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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Guardian Gaze has completely changed how I approach WordPress security. As someone who manages multiple sites, having a plugin that combines AI-assisted backdoor detection with real-time malware scanning in one clean dashboard is genuinely invaluable. The AI-based scanner is outstanding. It identified obfuscated malicious code that traditional signature-based tools completely missed. The file integrity monitoring runs continuously in the background, the login protection stopped brute force attempts almost immediately after setup, and the IP management panel gives you precise control over traffic filtering without any complexity. What sets it apart from everything else I have tried is that it is built by RedSecLabs, an actual cybersecurity research team. The detection logic is backed by continuous threat intelligence updates, which means it keeps up with evolving attack techniques rather than becoming outdated after a few months. Performance impact is negligible, setup takes minutes, and the dashboard presents everything clearly whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer. It has saved me countless hours of manual security auditing and given me genuine confidence that my sites are protected around the clock. If you are serious about WordPress security, Guardian Gaze is not just a good choice, it is the right one.
