Cloud Maestro – WAF Security Suite for Cloudflare

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 · 100% 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 70+ in roughly 34 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.

   Perfect for applying a well-researched set of WAF rules for all my client websites, with the ability to customize those rules to meet our specific needs. Support has been fast and helpful. Well done.

   Hey, the plugin is good and does good work. I read some of the reviews too and i agree with there should be more control on the plugin page directly to customize what should be allowed/disallowed – that gives more flexibility on having the security plugin. Wonderful job btw!!I was curious if you can solve users don’t get managed challenge when they come from search engines as I noticed results from google also get managed challenge. Btw i was using a rule that skipped managed challenge for verified bots and with referrers and showed managed challange for hits with no referrer but somehow after a week some bad bots found a way to skipped that too 🙁Also, I couldn’t find this option – does these rules also skip MC for origin IP?

   The idea of this plugin is simple but quite effective. Having a comprehensive set of rules and a centralized WAF strategy helps a lot in mitigating server attacks while hosting many sites. And all still enjoying CF Free.
