Termly – GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent Banner

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 · 62% 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.

   Cannot stand Termly anymore. I am changing NOW !! Have used it for almost 2 years. It ended up messing up all my SEO description, Google taking their banner text as description. Tried all solutions from Dev side. No one works, the worst is that support is not helping at all !!! Just reply message “we have receive your message and escalated”

   This plugin was a very simple, basic plugin doing 1 job and 1 job only. You installed it you knew what you were getting. Now it requires an account on a private company’s API. 0 features without an account.

   This dreadful plugin has enabled a bot in robots.txt file. It’s only by searching for the user agent name that I found out in a WordPress thread that this could be the culprit. Take my advice, delete the files in the database and use another Cookie plugin.

   This plugin apparently stopped working months ago – which is bad. But worse – we don’t recall seeing any warning or communication. For months we were relying on a plugin that turned itself off. And of course – we don’t notice because we are not new users. The new free version doesn’t meet our needs and is convoluted – so we have to select and install an alternative.
