Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai”, “hardening” and “security” for “audit”, “security audit” and “core integrity”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “audit” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hardening” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “security audit” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “core integrity” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

How it's measured →8.6%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 2.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,010 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI 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 8 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.

Lockora has quickly become one of my favorites. The security audit is detailed without being overwhelming, and it identified several configuration issues and hardening opportunities that had gone unnoticed by other tools I had previously used. What impressed me most is the Claude AI integration. Instead of searching through documentation or trying to interpret technical findings on my own, I can simply ask the AI what a particular issue means, whether it’s a real risk, and how to fix it. The responses are accurate, practical, and save a tremendous amount of time. The plugin is lightweight, scans complete quickly, and the interface is clean and easy to navigate. If website security is important to you, Lockora is definitely worth installing.

I’ve tested a lot of WordPress security plugins over the years, and Lockora Security Audit is genuinely the best I’ve seen in a long time. The audit engine is thorough, fast, and easy to understand even if you’re not a security expert. It flagged a few hardening issues on my site that other tools completely missed, and the recommendations were clear and actionable. What really sets it apart is the AI connection to Claude. It works perfectly … I can ask questions about scan results in plain language and get smart, contextual explanations and fixes right inside the dashboard. It turns a normally tedious security review into something quick and almost enjoyable. Setup was painless, performance impact is negligible, and it just works. Highly recommended for anyone who takes their site security seriously. Five stars!

Lockora is I think the first WordPress security audit which can implement AI into your security audit automatically and it works beautifully. Not a real malware scanner but shows within seconds if your system has been altered and which steps you need to take to harden your installation. 5/5 !!
