<p>WP Readability Analysis is a wordpress plugin that calculates the index<br />
of readability of a post or page using various methods: Gulpease, Gunning-Fog,<br />
Flesch and Flesch-Kincaid.<br />
With these formulas we try to analyze how difficult it is to read a text.</p>
<p>The method Gulpease, calibrated for the Italian language, unlike the other<br />
is based on word length in letters rather than syllables.</p>
<p>Methods Flesch-Kincaid and Flesch, who are the most famous, using formulas based<br />
on the average number of words per sentence and the average number of syllables per word.</p>
<p>The method Gunning-Fog uses a formula based on the average number of words per<br />
sentence and the percentage of words with 3 or more syllables.</p>
<p>Unlike Gulpease, these three methods are mainly used in the English language.<br />
Both Gunning-Fog that Flesch-Kincaid return a score which is the number of<br />
years of education that the user must have to understand the text.</p>
<p>I invite you to know more about the various pages of wikipedia devoted<br />
to the various formulas.</p>

<h3>WooCommerce Optimization</h3>

<p><strong>How It Works: Step-by-Step</strong><br />
<em>Click “Analyze Product”</em><br />
With one click, CranSEO scans the product’s title, description, and short product description for SEO and LLM optimization factors.</p>
<p><em>Get Real-Time Scoring & Suggestions</em><br />
The plugin then displays:<br />
1. A comprehensive SEO score for the product<br />
2. Suggestions to improve keyword placement<br />
3. Warnings for missing or weak elements<br />
4. Tips to make the content more conversational and structured</p>
<p><strong>Optimization Targets</strong><br />
<em>Short Product Description</em><br />
Ensures this snippet is compelling and keyword-rich — ideal for appearing in quick previews or featured listings.</p>
<p><em>Long Description</em><br />
Analyzes for content depth, structure, and relevance to LLM queries (e.g., FAQs, benefits, comparisons).</p>
<p><strong>Built-in Product SEO Scoring</strong><br />
Each WooCommerce product is scored based on:<br />
1. Keyword relevance and density<br />
2. Conversational tone and clarity<br />
3. Content structure (headings, bullets, etc.)<br />
4. Link usage and metadata completeness<br />
5. LLM compatibility (Is the content likely to be cited or used by AI?)</p>
<p><strong>Why it matters</strong><br />
Most WooCommerce SEO plugins focus on meta tags — CranSEO goes further by optimizing the actual product content for visibility in LLM-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and voice search.</p>
<h3>XML Sitemaps</h3>
<p>CranSEO automatically generates a complete and compliant XML sitemap to help search engines easily discover and index all your important content — including pages, posts, products, categories, and custom taxonomies.</p>
<p><strong>What It Includes</strong><br />
The sitemap dynamically includes:<br />
1. Pages – All published static pages<br />
2. Posts – Blog articles and other post types<br />
3. WooCommerce Products – Product pages with SEO relevance<br />
4. Categories & Tags – Blog and product categories/tags<br />
5. Custom Taxonomies – Including WooCommerce product attributes or any CPT taxonomy</p>
<p><strong>Search Engine Ready</strong><br />
Once generated, users can submit the sitemap directly to major search engines (like Google and Bing) via:<br />
1. Google Search Console<br />
2. Bing Webmaster Tools<br />
3. Manual submission or plugin integrations</p>
<p>The sitemap is located at:<br />
yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml</p>
<p><strong>Automatic Updates</strong><br />
CranSEO ensures your sitemap:<br />
1. Updates automatically when new content is published<br />
2. Removes deleted content from the index<br />
3. It has timestamps to show when you update the content</p>
<p><strong>Why Sitempas Matter</strong><br />
<em>Search engines rely on sitemaps to:</em><br />
1. Discover your content faster<br />
2. Understand your site structure<br />
3. Prioritize what to crawl and index<br />
4. And in the AI era, structured sitemaps help LLMs and bots find and contextualize your content better — especially when paired with CranSEO’s content optimization.</p>
