Biggest opportunity: Swap “ccpa” for “quantcast”. “ccpa” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “quantcast” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 69.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.2%, across 502 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.18.

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 |

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

We use this plugin in all our business sites here a EU for RGPD Law & for comply Adsense T&C, and works like charm. Thanks a lot to developers 😉 !! This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by ibiza69.

the plugin slows dowh the website and even blocks it. and i don’t know why the consent link has to appear on every page and even within the admin pages, this makes no sense at all !!!! even if you can hide the link on the frontend by adding a little css: .qc-cmp-persistent-link {display:none;}

Easy to install, featuring French among other languages, and working perfectly out of the box. An elegant and intuitive solution that, so far, does the trick without bearing on my site’s performance. Thanks!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ wpos8.3y ago
I will give it five stars whenever the devs will fix the loading time of the website. Without the plugin my website loads in 0.80 – 0.85 seconds. After I activate the plugin the loading time drops to 1.35 – 1.40 seconds. If I deactivate the plugin is gonna get back to 0.8. I can understand if is loading slower before the user accepts the GDPR terms. But even after this the website drops in speed. I have no idea why this is happening and I have no idea if a website initial load is 4 seconds if is gonna drop to 6. This is just my experience with the plugin, and except that loading time, wow, man what a plugin. If you guys don’t care about the speed this is a 5 star GDPR plugin. Thank you.
