Biggest opportunity: Swap “antispam” and “comments” for “tor blocker” and “antispam protection”. “antispam” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tor blocker” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “comments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “antispam protection” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
Not scored yet. Nobody has reviewed this plugin, so a grade would come from directory averages rather than from anything measured here.
Install conversion
How it's measured →15%
of downloads still active
At least 20 of 134 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Security plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,059 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.
