Install conversion
How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 613 lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Security plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,061 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Security 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| bot blocker your tag | #24 | #23 | down 6 |
| spam word blocker | #19 | #22 | 0 |
| anti spam your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| firewall your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| honeypot your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| security your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

What to do about it
- Slipping on “bot blocker”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-27, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- “anti spam”, “firewall” and “honeypot” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
