Biggest opportunity: Swap “captcha” for “gforms”. “captcha” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “gforms” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →15%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 6.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms 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 2 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.

Thank you, Very much
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ kirebrow1.3y ago
I’ve tried other plugins to integrate Cloudflare Turnstile with Gravity Forms, but nothing even came close to working—until I found Enable Turnstile (Cloudflare) for Gravity Forms. Setup was a breeze: I entered my site and secret keys, enabled the field in my form, and it just worked—no errors, no conflicts, no extra fuss. This is the only WordPress plugin I found that actually got Turnstile functioning perfectly on my Gravity Forms setup. The developer clearly put a lot of thought into seamless integration and clean code, and it shows in the rock‑solid performance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, no‑nonsense solution. I’m so impressed that I plan to donate to the author for his hard work and commitment to quality. Thank you!

This is a great plugin which works on my website without any problem. Just install it, get the keys and drop the element on your form (drag and drop). Many thanks to the developer to provide this integration! This is the only plugin that really works. I used another plugin before but had some issues, e.g., submit button was disabled after pressing submit when required fields were missing, also, GeoIP-Location did not work when cloudflare turnstile was enabled, etc. Now, with this plugin, everything works! THANKS!
