GDPR Tools: comment ip removement

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 · 83% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers say it does the one job they wanted, quietly deleting comment IP addresses on a schedule so they don't have to do it by hand.

   This plugin seems to work very smooth. I have used it for a couple of months without experiencing any problems due to it. Having a plugin deleting ip-addresses after some time instead of regularily doing manual deletion is labour saving and reliable. I am very satisfied.

   Da das regelmäßige Löschen von den IP-Adressen der Kommentaren seit dem inkrafttreten der DSGVO ja Pflicht ist, ist dieses Plugin ideal.

   I’ve been searching for something this simple for ages. The problem I have is I do not want my readers revealing their location when they make a comment – in my opinion, sending the ip is a security flaw (I’ve not had any issues but am glad I’ve got this now)
