCHA tools for Contact Form 7

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 · 93% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   For security reasons, WordPress is asking me to upgrade my PHP version to 8.3. New versions of PHP receive regular security updates and improve your site’s performance, and this is the minimum recommended version of PHP.However, when checking compatibility with your plugin, it seems that it only accepts PHP 8, not the next version, is that right?

   I don’t know why there are so many negative reviews. This plugin works just fine. Maybe you need to read the instructions properly

   Worst plugin to work with, no support provided, doesn’t block the bots, invalid error message does not go even on successfully checking the captcha checkbox. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by Pavas Dave.
