Block/blacklist known (and custom) spam referring domains at the WordPress level with an HTTP 403 Forbidden page.
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 Referer Spam Blocker version 0.4 as active, updated 3y ago and without a listed Tested up to version.
Referer spam has been growing and clogging up website analytics data (such as Google Analytics) with fraudulent traffic statistics. Millions of users are reporting issues and it has become a major nuisance.
Block these malicious sites easily. All major referer spam domains blocked out of the box and you can customize the domain keyword lists to block any domains you wish. Brought to you by the team of WordPress experts at WP Maintainer.
WordPress.org does not currently provide a Tested up to version that WP PlugIndex can compare with WordPress 7.1.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
