Biggest opportunity: “copy protect”, “disable text selecting” and “protect your wordpress site” 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 1K of 40.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.28, well behind 6.8.

    I wanted to give bad review because I could not see the plugin after installing it. I did not read your Note “No configure needed for the plugin ‘WP Copy Protect’ automatically protect your blog After install and activated. To stop Copy protecting just de-active the plugin” Thanks This topic was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by BenAboud.
