<h3>We poured over 27 000 hours of love into this plugin. Here are the results:</h3>
<ul>
<li>
It is brilliant. 
The SEO Framework is an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_system" rel="nofollow ugc">expert system</a> for SEO. It is the only solution that can intelligently generate critical SEO meta tags in any language by reading your WordPress environment. This automation saves you a considerable amount of time that could be used to write more content or focus on other tasks. It also removes the need for advanced SEO knowledge.
</li>
<li>
It comes preconfigured. 
With The SEO Framework, we provide an excellent starting point for your website by rationally optimizing all your pages. Naturally, you can also tweak it however you like. If you’re not an SEO expert, learn what you may wish to optimize in our <a href="https://theseoframework.com/?p=2428" rel="nofollow ugc">Setup guide</a>.
</li>
<li>
It helps you optimize your metadata. 
We made the only SEO plugin that follows Google’s webmaster guidelines to the letter. It took years of research and tweaking to translate this well inside your WordPress interface. Finally, you can freely optimize your pages without having to worry about making critical mistakes.
</li>
<li>
It creates a beautiful overview. 
On your post overview pages, you’ll find color-coded guidelines. They suggest how to improve your pages as you hover over them with your mouse cursor. For example, when your titles are unbranded or when WordPress blocks indexing. Instinctively, touch-and keyboard navigation is also supported.
</li>
<li>
It includes exceptional support. 
We don’t outsource our support. We’re here for you. Feel free to drop by <a href="https://theseoframework.com/support/" rel="nofollow ugc">our support channels</a> at any time to ask a question. More than 5000 inquiries have been answered personally in the past nine years, typically within 72 hours.
</li>
<li>
It leaves no room for errors. 
We focus on the quality of features you need over the quantity on features you don’t. This trait makes this plugin unique, faster, more accurate, nearly bug-free, and more sustainable. The added benefit is that your site is unlikely to get penalized by search engines. We won’t steer you into writing unnatural content or allow you to trick search engines.
</li>
<li>
It remains genuine and pure. 
We built The SEO Framework for small to large corporations and enterprises. The interface is entirely accessible and seamlessly integrates within your dashboard. Therefore, interacting with this plugin feels natural. It might feel dull, but your WordPress dashboard shouldn’t be a billboard for our branding. We won’t ever change this.
</li>
<li>
It improves search presence. 
The SEO Framework ranks your website distinctively by enabling breadcrumbs for Google Search via structured data. It also automatically generates titles and descriptions according to Google’s guidelines and quickly helps search engines find the website’s latest changes via the built-in optimized sitemap.
</li>
<li>
It makes social sharing easy. 
The SEO Framework automatically supports and allows you to further tailor the Open Graph, Facebook, and Twitter Cards protocols. It helps your posts stand out when they’re shared on various social networks, including Pinterest, Discord, and WhatsApp.
</li>
<li>
It feels more than accessible. 
We handpicked our color scheme so that people with any medically recognized color-vision deficiency can distinguish the guidelines set by search engines. We also implemented full keyboard-navigation and screen-reader support.
</li>
<li>
It protects you from mistakes. 
The SEO Framework steers you from making significant and common SEO mistakes. It leaves little room for you to mess up because the plugin already does everything SEO for you. For example, it automatically prevents duplicated content mistakes by enforcing strict canonical rules.
</li>
<li>
It follows best-practices and beyond. 
The biggest problems with WordPress plugins are security and compatibility. As part-time security researchers, we focus on making this plugin impenetrable. The SEO Framework also uses WordPress’s API whenever possible, making this plugin integrate neatly with every other plugin written with that in mind.
</li>
<li>
It has developers at heart. 
We encourage other developers to enhance and add functionality to this plugin. We’ve done so ourselves, already, with our <a href="https://theseoframework.com/extensions/" rel="nofollow ugc">extensions</a>. Check out <a href="https://theseoframework.com/?p=82" rel="nofollow ugc">our API</a>, and feel free to <a href="https://tsf.fyi/contributing" rel="nofollow ugc">contribute</a>!

