Adds inclusive-language checks, prominent-word insights, bulk Image SEO attributes with preview and rollback, and three related-content Gutenberg blocks. Premium adds per-sentence AI Optimize.

  • Added Prominent Words in the editor sidebar so each post shows its main terms from the title and body.

AI Optimize and ProRank SEO 1.3.1

Adds AI Optimize for sentence-by-sentence rewriting in the editor. Free also adds inclusive-language checks, prominent-word insights, bulk Image SEO attributes, and related-content blocks.

Highlights

  • AI Optimize per-sentence rewrite panel in the editor sidebar using your configured AI Tools provider
  • Accept, reject, regenerate, or accept visible suggestions while reviewing the before/after wording
  • Links, shortcodes, code, scripts, and style content are protected from rewriting
  • Repeated identical sentences are handled safely so the accepted suggestion updates the intended sentence
  • All ProRank SEO 1.3.1 features (Inclusive Language, Prominent Words, Bulk Image Attributes, Related Content blocks)

Added

  • Added an AI Optimize panel in the editor sidebar that reviews paragraph and list-item sentences from the current editor content and proposes clearer rewrites.

  • Added a small session history showing generated, accepted, rejected, and conflict counts.

Improved

  • AI Optimize checks the current editor content before applying a suggestion and shows a conflict instead of changing the wrong text if the post was edited meanwhile.

  • Protected content stays untouched, even when the same sentence also appears outside a protected link, shortcode, or code block.

Security

  • AI Optimize only runs for users who can edit the post, ties suggestions to the current user, and only calls the configured BYOK AI provider when you click Analyze or regenerate.
ProRank SEOv1.3.017 May 2026

Object Cache controls, content repair tools, and cache safety hardening

Adds explicit Object Cache health and lifecycle controls (Redis/Memcached, opt-in and gated), one-click H1 and title-length repair, AI metadata-leak cleanup, a Font Delivery Health panel, and internal-linking fixes — plus hardened page-cache safety and an activation-stability fix.

Highlights

  • Object Cache health and lifecycle controls (requires a Redis or Memcached backend; drop-in install is explicit, gated, and never overwrites a foreign drop-in)
  • One-click H1 repair with dry-run, backup/restore, and rendered-page verification
  • Title-length repair with deterministic suggestions and dry-run/backup/restore
  • AI metadata-leak cleanup that detects and removes hidden AI/OpenAI/ChatGPT metadata attributes from stored content (editor sidebar + bulk)
  • Internal-linking orphan/canonical reconciliation fixes (check-orphan endpoint, dry-run before applying links, canonical-aware resolution)
  • Font Delivery Health and Database Bloat panels
  • Hardened page-cache safety: atomic/validated .htaccess writes, variant-aware targeted purge, secret-gated raw-analysis bypass
  • Activation stability fix in the module manager

Added

  • Added Object Cache health and lifecycle controls: test connection, install/update the ProRank drop-in, remove drop-in, flush, and flush-by-group. Install is refused unless a Redis or Memcached backend is verified reachable; the drop-in fails open to the in-memory array cache and never overwrites a drop-in ProRank does not own.
  • Added H1 repair workflow (audit, deterministic fix, dry-run, backup and restore, rendered-page check).
  • Added title-length repair workflow (audit, deterministic suggestions, dry-run, backup and restore).
  • Added AI metadata-leak detection and cleanup that removes hidden AI/OpenAI/ChatGPT-origin metadata attributes from stored content, with an editor sidebar panel and a Site Audit bulk cleanup surface.
  • Added a Font Delivery Health panel and a Database Bloat control panel.
  • Added a keep-warm maintenance task and a bounded unused-CSS cache-skip safety valve that can never skip caching indefinitely.

Improved

  • Improved page-cache safety with atomic, validated .htaccess writes and variant-aware targeted cache purging.
  • Improved internal-linking orphan and canonical reconciliation, including a check-orphan endpoint alias and canonical-aware link resolution with a dry-run before any links are applied.

Fixed

  • Fixed a plugin-activation fatal in the module manager (a missing plugin-instance reference during activation) so activation is stable on a clean install.

