reCAPTCHA for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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 · 94% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   Initially this plugin seemed to be exactly what I needed. Free of charge, a simple interface, ability to apply reCAPTCHA to guests only, etc. But I’ve decided to not use it for the following reasons: It only supports Google reCAPTCHA v2, which has become less and less effective. I needed to not have a reCAPTCHA for certain payment methods, which was supported, but it didn’t work. When I switched payment methods to one of the ones that should be skipped, the reCAPTCHA stayed. Refreshing the page didn’t help. I’d like to rate this at 3½ stars, but will round down because of the lack of v3 support.
