WP Comment Cleaner – Delete All Comments, Disable Comments, Bulk Delete & Remove Comments

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

111 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 71 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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.

Crossed into this band 14 months ago; the previous band took 3.2 years to cross, which places it about 64% of the way through.

13 of the last 24 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 7 of those landed between 2025-07-10 and 2025-07-25.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   can’t delete comments if you have more than 500 with the free one. You can’t even delete the first 500. Thrash. WP Bulk Delete will do it for free, fyi.

   After activation, the plugin ask you add “premium key” or active free version then ask to connect via Freemius. And, after all you only can delete 500 comments.
