Password Protect – Temporary Login Without Password & Password Protect Entire Site

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 · 91% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 200+ in roughly 387 days.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Unfortunately destroys the tab navigation of other plugins in the WP-Interface!For me it is Relevanssi and Statify. After disabling Smart Password Protect, everything works normally again.I have tested it several times. It is due to this plugin. This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by thommueller.

   If you’re working on a WordPress site in a staging or development environment, Smart Password Protect is the perfect tool. It allows you to keep your project secure with both password protection and IP whitelisting, ensuring only authorized users can view your content. The bot detection and anti-indexing features are a huge plus for keeping your site hidden from the public eye. This plugin is lightweight, easy to configure, and a fantastic addition to any WordPress developer’s toolkit! This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by Sobuj Mahamud.
