详情介绍:
Rank Forge is an SEO plugin built around one idea: a score is only useful if it tells you what to do next. The box under the editor of every post gives you an SEO score from 0 to 100, a Google-style SERP preview, focus keyword analysis, and editable SEO title, meta description and schema, all on one screen. No account and no API key are required.
Everything in the Free plugin happens on your own site: schema markup, XML sitemap, robots.txt, the redirect + 404 manager, image SEO (auto alt text), local business schema, and video schema. The only requests it makes are the two listed under External services: the Broken Links scan, when you start it and once a night, and the check of your own site's robots.txt. 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.
Images and local search are covered too. Image SEO adds alt text made from the file name when you upload a picture and shows a reminder in the media library when a picture has none. Local Business schema takes your address, phone number and opening hours. Video SEO adds VideoObject schema and a video sitemap. For WooCommerce stores, Rank Forge adds Product schema to product pages.
Switching from another SEO plugin
While Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO or SEOPress is active, Rank Forge takes that plugin's meta description, robots, social and schema tags off the page and prints its own, so the two do not print duplicate tags; the other plugin's search engine verification codes stay. The migration tool imports titles, descriptions, focus keywords, canonical URLs, robots settings and social fields from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO and SEOPress, working directly from the database. The SEOPress importer also brings over redirects.

常见问题:
Will Rank Forge conflict with my current SEO plugin?
No. While another SEO plugin is active, Rank Forge takes that plugin's duplicate meta description, robots, social and schema tags off the page and prints its own; the other plugin's search engine verification codes stay. Use Rank Forge → Migration when you are ready to bring its data over.
Can I migrate my existing Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO or SEOPress data?
Yes. The migration tool imports titles, descriptions, focus keywords, canonical URLs, robots settings and social fields from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO and SEOPress, and the SEOPress importer also imports redirects. It reads the database directly, so the other plugin does not have to be running.
Does Rank Forge work with WooCommerce?
Yes. It adds Product schema to WooCommerce product pages. The Pro add-on also audits your most recent products for titles, descriptions, focus keywords and alt text.
Is there a free version?
This plugin is the free version. It includes the SEO score, SERP preview, focus keyword analysis, XML sitemap, robots.txt editor, schema markup with the visual Schema Builder, redirects with a 404 log, broken-link scanner, image SEO, local business schema and video SEO. AI features, Google Search Console, site audit, A/B testing and automatic internal links are in the separate Rank Forge Pro add-on.
Do I need an API key of my own for the AI features?
No. The free plugin needs no account and no API key. The AI features belong to the Pro add-on and run through the Avakode service on Forge credits, so there is no key of your own to paste.
Does the SEO score use AI?
No. The score is deterministic: keyword density, readability, internal links, image alt text and similar checks. AI is used only for generation actions, such as meta text, schema or content expansion, when you click the AI button of the Pro add-on.
How are redirects stored?
In a custom table, wp_rankforge_redirects, not in wp_options. This avoids the autoload bloat that slows down your server response time.
更新日志:
1.5.0
- AI fixes and suggestions: when the answer to a paid AI request is lost on its way back to your browser (a dropped connection, a timeout), repeating the request now gives you that answer again instead of buying a new one. This covers Fix with AI, the bulk fix, the AI readiness check and the Local SEO texts. "Generate again" still asks for a new answer and says that it spends credits.
- Bulk fix and Fix all: when a run stops (credits used up, the AI still busy, a lost connection), what is already fixed stays fixed, the screen names the posts that are left, and the repeat asks only for those. After a stop, Fix all shows the number and the price of the issues left.
- Bulk fix no longer saves an empty or unchanged AI text over a post. A paid fix that could not be saved is kept, and the repeat saves it at no charge.
- The preview in the Fix drawer for several issues at once works again; it ended with an error.
- Counts read correctly in every language: "1 word", "2 words", "5 words" and the like are in the plural form of each language in the SEO checks, the Dashboard, the A/B and migration messages (15 languages).
- Uninstall removes the stored state of AI requests and the kept AI answers, with or without the "Delete Rank Forge data on uninstall" box.
- Needs Rank Forge Pro 1.2.5 or newer if you run the add-on, as before.
