详情介绍:
Rank Forge is a modern SEO plugin built around a single insight: an SEO score is only useful if it tells you exactly what to do next. The post-edit metabox gives you a 0-100 SEO score, a SERP preview, focus-keyword analysis, and an editable meta title / description / schema — all from one screen, with no account or API key required.
Everything in the Free plugin runs locally on your site: schema markup, XML sitemap, robots.txt, the redirect + 404 manager, image SEO (auto alt text), local business schema, and video schema. The optional Pro add-on layers AI on top — one-click AI meta generation, content optimization, and schema detection — plus Google Search Console, Site Audit, A/B testing and auto internal links.

常见问题:
Will Rank Forge conflict with Yoast or Rank Math?
No. Rank Forge detects the active SEO plugin and suppresses its own meta output until you fully migrate. Use Rank Forge → Migration when ready.
Does the SEO score use AI?
The score itself is deterministic (keyword density, readability, internal links, image alt, etc.). AI is only used for generation actions (meta, schema, content expansion) when you click "Generate with AI".
How are redirects stored?
In a custom table (wp_rankforge_redirects) — not in wp_options like some plugins. This avoids the autoload-bloat that hurts your TTFB.
更新日志:
1.1.12
- This release needs Rank Forge Pro 1.2.5 or newer if you run the add-on. The licence screen, the upgrade prompt and the upgrade banner moved into the separate Rank Forge Pro add-on; this plugin only notes which features the add-on provides, with a link to its product page. An older add-on stays switched off until it is updated, and an admin notice names both versions. Nothing already saved is changed.
- The post editor shows no AI buttons unless the add-on runs them — no locked "AI" buttons and no upsell dialog. One line under the SEO title and description says where the AI suggestions come from.
- Settings no longer link to an upgrade: the AI, auto internal linking and Google Search Console sections say that they come with the add-on.
- The screens the add-on provides (Google Search Console, Site Audit, Content Brief) name it, with a link, instead of showing a locked page.
- The PRO badge in the menu and in the section tabs marks a screen the Rank Forge Pro add-on provides and this site does not have. It follows whether the add-on is installed, not the licence.
- The screens the add-on provides check for it themselves before they open, not only through the menu entry that leads to them. No visible change.
- The wordpress.org package no longer loads bundled translation files it does not carry: its translations arrive as language packs, which WordPress loads by itself.
- No change in this package: the release updated parts that ship only in the edition distributed through avakode.com.
- Screens that need the paid add-on now check that its code is actually installed instead of trusting the licence. On a site whose licence is live but whose add-on is inactive or older than this release, the Search Engine Submission panel, the AI actions in the editor, the content optimiser and the automatic internal links could end a request with a fatal error; they now fall back to what this plugin does on its own.
- The price badge on AI buttons is drawn only where the credits widget exists, so the button itself no longer depends on it.
- Deleting the last Forge product on a site now clears the job queue the Forge plugins share — its table, its two scheduled events and its version marker. While any other Forge product is still installed, deleting this one leaves the queue exactly as it is, because the pending jobs in those rows are that product's too.
- A Rank Forge Pro add-on older than 1.2.0 is switched off instead of left running on an entitlement this version can no longer check, and an admin notice names the version you have, the version you need and what is unavailable until you update. Nothing already published is rewritten and your settings are kept.
- No change in this package: the release updated parts that ship only in the edition distributed through avakode.com.
- No change in this package: the release updated parts that ship only in the edition distributed through avakode.com.
- Smaller package and one less admin surface: the SDK’s own menu, opt-in screen and promotional notices are gone.
- No change in this package: the release updated parts that ship only in the edition distributed through avakode.com.
- No change in this package: the release updated parts that ship only in the edition distributed through avakode.com.
- Generated CSS and JavaScript is assembled as a string instead of being captured through an output buffer, so the plugin no longer opens a buffer that another component's hook could interleave with.
- Menu pages decide what to show by whether the class that renders them is loaded, not by asking the licence. Redirects and Local SEO ship in this download and now open with no check at all.
- The custom canonical tag is now printed directly at its hook. The plugin used to buffer the entire head output between two hooks so competing canonical tags could be stripped from it; that buffer is gone. WordPress core's canonical is still suppressed while a per-post custom canonical is set, and Yoast's through its filter, so the URL you set is still the one that ships.
- Every value handed from PHP to inline JavaScript is JSON-encoded with hex escaping for the characters that could end a script block, so translations and settings can never terminate the tag they sit in.
