Biggest opportunity: Swap “anti spam”, “comments” and “comment plugin” for “comment management”, “comment protection” and “comment”. “anti spam” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “comment management” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “comments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “comment protection” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “comment plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “comment” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 37.4K 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “anti spam”, “comments” and “comment plugin” for “comment management”, “comment protection” and “comment”. “anti spam” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “comment management” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “comments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “comment protection” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “comment plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “comment” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “comment plugin”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles17 of the last 25 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 8 of those landed between 2016-05-23 and 2016-05-28.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

I switched to GraphComment to improve my site’s comment section, and it work fine. It makes conversations so much easier to follow, even with lots of replies. What Is best : Clean interface : Looks great and keeps everything organized. Useful features : Sorting and reactions make comments more engaging. Easy import : Did a rapid import of my old comments from WP. Helps me manage comments quickly and easily. Overall, an awesome plugin that I’d recommend to anyone who wants to boost discussions on their site.

If you want to use the voting function, you must pay. Not free voting plugin. You must pay for voting function. If you do not pay, WordPress default comment function is better than this. If you want voting, you must pay. Not free. No. Not free.
