Biggest opportunity: “captcha”, “elementor” and “math captcha” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 3K of 23.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,268 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| captcha your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| elementor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| math captcha your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| recaptcha your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wordpress plugin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Roy Orbitson1.7y ago
The code this is based on (ebcaptcha), and thus this plugin, only disable the submit button in client-side JavaScript. For humans, this is easily bypassed using the DOM inspector. For bots, it has no effect at all because they POST form data directly, and don’t actually use the form like human would. There is no server-side validation. This makes forms appear to be protected, and slows down real humans, but fails at its primary purpose.

Es kommen genau so viele Spam-Mails wie ohne diesese Plugin. Ich sehe keinerlei Wirkung. Außerdem ist mit den beschränkten Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, keine vernünftige und optisch ansprechende Integration möglich.

Simple, functional. Does what is says. And configurable (like, remove the multiplication puzzle, which might be too complicated for some 🙂 thank you

Very good concept, very easy to use, no Google reCAPTCHA keys required, but, would be nice if we could add a custom label and could control the width of input text field.

I had sent a message to Albano Toska to know if it was possible to enable only addition and subtraction, and he added this feature the same day, I just needed to update the plugin to take advantage of it 🙂

Быстро решили нестандартную проблему с плагином … спасибо

This protection is just javascript-wise without serverside re-validation of the input. It just adds an additonal obstacle to a real user. Additional it looks ugly and has no predefined styling options available. It doesn’t stop any serios spam bot. In its current state, this plugin is useless.