- The bulk AI-fix endpoint no longer raises the PHP memory limit — its capped, sequential work never needed the headroom.
- Removed an unused helper that assigned window globals.
- CSS and JavaScript that screens build from PHP state now go through the WordPress enqueue API instead of being written into the page as tags, so other code can deregister, reorder or defer them.
- Filenames: uploads are cleaned only for images, and only for files you actually upload. The rule used to apply to every filename WordPress touched, and it stripped non-Latin scripts entirely — a file named in Russian, Japanese or Greek came out as a timestamp. Accented Latin now transliterates, and a name that leaves nothing behind is kept as WordPress sanitised it. Add 'image_filename_cleanup' => false to the settings to turn it off.
- The sitemap stylesheet is located from the plugin's own file rather than a hardcoded directory name, so it resolves whatever folder the plugin is installed under.
- Publishing robots.txt no longer empties the whole LiteSpeed cache; only the robots.txt URL is purged.
- The plugin is now called Rank Forge. Nothing about what it does has changed; the name did.
- Everything the old name stored is carried over on first load: the analysis, redirect and breadcrumb tables, every setting, and the SEO fields on every post. Redirects keep working, stored analyses stay, and the meta on your posts stays. If the takeover is interrupted it resumes on the next request rather than half-applying.
- Scheduled jobs left under the old names are unscheduled, and the old cached values are dropped so they regenerate under the new ones.
- Removed the last licence checks that stood over code shipped in this download. The settings screen asked the licence before writing two flags, "auto_meta" and "internal_links_enabled" — neither was ever read by anything, while the meta generation they appeared to control (title and description templates, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags; no external calls) is part of this plugin and has always run for everyone. Both flags are gone rather than merely ungated.
- Auto internal linking, Search Console and Site Audit now show as unavailable based on whether their implementation is loaded, not on a licence call. Those three are implemented in the separate add-on and are not present here, so nothing shipped is being withheld.
- The Site Audit screen guarded itself with a plan check; it now checks for the class it needs, which is what actually decides whether the page can render.
- No change in this package: the release updated parts that ship only in the edition distributed through avakode.com.
- The broken-link scanner is now part of this plugin with no restriction. It was marked Pro while its whole implementation shipped here — the crawler, the SSRF-hardened request wrapper and the results screen — which meant built-in functionality was gated. Internal link suggestions remain a separate add-on feature, because that code genuinely is not in this download.
- Removed licence checks that could never fail: image SEO, Local SEO, redirects, the Schema Builder and Video SEO have been free since the 2026-05-29 rebalance, but the code still asked for a licence and the readme still listed several of them as Pro.
- Availability of add-on features is now decided by whether the add-on is installed, not by a licence call.
- Security hardening: all dynamic output is now escaped late at the output site with the context-appropriate function (esc_html/esc_attr/esc_url, esc_html__ for translated strings used as format strings, and wp_kses for trusted pre-built admin/field markup). No behavioural changes.
- Security: hardened JSON-LD structured-data output (schema, breadcrumbs, local business, video) against script-context breakout by escaping
<,>and&(JSON_HEX_TAG / JSON_HEX_AMP). - Fix: Organization structured data no longer emits an empty "description" property when the site tagline is unset.
- New: Support menu item that opens the Avakode support dashboard.
- New: Contextual, dismissible Pro feature tips on the plugin dashboard (Free users only).
- Numbers / power words in the SEO title are now shown as optional "Optimization ideas" instead of issues — they affect click-through, not Google rankings.
- Clearer one-time setup guidance for the Google Indexing API ("Submit to Google Index").
- WordPress.org compliance and code-quality improvements.
- Fixed: the XML sitemap no longer 301-redirects to a trailing slash, so Google Search Console can fetch the sitemap index.
- Kept Rank Forge admin submenus accessible when multiple Forge plugins are active.
- Fix: Rank Forge admin sub-pages (Settings, Analytics, Content and Tools) now stay accessible when other Forge plugins are active alongside Rank Forge Pro.
- Security: the Google Account connection (Search Console / Analytics) now starts via a one-time token, so the license key is never placed in a URL.
- WordPress.org compliance and licensing hardening.
- Pro entitlement is now resolved by the Rank Forge Pro add-on; the free plugin bundles no licensing SDK.
- Removed a deprecated Google sitemap-ping request fired on publish.
- readme metadata cleanup.
- Initial release.
