Biggest opportunity: Add “gdpr compliance” to your wp.org tags. You rank #24 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →8.9%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 44.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.2%, across 502 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent 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 1 release 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Add “gdpr compliance” to your wp.org tags. You rank #24 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.
- One page off on “gdpr”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “maps”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Wirklich ein super Plugin und das sogar kostenfrei. Danke dafür und die tolle Arbeit, die hier reingesteckt wurde. Was ich vermisse ist (ja, ich hab’s gelesen) dass ich einen abweichende/n Standort/e als Karten platzieren könnte. Stichwort Filiale z.B. Da würde ich schon mal Interesse aufzeigen. Liebe Grüße This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by Badadminfromhell.

Ich würde alle Sterne vergeben, egal wieviele es gibt. Das Tool ist einfach, funktioniert und ist dazu noch kostenfrei. Das nehme ich dafür auch gerne in meine Datenschutzerklärung auf. Klar, es gibt immer Ideen, die ein Tool noch besser machen, aber das ist ja jedem offen. Also bleibt mir nichts weiter als “Danke” zu sagen. Grüße

Ich bin begeistert, dass dieses hilfreiche Plugin kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Es hat uns sehr weiter geholfen! Die Installation und Konfiguration ist sehr einfach. Mit ein paar Klicks funktioniert alles. Super finde ich, dass Farben und Texte des Platzhalters an die eigene Homepage angepasst werden können. Für diesen gut durchdachten kleinen Helfer gerne 5 Sterne! :o)

I needed a quick and simple way to embed a Google Map with a two-klick solution. Super easy to customize and to implement!
