WPS Hide Login

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

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 · 98% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers like how fast the setup is and say it cuts bot login attempts without slowing the site, though a few want more settings and one says the hidden URL got found within hours.

   Does exactly what it says. Setup took 30 secs, no brainer. Only thing is it doesn’t block attacks fully, just hides the url. Not a complete security solution but still pretty useful tbh

   Was getting tons of spam logins everyday. Installed this & changed my url in 1 min. Bots r completely gone cz they cant find the login page anymore! Super light so no site slowdown. Feeling way safer tbh.

   Good for changing the login URL fast. It worked for me, cz bots slowed down a bit. But settings are very limited, so I’d say it’s useful, not perfect.

   Nice small plugin for hiding the default login page. Setup was quick and it worked right away. Not many options, but for basic use it’s pretty good.

   Easy to set up and it works fine for hiding the login page. Gave me some peace of mind. But it feels very basic and I wish it had a few more useful settings.

   WPS Hide Login is easy to set up and does the basic job. Changed the login URL without hassle. But not much control or extra features. Felt a bit too simple for full security needs.

   Works well for hiding the login URL. Setup was easy, no issues so far. Helps a bit with security, cz bots can’t find wp-login easily. Not super advanced, but it does the job. tnkz devs
