ElevenRank

ElevenRank is an all-in-one SEO plugin that is being built in the open, one release at a time.

What it does today

• Titles and meta descriptions built from templates with variables such as the post title, site name, category and page number, for posts, pages, custom post types, categories, tags, archives, search results and the homepage.
• Robots directives, with sensible defaults: search results, date archives, empty category pages and attachment pages are kept out of search results, and every default can be changed.
• Canonical links that are correct on paginated pages.
• Open Graph and X (Twitter) card tags with a default sharing image.
• A short setup wizard that checks your site title, tagline and search engine visibility.
• An SEO sidebar in the block editor and an SEO box in the Classic Editor: focus keywords, a live preview of the search result and of social shares, per-post titles, descriptions, robots settings and canonical URL, and an SEO score with 19 checks on keyword use, length and readability. It works the same in both editors.
• SEO title, description and score columns in the posts list, with a score filter, a noindex filter, bulk noindex actions and Quick Edit fields.
• XML sitemaps for posts, pages, custom post types, categories, tags and (optionally) authors, with images, split into files and shown in a readable table in the browser.
• A robots.txt editor with a safe default and a reset button.
• Redirects: exact, contains, starts with, ends with and regular-expression rules with the status codes 301, 302, 307, 410 and 451, loop and safety checks, CSV import and export, and an automatic 301 when you change the address of a published post.
• A 404 monitor that lists the pages visitors asked for and did not find, so you can redirect them. It stores no IP addresses or browser details.
• Structured data (JSON-LD) in one graph per page: your organization or person, the website, the page, the breadcrumb, and for posts an article, product, recipe, event, video or review. Fields that are empty or not valid are left out, and nothing is made up.
• Breadcrumbs as a block, a shortcode and a template function.
• Image alt text and title filled from your own patterns when an image has none; images marked as decorative are left alone.
• Import from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO and SEOPress: titles, descriptions, focus keywords, robots, canonical and social settings for posts, terms and authors, the site-wide settings and, where the plugin keeps them in free storage, redirects. Check what would change first; nothing of the other plugin is changed or deleted.
• Settings export and import, reset by group, a role editor for who may manage redirects, view the 404 log, edit post SEO or import, and a status screen with a debug text you can copy (it contains no addresses, keys or e-mails).
• WP-CLI commands for importing, status, redirects and caches.
• Safe next to another SEO plugin: while one is active, ElevenRank does not add tags, so nothing is printed twice.

What you can rely on

• No tracking, no ads in your dashboard, and no connections to outside servers.
• Your data is kept when you delete the plugin, unless you switch on “Delete all data on uninstall”.
• Works on single sites and on multisite networks.

Source code

The admin interface in build/ is compiled from the readable source in src/ (JavaScript and SCSS, using the packages in package.json). To rebuild it, run npm install (dependency versions are pinned in package.json) and then npm run build in the plugin folder. The readable source is included in this plugin’s src/ folder, next to package.json and webpack.config.js, so the compiled files can be reproduced from what is shipped.
