Security Header Generator

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 · 61% 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.

   I was using another plugin that worked well overall, but it had a few limitations — the biggest being the inability to exclude the admin area from the policy. The old plugin applied CSP directly to the .htaccess file, which made editing straightforward, but that approach can also cause issues. I’m hopeful this plugin will continue to be updated and that not being able to see or manually edit the policy won’t cause problems down the line. Also, one thing I loved with the old plugin was the ability to receive email reports of violations. Hoping this becomes an option. Overall, great job! Edit: Dropping stars for now as finding some errors and lacking functions but will update if needed.
