Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 20+ in roughly 74 days.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I was struggling with spam and fake submissions on my WordPress contact forms.After installing NP FormShield, the problem was solved immediately. The plugin works automatically and does not use reCAPTCHA, which keeps the user experience smooth.What I really liked is the control it gives over form fields.I was able to allow and block specific words, restrict submissions by country code, prevent link based messages and stop bot spam completely. Setup was very easy and the plugin runs smoothly in the background without any performance issues.After using it myself and getting real results, I can confidently recommend NP FormShield to anyone who wants clean and secure contact forms on WordPress.

   The most useful feature of the NP FormShield plugin is the option to block and whitelist specific cities. Sometimes spam comes from the same place over and over again, using this option, I was able to block those cities very easily. Again, there was no false blocking by whitelisting cities or IPs that real users come from. Honestly, this feature is what made the plugin the most useful for me.

   I was regularly receiving spam form submissions on my WordPress website—all kinds of marketing messages, adult content, gambling links, and irrelevant inquiries. Because of this, it became very difficult to identify and respond to real customer leads. After installing the NP Formshield plugin, the situation improved significantly. This plugin has given my business strong and reliable protection against spam. This topic was modified 7 months, 1 week ago by hoaia.