Security

  • The raw-analysis cache bypass is now gated by a per-site secret, so an unauthenticated request can no longer bypass the page cache.
ProRank SEO Premiumv1.3.017 May 2026

Schema Aggregation/NLWeb, AI Ask, cache preload + coverage, and content repair

Everything in ProRank SEO 1.3.0 plus site-wide Schema Aggregation with an NLWeb /ask and Model Context Protocol /mcp endpoint, BYOK AI Ask/Summarize, Targeted FAQ/HowTo schema, cache preload with coverage health and a Warm Cache Now control, and richer bulk repair surfaces.

Highlights

  • Site-wide Schema Aggregation with an NLWeb-style /ask endpoint and a Model Context Protocol /mcp endpoint (gate-controlled; public discovery only, BYOK LLM modes require an authenticated edit_posts user)
  • BYOK AI Ask/Summarize using your configured AI Tools provider — no server keys, no calls without explicit user action
  • Targeted FAQ and HowTo schema modules
  • Cache preload priority front-pass with Cache Coverage health and a Warm Cache Now control
  • Object Cache health and lifecycle controls (requires Redis or Memcached; explicit, gated drop-in)
  • H1 repair, title-length repair, and AI metadata-leak cleanup with richer Site Audit bulk surfaces
  • Font Delivery Health and Database Bloat panels; internal-linking orphan/canonical fixes
  • Hardened page-cache safety (atomic .htaccess writes, variant-aware purge, secret-gated raw-analysis bypass) and an activation-stability fix

Added

  • Added site-wide Schema Aggregation with an NLWeb-style /ask endpoint and a Model Context Protocol (/mcp) endpoint. Both are gate-controlled; discovery is public while LLM-backed ask/summarize/generate modes require an authenticated user with edit_posts.
  • Added BYOK AI Ask/Summarize that uses the site's configured AI Tools provider. No server-side API keys are used or stored, and no provider calls happen without an explicit user request.
  • Added Targeted FAQ and Targeted HowTo schema modules.
  • Added cache preload with a priority front-pass, a read-only Cache Coverage health panel, and a Warm Cache Now control.
  • Added Object Cache health and lifecycle controls: test connection, install/update the ProRank drop-in, remove drop-in, flush, and flush-by-group. Install is refused unless a Redis or Memcached backend is verified reachable; the drop-in fails open to the in-memory array cache and never overwrites a drop-in ProRank does not own.
  • Added H1 repair workflow (audit, deterministic fix, dry-run, backup and restore, rendered-page check).
  • Added title-length repair workflow (audit, deterministic suggestions, dry-run, backup and restore).
  • Added AI metadata-leak detection and cleanup that removes hidden AI/OpenAI/ChatGPT-origin metadata attributes from stored content, with an editor sidebar panel and a Site Audit bulk cleanup surface.
  • Added a Font Delivery Health panel and a Database Bloat control panel.

Sitemap cleanup, URL canonicalisation, and image alt repair

Fixes robots.txt sitemap output, keeps ProRank XML sitemaps canonical, improves URL cleanup redirects, and fills missing image alt text from media-library metadata on rendered pages.

Highlights

  • Fixed robots.txt output so WordPress core wp-sitemap.xml is removed when ProRank XML sitemaps are active
  • Ensured the ProRank sitemap index is always listed in robots.txt even when another Sitemap line is present
  • Improved URL cleanup redirects when lowercase URLs and trailing slashes are both enabled
  • Added frontend missing-alt repair so local media images with empty alt attributes can use media-library alt text
  • Improved builder/widget coverage for image alt repair through content, excerpt, widget, and output-buffer handling

Added

  • Added automatic missing-alt backfill for local media images when the attachment already has alt text saved in WordPress.

Improved

  • Improved robots.txt sitemap handling so ProRank's sitemap index is not skipped because another plugin or WordPress core already added a Sitemap line.
  • Improved URL cleanup canonicalisation by combining lowercase handling with configured trailing-slash enforcement when WordPress receives the request.
  • Improved image optimisation frontend processing so builder-rendered images with empty alt attributes can be repaired at render time.

Fixed

  • Fixed robots.txt output that could keep the disabled WordPress core wp-sitemap.xml URL visible.
  • Fixed sitemap robots output so the ProRank sitemap index is listed reliably.
  • Fixed missing image alt text in rendered HTML when page builders stored empty alt attributes instead of using media-library metadata.
ProRank SEO Premiumv1.2.513 May 2026

E-E-A-T accuracy, location sitemap cleanup, and live-site fixes

Improves the E-E-A-T Monitor with 2026 YMYL checks, faster background scans, better issue deduping and AI advice fallback, while fixing KML/location sitemap output, robots.txt sitemap handling, URL cleanup, and rendered image alt text.

