RankAI is a next-generation SEO plugin that not only optimizes your posts for search engines but also ensures your content is easily found and cited by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.
Why RankAI? 
– Traditional SEO focuses only on search engines — but AI tools are now a major source of traffic. 
– RankAI bridges the gap, ensuring your content is optimized for both search engines and AI-powered discovery.
Key Features: 
* Traditional SEO Analysis – Title, meta description, headings, keyword density, content length & more. 
* AI-Specific Optimization – 
 1. AI-Friendly Content Structure Analysis 
 2. Citation and Source Authority Optimization 
 3. Semantic Keyword & Context Optimization 
* Real-Time Analysis – Works in the post/page editor as you write. 
* Visual Scoring System – Clear scores for each metric with actionable tips. 
* Actionable Recommendations – Specific steps to improve both SEO & AI discoverability.
Use Cases: 
– Bloggers who want more visibility in AI responses. 
– Businesses aiming for organic traffic from search and AI citations. 
– Content creators focused on authority and expertise.
How it Works: 
When you create or update a post/page, RankAI analyzes your content, scores it across multiple SEO and AI readiness metrics, and provides clear improvement suggestions — all inside WordPress.

This plugin captures real user metrics about what elements are displayed on the page across a variety of device form factors (e.g. desktop, tablet, and phone) in order to apply loading optimizations which are not possible with WordPress’s current server-side heuristics.
This plugin is a framework dependency which does not provide optimization functionality on its own. For that, please install the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-prioritizer/" rel="ugc">Image Prioritizer</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/embed-optimizer/" rel="ugc">Embed Optimizer</a> dependent plugins (among <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/performance/labels/%5BPlugin%5D%20Optimization%20Detective" rel="nofollow ugc">others</a> to come from the WordPress Core Performance team). There are currently no settings and no user interface for this plugin since it is designed to work without any configuration.
Your site must currently have the REST API accessible to unauthenticated frontend visitors since this is how real user metrics are collected about pages on your site; nevertheless, <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/1311" rel="nofollow ugc">exploration</a> is underway for providing alternative mechanisms for collecting the metrics. Also, please note that no metrics are currently collected from Safari since it does not yet support the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/LargestContentfulPaint" rel="nofollow ugc">Largest Contentful Paint</a> metric, but support for this <a href="https://web.dev/explore/learn-core-web-vitals" rel="nofollow ugc">Core Web Vitals</a> metric is coming this year <a href="https://webkit.org/blog/16458/announcing-interop-2025/#core-web-vitals" rel="nofollow ugc">via Interop 2025</a>.
