WPS Limit 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

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 · 100% 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.

   Seemed a useful plugin but after a few months it stopped working. The support forum is virtually void of any developer comment so it looks like this plugin is abandoned. Kind of them to make it free but pointless if it doesn’t work.

   VASTLY SUPERIOR to Limit Login Attempts Reloaded, which constantly locked me and my clients out of websites when correct login was submitted. Also have you seen their plugin config screen? Nothing tons of pointless spammy “options” that no one ever asked for. This plugin doesn’t do that. It gets to the point. No false positives so far.

   As opposed to other plugins, this one does just what we need, without the bloated premium features. It’s fast and efficient. Thx to the developpers ! This topic was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by dw4y.

   This plugin is very good, but there is not option to add all the blocked ip (in logs) to the blacklist section or some option for automatic IP blocking. The logs can’t be exported to Excel for the ip extraction to add them to blacklist manually. This topic was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by freezer27.