Highlights

  • Added stronger 2026 E-E-A-T checks for YMYL review signals, Organization/LocalBusiness schema, and visible phone/address trust signals
  • Expanded author credential detection with UK medical and professional registration terms
  • Reduced noisy repeated author findings with scan-level deduping and capped per-issue scoring penalties
  • Moved E-E-A-T scans to background processing with fewer loopback requests to avoid admin 504 timeouts
  • Hardened E-E-A-T report rendering so stringified score data cannot crash the admin dashboard
  • Added deterministic AI Advice fallback so recommendations remain useful when an AI provider returns a short or failed response
  • Removed KML files from robots.txt/sitemap declarations while keeping the KML file available for maps
  • Standardised the location XML sitemap at locations-sitemap.xml with deduped location URLs
  • Added frontend missing-alt repair for builder-rendered media images

  • Added expanded credential keyword coverage including GMC, NMC, HCPC, GDC, MRCGP, CQC, MBBS, BSc, MSc, licensed, registered, and qualified.
  • Added fallback E-E-A-T AI Advice recommendations for cases where the configured AI provider fails or returns truncated output.
  • Added automatic missing-alt backfill for local media images using WordPress attachment alt text.

Improved

  • Improved E-E-A-T scan performance by queueing scans in the background and reducing repeated rendered-page loopback checks.
  • Improved E-E-A-T scoring so repeated instances of the same issue type do not drain a component score unfairly.
  • Improved author-level issue deduping so the same missing author bio or credential issue is not reported on every post by the same author.
  • Improved E-E-A-T report rendering by normalizing REST score and trend values before charts and score cards render.
  • Improved location sitemap output by using locations-sitemap.xml as the canonical XML sitemap URL and deduping repeated location entries.
  • Improved robots.txt sitemap output so ProRank's sitemap index replaces the disabled WordPress core sitemap line.
  • Improved URL cleanup canonicalisation when lowercase URLs and trailing slashes are both enabled.

Fixed

  • Fixed robots.txt output that could list wp-sitemap.xml even when WordPress core sitemaps were disabled.
  • Fixed KML files being declared as sitemaps in robots.txt or sitemap index output.
  • Fixed location sitemap duplication that could repeat the homepage or repeated location URLs.
  • Fixed E-E-A-T scan requests that could time out behind Nginx/PHP limits on larger sites.
  • Fixed an E-E-A-T admin crash when REST responses returned score or trend values as strings.
  • Fixed truncated AI Advice responses by replacing incomplete provider output with a complete fallback recommendation.
  • Fixed rendered page-builder images that kept empty alt attributes even after media-library alt text was set.

Removed

  • Removed dead KML sitemap index and robots.txt injection paths from the Local SEO KML integration.

ProRank SEOv1.2.129 April 2026

Performance, admin speed, and metadata compatibility fixes

Fixes imported SEO title placeholders, improves admin/cache responsiveness, strengthens Module Manager state sync, and hardens frontend performance delivery for review widgets, optimized CSS, images, fonts, and lazy media.

Highlights

  • Fixed imported SEO title placeholders such as %sep% and %sitename% so migrated metadata renders clean titles

Fixed

Fixes imported SEO title placeholders, improves admin/cache responsiveness, hardens Trustindex/review-widget delay handling, preserves Cloud Used CSS output through cache clears, and includes the latest targeted schema, AI discovery, image/font, and performance compatibility fixes.

Highlights

  • Fixed Trustindex review-widget delay so tracker-delay governance removes review JS from the initial reflow path
  • Fixed Cloud Used CSS cache clearing so generated Used CSS output survives generic cache purges
  • Fixed imported SEO title placeholders such as %sep% and %sitename%
  • Improved targeted FAQ/HowTo schema, AI discovery, author E-E-A-T schema, Module Manager state sync, and performance compatibility

  • Fixed Cloud Used CSS cache clearing so generated Used CSS output survives generic cache purges and page cache does not fall back to heavier render-blocking CSS.
ProRank SEOv1.2.023 April 2026

AI Discovery, /ask, and /mcp endpoints

Ships the AI Discovery surface built on ProRank's Schema Aggregation system: a site-wide JSON-LD @graph endpoint, an NLWeb-compatible /ask list-mode endpoint, and an MCP-compatible /mcp endpoint over the same data. All three share one on/off gate. This release is the free baseline — list mode only; summarize and generate are Pro+.

