Biggest opportunity: “copyright protection”, “disable right click” and “prevent right click” 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.
Install conversion
How it's measured →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 10.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.

To be fair, this plugin should be called “Disable Right Click” and not “Disable Right Click and Content Copy Protection” because it doesn’t protect content from being selected and copied. I was surprised to see that I could still use Ctrl-C to copy and paste after using the mouse to select content. I thought maybe it wasn’t working properly in Firefox, so I tried in Chrome. Same issue. Both are latest versions. The title and description are misleading and waste time of people who rely on them to know what the plugin does. I’d be happy to update my review (or delete it) if you either: -rename the plugin to “Disable Right Click” and remove from the description that it “disables text selection” (because it doesn’t do that as far as I can see in both browsers). OR -add the functionality to prevent text selection because this alone will disable copying OR -add the functionality to prevent Ctrl-C because this alone will disable copying Before I uninstalled it, I didn’t even get to testing whether it prevents Ctrl-Alt-PrtSc copy functionality in the browser (another basic requirement for a plugin to prevent copying of content). I might be wrong but I’m guessing it doesn’t do that either. This topic was modified 6 years ago by ragrant0.

Very good plug-in to protect your efforts, without the junk code that does not do anything. Seamless integrated and lightweight. Does not allow to save photo’s or text without being offensive to visitors. Thank you! Stop the stealing. Recommended! This topic was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by deger62.
