Biggest opportunity: Swap “firewall”, “monitoring” and “protection” for “securing”, “cve” and “web security”. “firewall” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “securing” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “monitoring” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cve” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “protection” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “web security” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 700 of 97.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Security plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,059 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Security plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it

After a few years they created “new version” just to ditch lifetime users. Dishonest company, stay away.

I have two websites that run through Cloudflare/Ezoic and while support has been very nice coming back almost daily to try to resolve my issue. It appears that they simply can’t install their software on my websites. It’s shame. I got it to install on another website no problem but after over a month and many emails it appears there is no hope. They’ve logged on to my website more than twenty times to solve the issue and after a month there is still no way to resolve it. Had hope for this but I can see now this might not be the solution. I would rework your install process because obviously it’s not as good as other plugins which don’t require this much work around to try to get it to work. If they ever resolve my issues I will update the score to reflect that but right now I do not recommend.

WebTotem Security is an easy to use antivirus and firewall tool that is connected to the cloud to prevent hacking and attacks on a website. WebTotem support staff is fast and very nice. I have been using WebTotem for about six months now, and the WebTotem team has been very helpful in assisting me with any issues that I have had.

I purchased this plugin and really wanted to like it. Unfortunately it’s not been anywhere near as good as promised, and am now removing it from all my sites. The plugin shows lots of promise but missing some really key features – such as the ability to whitelist yourself. Have to contact customer support to do that. It’s also missing key features to make WordPress specifically more secure – and is a more generic kind of solution. All that said, the customer support team is superb. There’s lots of scope to grow. Hopefully the product matures into what it should be capable of being, as it could be a terrific addition to securing WordPress websites.
