Biggest opportunity: “composer”, “multilanguage” and “multilingual” 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.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 50 of 6.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Multilingual plugin keeps 0.8%, across 280 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Multilingual plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| falang your tag | #6 | #11 | 0 |
| composer your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| multilanguage your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| multilingual your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wpbakery your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Health trend
Composite health score, snapshotted daily
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

The perfect complement to falang when you’re using WPBakery. Having a translation-ready tab available for the huge majority of elements on a site saves a lot of time and helps keep everything organized. Highly recommended!

After the installation I started to translate with very easy different parts of my website made with WPBakery. When I needed help with extra WPBakery Elements, Stéphane willingly created them. It is very useful and easy to use. I recommend it to everyone
