Biggest opportunity: “compliance”, “cookie consent” and “privacy policy” 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 measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 871 lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.1%, across 503 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent 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 4 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| silverstream | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| popia your tag | #4 | #8 | 0 |
| compliance your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cookie consent your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| privacy policy your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| south africa your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “compliance”, “cookie consent” and “privacy policy” 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.
- Already on top for “silverstream”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

Funny how South Africa struggles to make something that works for them. You have outdone yourselves, thank you Silverstream. We are compliant, thanks to you. Can we expect updates?

Thank you so much for this SilverStream. It is straight forward and it does all the work for us. We struggled to get an officer but that is sorted. Thank you so much. 5 Stars 🙂

I built the SilverStream Privacy Toolkit for POPIA because most compliance tools are either overcomplicated, expensive, or not really made for South African businesses. This plugin is designed to give you everything you actually need to get compliant, without sending your data off to third-party services or locking you into monthly subscriptions. Everything runs on your own website — simple, private, and under your control. You just fill in your business details once, and the plugin takes care of generating your core POPIA documents and setup from there. This is really good. Also love the checklist, never knew I had to have all those things in place, and now I have. Thanks SilverStream
