Biggest opportunity: Swap “alert” for “adults only”. “alert” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “adults only” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 16.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.

Recent review vibe
read from the latest 5 reviews to 2023-03-23Most reviewers call it fast and easy for building a simple disclaimer popup, though the newest one wants per-notice styling, page targeting and position control, and an earlier reviewer says it broke their site's CSS.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| disclaimer your tag | #4 | #19 | up 14 |
| post disclaimer | #2 | #16 | 0 |
| popup alert box | #14 | #24 | 0 |
| adults only | #23 | #20 | down 1 |
| alert your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| modal your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| note your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| popup your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
13 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 9 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “alert” for “adults only”. “alert” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “adults only” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Works fine, good for quick and easy disclaimers, but it’s very bare-bones. The display customisation affects all notices, it’s not on a per-notice basis. Can’t seem to change screen position of notice, it must be at the top. Notice content is created using the vanilla WP post editor only. Displays disclaimer on all pages, can’t select only a few to display on. But it does work! 🙂

Really well developed plugin! I needed a plugin to quickly create a popup for age acceptance. Fast and lightweight. I was surprised by the cookie duration management. I recommend it!
