Our spring menu is here - Fernhill Kitchen

Six new dishes, all built around what the market has this month: wild asparagus, broad beans, the first strawberries. Book a table for lunch or dinner, Tuesday…

Not in Google: the page asks search engines not to index it.

No hreflang: a page kept out of Google gets no language links, and its translation is not listed as an alternate.

Set it. See it printed.

A real post and its Search appearance panel. Change a field and the head of the page changes with it.

Leave the title empty and the template writes it.

Every post type, archive and term has a title template. Type your own on any page and it wins, in Google and on social networks. Try it here.

SEO title

No description? It takes the opening lines.

The excerpt, or the start of the text when there is none. Write one by hand when the first lines do not sell the page.

Meta description

One switch keeps a page out of Google.

The robots tag gets noindex, the canonical goes, and the sitemap stops listing the page. Search results, empty archives and feeds are handled for you.

Do not index (noindex)

Link a translation and hreflang follows.

Each language has its own prefix, like /fr/. Linked pages point to each other, with x-default on the first language.

Translation: Notre menu de printemps (Français)

Old addresses keep working.

Exact addresses or regular expressions, with 301, 302, 307, 410 and 451. Change the address of a published page and its redirect is written for you. Pick a row.

Redirects of example.com /menu-2025/menu/Old menu address301Moved for good: search engines swap the old address for /menu/. /promo/offers/Seasonal offers302Elsewhere for a while. Search engines keep /promo in their index. /summer-partynoneEvent is over410Gone, with nothing to replace it: the answer tells search engines so. ^/blog/(.*)/news/$1Blog moved to News301A regular expression: /blog/spring-menu/ answers with a 301 to /news/spring-menu/. /our-spring-menu/spring-menu/Written when the slug changed301The post’s address changed after it was published, so EasyRankly added this redirect by itself. /team/about/While the page is rewritten307Temporary, and the method of the request is kept. /old-reviewnoneRemoved on request451Unavailable for legal reasons, and the answer says so. /wine-list.pdf/wine/The list is a page now301Redirects are looked up only when WordPress would answer 404, so pages that exist never wait for them.

Coming from Yoast SEO?

First, open EasyRankly › Import.

It finds what Yoast SEO or Rank Math saved, even after you deactivate them.

Then run it once.

Titles, descriptions, canonicals, noindex, social texts and redirects are copied. What you already set in EasyRankly is kept, so running it again changes nothing.

Import complete: posts updated 2, values already set in EasyRankly kept 2

Now every post has its fields.

Open one and the Search appearance panel shows what came across. The old plugin keeps its data until you delete it.

Of JavaScript and CSS that EasyRankly adds to the page your visitor loads, whatever you switch on. What EasyRankly prints is text in the head: its tags and one JSON-LD graph. No custom tables and no cron jobs either.

It looks like WordPress.

Plain admin screens under one menu, the block editor, the Breadcrumbs block and the sitemap WordPress already builds. Nothing to learn twice, and nothing left behind when you delete it.

Multilingual. Languages with their own prefix, linked translations and a switcher block.
Custom code. HTML and PHP snippets with a syntax check, revisions and a safe mode.
WooCommerce and ACF. SEO for the shop, and custom fields in title templates.

Questions

Can I keep Yoast SEO or Rank Math active too?

No. Two SEO plugins print the same tags twice: title, description, canonical and structured data. Deactivate the old one, then EasyRankly › Import copies its SEO fields and redirects.

Is it really free?

Yes. It is open source under GPLv2 or later, from the WordPress.org directory. No account, no licence key, no ads in your admin.

Does it send data anywhere?

No. It connects to no external service, does not track visitors and stores nothing about them. What it saves is your settings and SEO fields, in your WordPress database.

Do classic themes work?

SEO, sitemap, redirects and custom code work with every theme. The breadcrumb and the languages need a block theme, because they rely on the Breadcrumbs block and template parts.

Does it work on multisite?

Yes. Each site has its own settings, redirects, snippets and languages. Deleting the plugin removes its data from every site of the network.

What if a PHP snippet breaks the site?

Code is checked before it is saved, and a fatal error switches the snippet off. If you are locked out anyway, add define( 'EASYRANKLY_SAFE_MODE', true ); to wp-config.php and no snippet runs.

Complete SEO, without the weight.

Free and open source. Install it, bring your old SEO fields along, and get back to writing.