- Breadcrumbs: the WooCommerce shop page no longer raises a PHP warning on every visit. Its crumb shows the title of the page.
- Background jobs: on a site where WP-Cron is switched off (DISABLE_WP_CRON), queuing a job no longer sends the request that wakes WP-Cron. The site's own cron runner starts the job, as you set it up.
- Fixed: keep the uninstall choice compatible with older Free versions when only one package has been updated.
- Needs Rank Forge Pro 1.2.5 or newer if you run the add-on, as before.
- Uninstall keeps analyses, redirects, SEO metadata and settings unless "Delete Rank Forge data on uninstall" is selected. Google connection credentials are always removed.
- Removed unused Freemius integration code.
- Needs Rank Forge Pro 1.2.5 or newer if you run the add-on, as before.
- Broken Links: the scan now covers every published post (it used to read only the first 200). It works through them in small background jobs that carry on from one another and it runs by itself once a night. A scan that stopped before the end says "The last scan did not finish" and how far it got, a second press while a scan runs does not start another one, a link used in many posts is checked once per scan, and a link whose address has no host counts as broken.
- Broken Links: a link is no longer called broken when the check could not tell. A link whose host name could not be looked up right now, or that this server has no route to (often an IPv6-only host on a server without IPv6), is skipped and tried again at the next scan; a site that cannot check addresses safely (it needs the PHP cURL extension and no proxy server) says so instead of calling those links unreachable.
- Broken Links: each check looks the host name up once, goes ahead only when every address it gets is public, and connects to exactly those addresses. Links to local, private and other non-public addresses are skipped, now including the 100.64.0.0/10 and 198.18.0.0/15 ranges and IPv4 addresses written inside IPv6.
- Sitemap: password-protected posts, and posts whose canonical address points to another page, are left out of the maps and the index. A post whose canonical is written in another percent-encoding (a Cyrillic address, for example) stays in. The Video sitemap takes its description from the excerpt and then the title, and leaves out protected posts and posts with a canonical elsewhere.
- Sitemap: a site set to discourage search engines has no sitemap and robots.txt names none; Settings no longer links to a sitemap that would answer 404. A map the index does not announce answers 404 and is not cached.
- Sitemap: the addresses also work on sites with plain permalinks, the index answers right after the plugin is activated, and deactivating the plugin removes the rewrite rules of the maps.
- Sitemap: the cached maps are dropped when a post's noindex, canonical, video data or featured image is written by any means (an import, WP-CLI, the REST API), and when you change the "Show in search results" switch of a post type or the URL limit, not only when a post is saved. A bulk change drops them once.
- robots.txt: the physical robots.txt file that Rank Forge wrote is removed when the plugin is deactivated or deleted, only if it is still what Rank Forge wrote. The sitemap line is added unless your text already has the index line (a line for some other map no longer stands in for it), and the warning shown when robots.txt could not be written is printed again.
- Redirects: the automatic redirect made when a post's address changes uses the old address as it was, and the full 404 log takes a new frequent address instead of ignoring it.
- Redirects: a target that a browser would read as another site is no longer saved or followed:
http:/other.example,http:other.example,//with no host,/\other.example, or an address with a tab or a line break inside. A target written as//other.example/pageis an address on another host, so it needs "Allow redirect to external domain". Rules whose target ismailto:,tel:or another address that is not a web address no longer fire, and the Redirects list marks them. On a site in a sub-folder such as/blog, the address/blog-postis no longer taken for an address inside the folder. - SEO score: the "paragraph over 150 words" check follows one rule in the score and in the live figure in the editor, and the score stored for a post matches the editor's. Inline tags no longer cut a paragraph in two, a block-level tag or a blank line ends one, as WordPress reads it, so classic-editor posts score like their HTML. A post with no words left once its shortcodes are taken out no longer gets a word count.
- Image SEO: alt text made from a file name drops the size, the suffixes WordPress adds and its counter, in any order; a short number counts as a counter only after a size or a suffix.
