eDarpan: Website Protection

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 · 10% 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 remember at the beginning of this year i used to use right click on some content protected websites by using a google chrome plugin this kind of plugins are easy to break… the only thing people can do is trying to search google to find if someone stole their content and then trying to report them if possible or send them an email to delete content

   I use this plugin to prevent my images to be stolen. But I’ve seen that in Firefox, without any plugin, you can pick for the second time and when you get the alert message, you can see a checkbox that allows to override the security of your plugin and then you can download original linked images. Email send to support, but after 3 days, no answer. Do not buy Pro version. It does not work with Firefox and it is a waste of money.

   I tried the free version of this plugin but needed to allow access to some pages so went for the upgrade and at first I couldn’t whitelist the pages I needed to so got onto support who were very helpful and it turns out it was my fault, so either way you have a good plugin but if you want to allow access to some pages go for the upgrade, see it working http://www.affordablewww.com

   I tired several copy protection scripts, but they all disabled the right-click button and many of my readers rebelled. They like to right-click on a link and open several recipes in their browser tabs and the other copy protection scripts prevented that. BUT, it is very easy to get around this script. All you have to do is turn off JavaScript and you can copy from the website to your heart’s content. Oh well. Ciao, L
