Biggest opportunity: “anti spam”, “user registration” and “wordpress security” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

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.

I have been searching for a long time for a solution to stop spamming on my WordPress site, and I finally found it with the Secure Signup plugin. This plugin has been a game-changer in blocking unwanted signups and spam. From the moment I installed Secure Signup, the difference was noticeable. The plugin is incredibly effective at filtering out spam signups, ensuring that only legitimate users can register on my site. The configuration was straightforward, and I was able to customize the settings to fit my specific needs. One of the standout features of Secure Signup is its robust security measures. It employs advanced algorithms to detect and prevent spam, providing a strong defense against automated bots and malicious users. The peace of mind knowing that my site is protected is invaluable. If you’re facing issues with spam signups, Secure Signup really shines here. I highly recommend this plugin to anyone dealing with similar problems. It has made a significant impact on my site’s security and user management. Secure Signup is a must-have for any WordPress site owner looking to block unwanted signups and enhance security. Five stars!

We used to have struggle controlling spam registration for our WordPress based course platform. We have tried many plugins before to try and block spam registration, but none actually worked for us. After using the Secure Signups plugin, we can now efficiently control the registration by whitelisting allowed domains. Since then, we have not seen any spam registration on our website. The plugin is also very easy to install and configure. The interface is very self-explanatory. Great work team! We are very happy and eager to see further development of the plugin!
