Biggest opportunity: “ccpa”, “dns” and “do not sell” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 10.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.2%, across 502 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| donotsell your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| cookiepro your tag | #4 | #3 | 0 |
| ccpa your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| dns your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| do not sell your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Published and enabled Show to all users but the button/link just doesn’t show at all (basic blank site with theme 2020)

You have to insert and copy and paste the code into your files of your site. It doesn’t simply put it on the site for you. I can code my own, and don’t need this half-assed garbage.

Can’t find the option to show it to California residents only. It shows the option to everybody. I don’t want to give other users the option to disable tracking. This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by Sim Architect.

I was able to get up and running with little effort, and it checked all the boxes for our CCPA compliance initiative. CookiePro seems to be ahead of the game compared to some of the other options out there. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for solution to attack CCPA.

Simple setup to help meet CCPA requirements! I easily customized and added a floating Do Not Sell button and modal on my website to allow visitors to exercise their rights and opt-out of personalized advertisements.

Very simple setup to get the required ‘Do Not Sell’ option available for my site visitors. Easy to use interface and looks great on my website. Would recommend for anyone else looking for a simple plug-in to help with the CCPA requirements.

After reading about the new CCPA requirements I needed an easy way to add a Do Not Sell button to my website. This CookiePro plugin makes it simple to add the floating button or link to my site and it didn’t require any development! It looks great and it’s incredibly easy to use. Anyone looking to add a Do Not Sell button to their website should install this plugin.

Was setup in just a few minutes. Very easy way to just install this plugin on your site and add a Do Not Sell link to comply with the CCPA toll free requirement as well as do not sell to auto block cookies and “Selling data” from loading on your site. Well done!
