Biggest opportunity: “messages”, “notifications” and “push” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

0.2%

of downloads still active

At least 10 of 4.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,786 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, well behind 7.1.

    giuseppecuttone mejora este problema que presenta el software que implementaste, yo no recomiendo bajo ningun punto tu plugin. Perdí mi tiempo en tu software. Saludos del país de MESSI. ¡¡¡ARGENTINA!! The worst of the worst: $ 3.99 just to test the software, it’s a waste of time. ATTENTION: Install another plugin to avoid wasting time with obsolete software not useful. I do not recommend it, I lost my super important time with obsolete software like this one, it does not allow to make free use, but taking into account that it is not useful if it does not own a free segment. License required, not useful to prove, not useful to work, denotes little seriousness. ATTENTION: Install another plugin to avoid wasting time with obsolete software not useful. No professional Plugins Not recommended. Install other plugins this is only payment and very, very, very limited. I will install a pluin that will allow me to install free license and free of charge regardless of if it is somewhat limited. ATTENTION: Install another plugin to avoid wasting time with obsolete software not useful. Best regards from Posadas, Misiones, Argentina. 😉

    This is the best push notification plugin. You can set it in 10 minuts using pushem.org service, and with a very very few money you can have very best features like: auto subscribers, buddypress compatibility, and so on… Very good support and very kindly people. Only one word: “AMAZING”.
