Biggest opportunity: Swap “content protection” and “image protection” for “right click” and “content theft”. “content protection” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “right click” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image protection” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “content theft” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.6%

of downloads still active

At least 400 of 25.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.
