Biggest opportunity: “block selection”, “content protection” and “disable content selection” 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.

How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 12.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| block selection your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| content protection your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| disable content selection your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| disable right click your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

Best content protect plugin
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ suge1w11.0y ago
Fantastic plugin, many thanks for the release! Would be so much better if an option was included to disable it for certain user roles such as Super Admin. There are times when I need to inspect some code and having to enable / disable constantly gets annoying. Apart from that niggling issue I’d recommend using it.

Good one! Very helpful

Unfortunately, I used this for at least 3 years, just checked it today and surprised to find that it stopped working. I had to add another plug in WP Content to disable right click. I still have jcwp copy paste blocker on my list of plug ins and it is still enabled. I am quite disappointed, how did this happen? Very uncool. On his facebook page, another user found that this was only working with Firefox browser. Responded that it was now updated. But still has problems, no wonder not many downloads. Anyone know how long it stopped working? That’s hella fked up. I have hundreds of visitors to my page every month from different countries.

It’s very easy to use and works fine on my laptop, but I can still select save as on my iphone and ipad. I would have given it 5 stars if this wasn’t the case.
