Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Mathlock Guard version 2.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.

Overview

About this plugin

Mathlock Guard protects your site’s public-facing content behind a lightweight math verification challenge. Visitors must correctly answer a simple arithmetic question before accessing your pages, providing an accessible, low-friction alternative to traditional CAPTCHA systems.

Site administrators and the login page remain fully accessible at all times, ensuring uninterrupted site management, while all other visitors, including logged-in users such as editors, authors, and subscribers, are required to pass the verification screen.
