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.

WP PlugIndex currently records YouPickBest – Ranking Polls for Posts version 1.1.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Give readers something to do when they reach the end of your post. A YouPickBest ranking shows two options at a time — two films, two games, two countries — and the reader picks one. After a few rounds they see which option your readers put first overall.
Paste a ranking link on its own line in the editor, and WordPress turns it into the poll. No account, no settings.
Can’t find your topic? best — its link embeds the same way.
What the plugin does
Shows the full widget: links inside it open normally, and each reader’s picks are remembered on their device.
Sizes the widget to its content, so there is no empty space or inner scrollbar.
After activation, shows a one-time notice with a “Create a test post” button: it opens a draft with a ranking already in place.
What it does not do
No tracking, no cookies, no data collection by the plugin — and the embedded widget itself sets no cookies either.
No settings screens.
The “Browse rankings” links in the notice and on the Plugins screen carry a campaign tag (utm), so we can count visits that start in the plugin. Nothing is sent unless you click.
External services
best), a ranking and voting platform. The connection is needed to render the ranking poll inside your posts.
What is sent and when:
When WordPress renders a post containing a YouPickBest ranking link, your web server requests the embed details from https://youpick.best/api/oembed and sends the ranking URL. No visitor data is included in this server-side request.
When a visitor views such a post, their browser loads the widget from youpick.best. Like any embedded content, this request carries standard technical data (IP address, browser user agent) and the address of the embedding page, which YouPickBest uses for per-site vote statistics.
When a visitor votes inside the widget, their picks and a random token generated by the widget (used to remember the vote on that device) are sent to youpick.best. The widget sets no cookies and sends no personal or account data.
