How it's measured →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 38.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “adult content”, “adults only” and “brewery” (#4, #4 and #4 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Had an issue with the plugin and I contacted support and they had it fixed very quickly. Plugin is exactly what I needed and the support is amazing. Thank you!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dominakiara4.3y ago
If you have an adult site, you want to have your adult content NOT visible to minors. The way to do this is to have a popup to block out the ENTIRE site, not just gray it out. People can see all of the adult images on my site without clicking ‘enter.’ This topic was modified 4 years ago by dominakiara.

On my phone the warning is at the bottom of the page, like any page I go, the warning is there. Edit.. after the quick reply/fix from these guys which is good. It is working much better, sometimes shows up twice, as I agree to enter once, goes away and shows up again, but no be big deal, even tho it should work perfectly I think. Thank you This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by sarahrous.

This plug-in works well and does exactly what it says. It takes less than 60 seconds to set up properly and will automatically connect to your site and give you the verification pop-up you need to keep your site legally protected. Thank you – to the makers! This app is just what I needed.
