How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    All you have to do is install the plugin, activate it, and you’re done! This plugin does exactly what I was looking for. 100% satisfied

    I installed and quickly tested this plugin. With the plugin activated and excluding no pages, I can still take screenshots using Ctl-Alt-PrtSc and paste the screenshot image into another program. So, I’ve uninstalled this plugin. If you can add the ability to prevent this, I will be happy to update the rating in my review. Another content protection plugin is able to block the screenshot capability in the browser (at least on desktops). I’m looking for a more lightweight plugin to replace the other content protection plugin, which is causing a warning message to appear in Google PageSpeed Insights – something about about dynamic scrolling being disabled. Hoping I can find one. *EDIT: updated to four stars as I realise a lot of people probably don’t need to disable printscreen copy functionality to protect their work.
