Rename wp-login.php to anything you want

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 · 100% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Prima plugin. Gewoon noodzakelijk voor wordpress. Om hem nóg beter te maken: auto-add blacklisted ip’s / ip-ranges.

   ok so now at this stage, this plugin has great potential. there are a lot like this plugin with definite more downloads but this one is simple and straight to the point. it does what it says and that’s all i need. yes some other plugins are compatible with other login or wp customizing plugins, but why? all you need is to customize your login so here is a great simple plugin that does just that. i think this guy has a lot of potential in making a lot of better improvements and they will definitely take over Africa. (he will do great things)