Highlights

  • Added /wp-json/prorank-seo/v1/schema-map: site-wide JSON-LD @graph with deduplication, caching, and pagination
  • Added /wp-json/prorank-seo/v1/ask in NLWeb list mode for natural-language queries against the graph
  • Added /wp-json/prorank-seo/v1/mcp as an MCP-compatible agent endpoint (JSON-RPC 2.0) over the same data
  • Added a shared SchemaMapGate so /schema-map, /ask, and /mcp open and close together

Added

  • Added AI Discovery endpoint at /wp-json/prorank-seo/v1/schema-map with stable @id deduplication and cache invalidation on post/schema writes.
  • Added /wp-json/prorank-seo/v1/ask supporting mode=list (public).
  • Added /wp-json/prorank-seo/v1/mcp supporting MCP core methods (initialize, tools/list, tools/call, prompts/list, prompts/get, notifications, ping).
  • Added a shared on/off gate so the three endpoints serve or close together; when closed they return HTTP 404 with a raw schema_map_disabled body.
  • Added the ask tool (mode=list) and list_sites tool to /mcp tools/list.

Improved

  • Improved JSON-RPC 2.0 conformance on /mcp: empty batch, scalar body, invalid-id, version, and method validation all return spec-shaped errors.
ProRank SEO Premiumv1.2.023 April 2026

Summarize and generate modes on /ask and /mcp (BYOK, authenticated)

Builds on the free AI Discovery / /ask / /mcp surface by adding two BYOK LLM modes. Summarize returns a grounded summary alongside the list results; generate returns a RAG-style answer plus citations. Both require a WordPress application password for a user with edit_posts capability and use whatever AI provider is configured under AI Tools. Not full NLWeb or MCP parity.

Highlights

  • Added /ask mode=summarize and mode=generate using the existing AI Tools BYOK provider config
  • Added matching summarize/generate support on /mcp via tools/call ask (MCP content blocks)
  • Added authenticated-only gating for richer modes: WordPress application password with edit_posts capability
  • Added LocalBusiness, Product, FAQPage, and HowTo enrichment into the schema-map graph via the premium enricher

Added

  • Added /ask mode=summarize: grounded summary over the ranked list results, returned alongside the envelope.
  • Added /ask mode=generate: RAG-style answer with a 1-based citations array deterministically projected from results.
  • Added the same summarize/generate modes on /mcp via the ask tool; unauthenticated calls return JSON-RPC -32001 (transport-level), not a content-block error.
  • Added tier-aware mode advertising: free installs only ever see list; Pro+ sees list/summarize/generate in route enums, tools/list, and initialize.instructions.
  • Added premium enrichment of the schema-map @graph with LocalBusiness, Product, FAQPage, and HowTo entities gated by source-module activity.
  • Added an admin AI Discovery tab under Technical SEO with endpoint URLs, cache status, flush action, and disabled-reason diagnostics.

Improved

  • Improved AI Manager usage-cap handling: per-tier daily caps now apply to /ask summarize and generate via a preflight check_usage_cap() call; quota exhaustion surfaces as a structured over_quota (HTTP 429) response.
  • Improved MCP server info: initialize.instructions dynamically reflects which modes the install actually advertises so free and Pro+ installs can't describe themselves incorrectly.

Fixed

  • Fixed a duplicate 'pro+' key in AI Manager USAGE_CAPS that silently masked the per-tier daily cap and broke check_usage_cap() for real license tiers; caps now key on the shipped tier strings (pro/business/agency).

Security

  • Richer modes on /ask and /mcp require WordPress application-password auth for a user with edit_posts capability. Anonymous and subscriber-level accounts can no longer trigger LLM requests that would draw on the owner's BYOK provider credits.

Adds Smart Fonts, surfaces Cloud Used CSS controls in the UI, improves admin responsiveness with cache-first audit summaries, and fixes a used-CSS cache invalidation regression that could restore render-blocking CSS after cache clears.

  • Added premium UI controls for Smart Fonts and structural CSS replacement when Cloud Used CSS coverage is confirmed
