Gravity Forms Zero Spam

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I installed this recently on a client site and it works very well! It blocked a lot of spam, and let the good messages through. And I like that I can check and see what was blocked. I hope you keep this going.

   Most of the popular spam filters don’t block manual entries. I used to use another plugin that lets you manually choose to block an IP address if you determine that it’s spam, and that was semi useful, but took too much time monitoring. We had a client who was getting 5-10 spam messages a day and we installed this and it stopped. They are still getting legitimate messages but the spam has stopped. We’re still monitoring it to see if this keeps up, but so far this is a miracle worker. Thanks for whoever made this plugin!

   This plugin is a bit too agressive. It got rid of all the spam, but also flagged a lot of valid submissions as spam. I’ve now added this plugin to my “evil plugins, never use” list.

   I have had this plugin running on a number of client sites for several months now, ever since I learned of it. After monitoring its performance across a handful of sites, I am so delighted at how well it filters out form-submitted spam. Amazing! And it is so easy to install. No configuration necessary. Simplicity and functionality for the win. Highly recommend!