- Descriptions: the
{{excerpt}}variable, the automatic description and the descriptions in the JSON-LD markup take the post text without its shortcodes instead of printing them as literal text, and a post that is one shortcode pair from start to end gets no description tag. - The page
<title>is escaped the same way as the meta title tag (Yoast still gets the raw text). - Meta generation: when the AI was asked and did not answer, the stored SEO title and description stay as they were and the editor says so; the preview no longer offers a plain title as if the AI had written it.
- Schema: WooCommerce's own BreadcrumbList is dropped where Rank Forge prints one, as its Product markup already was.
sameAsandopeningHoursof the Local Business markup are lists without empty items. - Schema Builder: text in a script other than Latin (Russian, Greek, Arabic, Hindi and so on) in the forms of FAQ, Product, HowTo and the other types was stored as a row of codes like
u041f…, and quotes and backslashes were lost. The data is now saved the way WordPress expects it. Entries saved before stay as they are: open the post, type the text in the form again and save to repair it. - Other SEO plugins: Rank Math's description, robots, social tags and schema and Yoast's robots and schema are taken off while Rank Forge is active, and WordPress's own robots rules for search results and embeds stay in place when Rank Math clears them. AIOSEO is handled through its own filters, and the description it adds to a home page tagline is cut out of its block so the page keeps one description. SEOPress's social tags are removed by name, only the ones Rank Forge prints itself (
fb:app_id,fb:admins,twitter:site,twitter:creator,og:localeandarticle:*stay). - Other SEO plugins: their search engine verification codes are kept, and the canonical of another plugin or of WordPress is removed only on a page where Rank Forge prints one, so an attachment keeps the canonical of WordPress, Lang Forge or Yoast.
- Import from another SEO plugin: when the import is not set to overwrite, it fills only empty fields and never clears noindex; the source's title separator is carried over; a post that already has a title of ours is no longer skipped whole, the title stays and the empty fields are filled. AIOSEO's tags are replaced in their real
#nameform, and the ones Rank Forge cannot fill are dropped with the text between them kept. - Sites that came from SEO Forge: a leftover
_seoforge_row no longer doubles a live_rankforge_field, and a one-time repair merges the rows that were doubled. It works through the posts in small windows under a lock and marks itself done only after a clean pass over all of them. - Deleting the plugin now also removes the term meta of categories and tags (noindex, nofollow, meta title and description), the Google Analytics property you chose and its label, the Search Console and Analytics connection flags, the Broken Links scan data and the flags of the rename repair. The robots.txt file Rank Forge wrote is removed too (only if it is still what Rank Forge wrote), also when the plugin is deleted while it is still active.
- Deactivating the plugin no longer leaves the hourly statistics event on the schedule, whether or not you agreed to usage statistics.
- New and reworded sentences are translated in all 15 languages.
- Needs Rank Forge Pro 1.2.5 or newer if you run the add-on, as before.
- Fixed: the title and description templates of categories, tags and custom taxonomies that were imported from Yoast SEO or Rank Math now apply to the archive of each term. Before, the archive ignored them and used the name and description of the term. A Meta Title or Meta Description typed on the term screen still comes first.
- Term archives keep their page number in the browser title. The new
{{page}}variable ("Page 2", from page 2 on) can stand anywhere in a title template; a term archive title without it gets the separator and "Page N" at its end from page 2 on. The import turns the Yoast%%page%%and the Rank Math%page%into{{page}}. - The import converts the other variables that Rank Forge has an equivalent for (such as the site tagline), removes the rest together with the separator next to them and lists in its report only what it removed. A variable that Rank Forge does not know is no longer printed with its braces in a title or description, as long as its name is made of letters, digits,
_and-. The live preview in Title Templates does the same. - A post title or a term name that holds a variable such as
{{page}}or{{siteName}}is printed as typed, and a separator with spaces of its own no longer doubles them before "Page N". - Fixed: the Fix button for "No internal links" no longer says "Fixed!" when no link was inserted; it says "No links were added." and keeps the issue in the list.
- The Forge dashboard lists Cascade Forge and Inclusive Forge as available on wordpress.org. The plugin logo and icon use the new mark.
- The shared e-mail template carries a note for the wordpress.org code check; the e-mails it sends are unchanged.
- Two new sentences in all 15 translations; one sentence left the catalogue. Older versions are listed in changelog.txt in the plugin folder.
