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. 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.

   I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and I’m very impressed. It is lightweight, does exactly what it promises, and makes GDPR compliance much easier to handle on WordPress. If you are looking for a reliable cookie consent solution that doesn’t bloat your site, this is the one! Highly recommended!

   Simple, hassle-free, and completely free to use, no signups, no extra charges. Just the way it should be.

   What I liked most is that it works smoothly on multilingual sites, and you can easily translate everything without running into issues. It also gives you a great head start by listing common third-party services (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, YouTube, etc.) so you can quickly define which cookies your site uses and what category they belong to. That alone saves a lot of time and confusion. The interface is simple but effective — not overloaded with options, just what you need. For a free plugin, it goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for a clean and reliable way to handle cookie consent and policies, this is definitely worth trying.

   Starting from the developer and then the support provided, this is definitely the best free plugin to be compliant with the GDPR regarding cookies. Simple to configure and super effective. Thanks Jonk!
