Biggest opportunity: Add “prevention”, “fraud” and “fraud protection” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #12 and #13 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 8.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,166 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 7 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Saucal3.5y ago
Unfortunately, the architectural limitations of this plugin prevent HTML from being cached, unless overridden by a performance-oriented plugin that counteracts the default headers generated by PHP. When we contacted Kount’s Support team regarding this issue, their response was to rely on these additional plugins, which essentially act as patches for poorly coded plugins. In an ideal scenario, such plugins should not be necessary if everyone followed best practices. As of now, Saucal cannot confidently endorse this plugin for large-scale use, as it still relies on an external dependency to achieve acceptable performance. In order for us to reconsider our stance, it is imperative that the plugin’s architecture is thoroughly revised, eliminating the need for stock PHP sessions.
