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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records XypherSEO version 2.0.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
XypherSEO adds a search optimization panel to your post and page editor. It scores the page you are writing against a set of on-page checks, shows you how the page is likely to look in search results and on social networks, and lets you control the meta tags and structured data that WordPress sends to search engines.
Everything in this plugin runs locally on your own site. There is no account to create, no external service to connect to, and no feature that stops working after a period of time.
In the editor
A live on-page SEO score with a grouped checklist of what passes and what needs attention, plus the specific fix for each item
Editable SEO title, URL slug and meta description, each with a character counter showing the recommended range
A search result preview that updates as you type
Focus keyword and secondary keywords, with a live count of how often the focus keyword appears
Social previews for Facebook and X, with separate title, description and image fields
Manual JSON-LD fields for FAQPage, HowTo, Product and any custom structured data you want to output
A structured data check that reports what is present on the page and what is missing
Canonical URL and robots meta controls (noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet, noimageindex)
Site-wide tools
XML sitemap covering posts, pages, custom post types and taxonomies, with a readable stylesheet when opened in a browser
Redirect manager supporting 301, 302, 307 and 308 redirects, including regular expressions, with a hit counter for each rule
404 monitor that logs missing URLs so you can redirect them
Breadcrumbs with BreadcrumbList structured data, output with the [xypher_breadcrumbs] shortcode
Conflict check that warns you when another SEO plugin is writing duplicate meta tags or sitemaps
Safe mode that stops all front-end output in one click, so you can test whether a display problem is caused by this plugin
Structured data
Article and BreadcrumbList structured data are generated automatically from your post content. FAQPage, HowTo, Product and custom JSON-LD are entered by hand in the Schema tab. Anything you paste is validated as JSON before it is saved, so invalid markup never reaches your pages.
