Biggest opportunity: “arabic”, “left right” and “performance” 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.
Not scored yet. Nobody has reviewed this plugin, so a grade would come from directory averages rather than from anything measured here.

How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 20 of 1.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,103 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| rtl ltr your tag | #1 | #8 | 0 |
| ltr | #2 | #11 | up 2 |
| arabic your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| left right your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| performance your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| switcher mode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “arabic”, “left right” and “performance” 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.
- Already on top for “ltr”. #2 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.
