Frequently asked questions

RankZuno is a free SEO plugin for WordPress. It checks your site for 34 common SEO problems, explains each one it finds in plain language, tells you what to fix next, and fixes supported problems with a preview and one-click undo.

Yes. Every feature is free: no licence keys, no accounts, no usage limits and no locked "pro" features. It does not need any paid API to work.

RankZuno is built by Digitronix.io (digitronix.io). To learn SEO, the free ToolsNest SEO Academy (toolsnest.io) has guides, a glossary and browser-based SEO tools.

Yes. RankZuno is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later, the same licence as WordPress.

WordPress 6.4 or later and PHP 7.4 or later. RankZuno runs inside your normal WordPress admin, so there is nothing else to install or sign up for.

Download the ZIP, then in WordPress go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, choose the file and activate it. A short guided setup opens, and you can run your first audit straight away.

RankZuno runs 34 checks across indexing, titles and descriptions, canonical URLs, social sharing tags, headings, image alternative text, internal and broken links, redirects, sitemaps, robots.txt and structured data. It checks pages as visitors receive them, not just what the editor says should be there.

No. Audits run in small background batches, can be cancelled and resume automatically if interrupted. Nothing from the audit is loaded for your visitors.

A confirmed problem is something RankZuno saw directly, such as two title tags in a page. A possible problem is a pattern that is often a mistake but can be intentional, such as a very short page or a noindex setting. Checks that could not run are listed separately with the reason.

No, and we say so in the plugin. The score shows how many of RankZuno’s completed checks passed, weighted by severity. RankZuno never invents traffic, ranking, search volume or backlink numbers.

You see the current and proposed value for every affected page, edit the proposal if you like, and confirm. RankZuno records the change, checks the page again and only marks the problem fixed when the new check confirms it.

No. Sixteen of the 34 checks have a fix you can preview and apply, such as writing missing descriptions, removing an unwanted noindex or redirecting a missing page. For the others, such as thin content, several H1 headings or two SEO plugins adding the same tags, RankZuno explains what to change and where, and you make the change yourself.

Yes, for changes made from RankZuno’s own screens: fixes, bulk edits, imports, redirects and settings are recorded and can be rolled back. SEO fields you edit in the post editor are saved with the post like any other edit and do not appear in the change history. If a value was edited again after a recorded change, RankZuno keeps the newer edit instead of overwriting it.

Yes. Bulk editing lets you change titles, descriptions, indexing and sitemap settings for many pages, with a preview before saving and rollback afterwards.

Yes. The SEO editor in the block editor, the Classic Editor and on category and tag screens lets you set titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, robots settings and social sharing text and images, with desktop and mobile search previews.

Yes. It builds on the sitemap included in WordPress, adds accurate last-modified dates, and leaves out noindex, private and unpublished content. You choose which content types and individual pages are included.

WebSite, Organization or Person, WebPage, Article, BlogPosting or NewsArticle, BreadcrumbList, LocalBusiness and, with WooCommerce, Product markup built from your real product data. You can preview and validate the markup. Structured data does not guarantee rich results; search engines decide that.

Yes. It supports 301, 302, 307, 308 and 410 redirects, blocks redirect loops, warns about chains, and imports or exports redirects as CSV with a preview first.

Yes. The optional 404 log records missing addresses so you can redirect them. It stores only the path, a hit count, dates and the referring website’s domain, never IP addresses or browser details.

Yes. It finds pages that none of your other content links to and suggests links from existing posts, showing the source page, the suggested words and the reason. Nothing is changed until you confirm.

Yes. The image audit separates informative images, which need a description, from decorative ones, which should be skipped by screen readers. RankZuno never writes descriptions from file names.

No. RankZuno does not use AI or any other outside service. Audits, fixes and link suggestions all run on your own server, from your own content.

Yes. RankZuno imports titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, robots settings and social data for posts, plus category and tag SEO data from Yoast SEO and Rank Math, and Rank Math redirects. A dry run first shows what will be imported, skipped or is not supported: for example, Rank Math schema templates, AIOSEO global settings and the redirects in Yoast SEO Premium or AIOSEO Pro, which you can move with the CSV redirect import. Your old plugin’s data is never changed, repeated imports do not duplicate anything, and the whole import can be rolled back.

Yes, in audit-only mode. RankZuno starts that way and adds nothing to your pages, so you can compare results safely. If both plugins manage SEO output at the same time, pages get duplicate titles, descriptions and structured data. Before letting RankZuno manage output, import your data and deactivate the other plugin yourself. RankZuno never deactivates plugins for you.

No. RankZuno starts in audit-only mode and only adds SEO tags once you choose to let it. Fixes show the current and proposed values before anything is saved, and they can be undone.

RankZuno audits pages from their published output, so headings, images and links inside a page builder layout are checked too. Link suggestions are never inserted into builder layouts automatically. Elementor has not yet been covered by our release testing; see the status page for current compatibility.

RankZuno includes WooCommerce support: product pages get Product structured data from your real prices, stock and SKUs, and WooCommerce’s own product markup is switched off so each product is described once. This integration has not yet been covered by our release testing, so check a product page with Google’s Rich Results Test after switching to managed output.

Yes. RankZuno supports both the block editor and the Classic Editor, plus category, tag and custom taxonomy screens.

No. There is no tracking or telemetry, RankZuno connects to no outside service, audits run on your own server, and results stay in your own WordPress database.

Deactivating keeps everything. Deleting the plugin keeps your data unless you turn on "Delete all Rankzuno data when the plugin is deleted" in Settings → Data & privacy.

No. There is nothing to sign up for, on this website or inside the plugin.

Install RankZuno and run an audit to see what matters on your own site. To understand the ideas behind each finding, the free ToolsNest SEO Academy at toolsnest.io/learn explains every topic step by step.

Yes. ToolsNest offers free browser-based tools, including an SEO audit, a meta tag generator and a robots.txt generator, at toolsnest.io/tools.
