Biggest opportunity: “ip track voting”, “post like” and “post vote” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 5.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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
63/100Maintenance 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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

| post vote your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Hello Aendrew This is a basic Voting plugin with limited features integrated. We have made some custom voting plugins with much much advanced features and those cant be provided free of cost cause we have given enough effort and time to develop. This basic voting plugin seems to be a better option for free use and if somebody want an advanced plugin with advanced features we can provide them custom made paid plugins. That seems to be the normal thing every plugin developer do. Within these features this plugin is so nice and working well. Syam Dmitri Tech Solutions

Decent if you want a simple “vote” button for logged-in users. Doesn’t have the ability to let anonymous users vote. Not much customization beyond button label colour. No shortcode or other function for displaying the voting button, meaning you’re stuck with either the beginning and/or end of posts. By default works on all content types, has ability to limit it to just posts. Little support for custom post types — if you want voting on a custom post type but not posts or pages, you’re out of luck.