<h3>Unbranded, free and for the professionals</h3>
The SEO Framework is a uniquely white label plugin that blends seamlessly into your WordPress dashboard. This means that we don’t even put the name “The SEO Framework” anywhere within your WordPress interface. No ads, no nags. Nobody has to know about the tools you’ve used to create your website. Note that we output standardized development-comments distinguishing the plugin output in source code. You can remove these with our free <a href="https://theseoframework.com/?p=2301" rel="nofollow ugc">Incognito extension</a>.
<h3>Behind the screens</h3>
The SEO Framework works on many things without notifying you, because the best software is fast, nimble, responsive, and should save you precious time. Here are a few things it does behind the screens.
<ul>
<li>It prevents canonical errors for categories, pages, subdomains, and WordPress Multisite domain mapping.</li>
<li>It stops SEO attacks that are caused by pagination exploits in WordPress by telling the search engine to look at the existing last page instead.</li>
<li>It discourages 404 pages and empty categories from being indexed, even when they don’t send a 404 response.</li>
<li>It automatically notifies Google and the Bing network on website updates when sitemaps are enabled.</li>
<li>It discourages search engines from indexing feeds and the sitemap. This doesn’t mean they won’t use them; only, they won’t show them in their search results.</li>
<li>It directs search engines from the comment pages back to the post storing those comments.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Compatibility and accessibility</h3>
The SEO Framework supports:
<ul>
<li>Internationalization through WordPress.org. You can <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/autodescription/" rel="nofollow ugc">contribute here</a>.</li>
<li>Unicode (UTF-8) character recognition and rendering, including Emoji and CJKV (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese).</li>
<li>Right to Left (RTL) languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, etc.), through its interface and metatag generation.</li>
<li>Complete color-vision deficiency accessibility thanks to a carefully picked color scheme.</li>
<li>Full keyboard navigation, so that you can inspect tooltips quickly without ever having to reach for your mouse.</li>
<li>Full screen-reader accessibility via field anchors, ARIA labels, and title attributes.</li>
<li>WordPress Multisite setups, this plugin is in fact built upon one.</li>
<li>Detection and output of robots.txt and sitemap.xml files.</li>

The SEO Framework – Fast, Automated, Effortless.


Forget about certain SEO plugin that begins with the letter 'Y'. And any other SEO plugin. This one is the best. Just what you need, 0 bloat.


Best SEO plugin

After learning about The SEO Framework plugin from one of our clients and after giving it a test spin, in Spring 2023 we switched approx 250 sites to TSF and also bought the premium version. To this day, this plugin still keeps impressing me with how lightweight it is.

You literarily "don't feel" it's there but it does what it's suppose to do - helps you manipulate the meta data for your website and content both for SERPs and social media.

The transition process from the previous SEO plugin we used was more than smooth and the support was really on point with all the questions and doubts we have had in regards to the transition (lots of data) and what steps we were to take to ensure the functionality is kept (and even improved if you ask me)).

For all of those who know the basics of SEO but also for everybody else, this plugin is just perfect because it really doesn't contain any additional (redundant) flashy features that really don't and can't help with ranks and also doesn't interfere with content writing. Most importantly, it doesn't contain features you can't control or can't disable, which also makes setting up SEO preferences really simple and straightforward even for complete beginners.

In essence, ever since we switched from a different SEO plugin to TSF - we haven't looked back an inch.

I really can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a plugin or its functionality and judging by reviews I'm not the only one, so congratulations on a job well done and keep doing your thing.

Disclaimer: Though I'm a part of a different development team behind WP products, there is no business nor personal relationship between us / me and the team behind TSF, and this (re)view is entirely my own. A great product is simply a great product and deserves the credit where credit is due

Still impressed! The best SEO plugin there is


I should have written this review a few years back when I switched to TSF. Better late than never, right?



TSF has become my goto SEO plugin and one that I use across all my websites. Sybre has poured in countless hours to make an efficient, easy to use and configure plugin. In particular is the effort to write highly performant code - you need your SEO plugin to be fast when Google wants your site to be fast!



If you haven't used TSF yet, give it a shot. You won't regret it.


Effective. Excellent. My goto SEO plugin

Great plug-in!
