Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

rankd scores the post you are writing on a 0-100 quality scale, in the editor sidebar. Six axes — readability, structure, length, links, images, title — plus actionable suggestions on what to fix before you hit publish.

The plugin connects to your rankd account. Each WordPress verdict uses the same rankd quota as the web product: free accounts get 2 verdicts per day; Pro gets 500 verdicts per month.

What it does

  • Editor sidebar verdict — opens as a meta box on every post and page edit screen
  • Six axes scored 0-100 — readability, structure, length, links, images, title
  • Actionable suggestions — short, specific, ranked by impact
  • Quota-aware — runs only when you click, so typing does not burn verdicts
  • Works in Gutenberg and Classic Editor — auto-detects which one you are using

External Services

com/api/wp/content-score when you click run rankd verdict.

What data is sent and when:

  • post title
  • post content
  • site URL

The plugin sends that data only when you click run rankd verdict. It does not send content while you type. It does not write post meta, publish content, or alter your post.

Why the service exists:

  • generate a 0-100 content quality verdict
  • return ranked suggestions before publish
  • apply the same quota logic as the rankd web app

A rankd account and WordPress API token are required. Free rankd accounts include 2 verdicts per day. 99/year.

Pricing and quota may be changed on the rankd pricing page, and the active quota returned by rankd is shown after each verdict.

Why a sidebar scorer

Existing SEO plugins focus on keyword targeting and serialize their advice across multiple panels. ” — readability, sectioning, link density, image alt text, title length. The basics that lift any post regardless of niche.

Six axes scored

  • Readability — sentence length and word complexity (lower is easier)
  • Structure — H2/H3 distribution and section count
  • Length — sweet-spot around 800-2000 words; penalty at the extremes
  • Links — outbound + internal density (1 per ~250 words is healthy)
  • Images — at least one image with alt text on posts over ~200 words
  • Title — 30-65 characters is the SEO sweet spot

The composite is a weighted average; each axis is exposed individually so you can see what is dragging.

How it differs from generic readability tools

  • Lives where you write — the WordPress editor sidebar — not a separate site
  • Uses the same rankd quota and upgrade path as the main product
  • Runs on explicit click only — no quota burn while typing
  • Keeps the verdict separate from publishing — you decide what to change
