Biggest opportunity: “content protection”, “copy protect” and “copyright” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 500 of 11.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| plagiarism | #21 | #10 | 0 |
| content protection your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| copy protect your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| copyright your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| duplicate your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image protection your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

easy to use tnx
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ seowebua4.6y ago
Decided to leave a review to encourage dev to keep it going. Out of the all similar plugins, this one is actually the easiest to use and it has the one option I was actually looking for – allowing to copy with the link to source. The only thing I would add to it would be an ability to add on copy a little popup with the message that content is indeed copyrighted and can be used with the proper link.

I was browsing others sites and noticed how easy it is to steal content. Searched WordPress for a plugin and installed this one. Clear instructions with simple settings. Was ready to use on install and have not adjusted anything! Great work!
