Description

Most SEO plugins only do SEO. ProRank does SEO, performance, and image optimisation — so you can stop stacking 5 plugins that fight over the same hooks. One dashboard for metadata, schema, sitemaps, redirects, internal linking, caching, image compression, and site audits.

The free plugin covers on-page SEO, technical SEO, page caching, script optimisation, local image compression, and one-click migration from Yoast, AIOSEO, Rank Math, or SEOPress. ProRank Premium adds cloud image optimisation (WebP, AVIF, JXL), critical CSS extraction, unused CSS removal, AI-assisted content tools, advanced analytics, local SEO, WooCommerce SEO, and agency features.

Does ProRank SEO require an account or API key?

No. The free plugin works entirely locally — no account, no API key, no cloud dependency. ProRank Premium requires a license key for cloud features.

Can I import from Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, or SEOPress?

Yes. ProRank SEO includes import tools for Yoast SEO, AIOSEO, Rank Math, and SEOPress so you can switch without losing your existing SEO settings.

What is ProRank Premium?

ProRank Premium is the paid upgrade that adds cloud audits, rank tracking, advanced analytics, AI-assisted workflows, and agency tools. See plans.

Does the plugin send data to external services?

Only when you use features that require them (PageSpeed audits, IndexNow, etc.). See the External Services section for full details.

Is source code for the admin build included?

Yes. The plugin package includes src/ and the Vite build files (package.json, package-lock.json, vite.config.mjs) so the build process can be reviewed and reproduced.

Will uninstalling remove my data?

Yes. Uninstalling removes all plugin options, metadata, and custom database tables.
