Xagio SEO – AI Powered SEO


Look, I've spent years in the SEO trenches and tested pretty much every tool out there. Xagio SEO caught me off guard - in a good way. The AI analysis isn't just fluff - it spots real ranking opportunities I would've missed. Love how the schema stuff is automated (because who enjoys coding that manually?), and the rank tracking is spot-on.



The Niche Hunter? That's my secret weapon now. Found some killer low-competition keywords that are already paying off. Best part is everything's in one place - no more tab-hopping between 5 different tools.



Not gonna lie, I was skeptical at first (aren't we all?), but this plugin delivers. If you're serious about SEO but hate unnecessary complexity, give it a shot. ★★★★★


Finally a WordPress SEO Plugin That Actually Works!

Xagio is the only WordPress SEO plugin built with AI to help you rank fast, rank higher, and optimize for SEO using advanced AI for insane SEO results …

Norbert Preining

A simple, intuitive Google Map / OpenStreetMap plugin that installs as a Gutenberg block and a shortcode. Packed with useful features — geo-mashup of posts, KML overlays, marker icons, address geocoding — and fully free and open source. No subscriptions, no SaaS, no telemetry.
Slick Google Map lets you embed maps using either:
<ul>
<li>Google Maps — requires your own API key (configurable per-site).</li>
<li>Leaflet / OpenStreetMap — no key required, free tile service.</li>
</ul>
Features:
<ul>
<li>Insert maps via the Slick Google Map Gutenberg block (with a multi-marker repeater) or the <code>[slick_map]</code> shortcode.</li>
<li>Classic Editor users get a Slick Map media button above the editor that opens a dialog with the same repeater.</li>
<li>Marker geo-mashup — aggregate every post/page that has <code>lat</code>/<code>lng</code> custom fields onto a single map.</li>
<li>KML and GPX overlays — drop a track or boundary onto any map. KML works on both providers; GPX is Leaflet-only.</li>
<li>Address geocoding — write <code>address="Vienna, Austria"</code> instead of coordinates. Geocoded once per address and cached for 30 days. Uses your Google Geocoding API key if set, falls back to Nominatim/OSM otherwise.</li>
<li>Coordinate formats — accepts decimal (<code>48.2082</code>) and DMS (<code>48°12'29.5"N</code>) in any marker.</li>
<li>Marker icons — bundled set of 13 modern SVG pins (default, restaurant, lodging, cafe, bar, museum, airport, rail, shop, camera, mountain, castle, religious), plus your own URL. Legacy filenames from the 2014-era plugin are auto-aliased.</li>
<li>Map controls — toggle the zoom / map-type / street-view / scroll-wheel / drag controls per map.</li>
<li>Layers — Google bicycling and traffic overlays on demand.</li>
<li>45° aerial tilt — passed through to Google as <code>tilt: 45</code>. Only takes visible effect on vector Map IDs, or on satellite/hybrid view over the specific cities where Google has 45° aerial imagery. No effect on raster maps or on Leaflet.</li>
<li>Custom Google styles JSON — for branded maps without cloud-styled Map IDs.</li>
<li>Wiki-style links in marker titles: <code>[[https://example.com|Display text]]</code> becomes a real link.</li>
<li>Compatible with WordPress page caches — no per-visitor state in the rendered HTML, no AJAX side-effects.</li>
<li>No fixed-cost dependencies — Leaflet / OSM is free; Google Maps is pay-as-you-go with a generous monthly free tier (≈28k map loads/month at no charge).</li>
</ul>
History:
Slick Google Map 1.0 is a rewrite of the original plugin version 0.3, which was itself a fork of the Comprehensive Google Map Plugin by Alexander Zagniotov (2011–2014). Version 1.0.0 is a complete rewrite for WordPress 6.4+ and PHP 8.1+ — see the “Parity & rewrite” section below for what changed.
Insert a map via the Slick Google Map Gutenberg block, the Slick Map media button in the Classic Editor, or the <code>[slick_map]</code> shortcode. Optionally aggregate posts/pages that have <code>lat</code>/<code>lng</code> custom fields onto a single map (“geo-mashup”), and overlay a KML or GPX file.
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
<pre><code>[slick_map lat="48.2082" lng="16.3738" zoom="13" height="400px" provider="leaflet"]
</code></pre>
Geo-mashup of posts and pages:
<pre><code>[slick_map mashup="post,page"]
</code></pre>
KML or GPX overlay:
<pre><code>[slick_map kml="https://example.com/track.kml"]
[slick_map provider="leaflet" gpx="https://example.com/hike.gpx"]
</code></pre>
KML works with both providers; GPX requires the Leaflet provider (Google’s Maps JS API does not natively render GPX).
Markers with addresses and custom icons (nested <code>[marker]</code> children):
<pre><code>[slick_map zoom="6"]
[marker address="Vienna, Austria" title="Home"]
[marker lat="52.5" lng="13.4" title="Berlin" icon="https://example.com/star.png"]
[/slick_map]
</code></pre>
Each <code>[marker]</code> accepts <code>address</code> (geocoded once and cached) or explicit <code>lat</code>/<code>lng</code>, plus optional <code>title</code> and <code>icon</code>.
The <code>icon</code> attribute accepts either an <code>https://…</code> URL pointing to your own image, or one of the bundled short names: <code>default</code>, <code>restaurant</code>, <code>lodging</code>, <code>cafe</code>, <code>bar</code>, <code>museum</code>, <code>airport</code>, <code>rail</code>, <code>shop</code>, <code>camera</code>, <code>mountain</code>, <code>castle</code>, <code>religious</code>. Legacy filenames from the 2014-era plugin (<code>1-default.png</code>, <code>museum_naval.png</code>, <code>hotel_0star.png</code>, …) are auto-aliased to the nearest modern equivalent.
For geo-mashup markers, set a <code>marker_icon</code> custom field on each post to override the default pin for just that post.
<h4>Map controls and layers</h4>
Toggle Google’s built-in UI: <code>zoomcontrol</code>, <code>maptypecontrol</code>, <code>streetviewcontrol</code>, <code>scrollwheel</code>, <code>draggable</code> (all default <code>true</code>).
Google-only overlays: <code>showbike="true"</code>, <code>showtraffic="true"</code>.
45° aerial tilt: <code>tilt="45"</code>. Only takes visible effect on a Google vector Map ID, or in satellite/hybrid view over cities where Google has 45° imagery. Ignored elsewhere.
Custom Google map styles JSON: <code>styles='[{"featureType":"poi","stylers":[{"visibility":"off"}]}]'</code> (ignored when a Map ID is configured — cloud styling takes precedence).
<h4>DMS coordinates</h4>
Marker <code>lat</code> / <code>lng</code> values accept either decimal (<code>48.2082</code>) or DMS form (<code>48°12'29.5"N</code>).
<h4>Wiki-style links</h4>
Marker titles support <code>[[https://example.com|Display text]]</code> to embed real links, or <code>[[Plain Page]]</code> for unlinked highlighted text.
<h4>Geocoding</h4>
When a Google Maps API key is configured the plugin uses the Google Geocoding API (same Cloud project as Maps; enable Geocoding API alongside Maps JavaScript). Otherwise it falls back to Nominatim/OpenStreetMap. Results are cached in a 30-day transient per address, so each unique address is geocoded at most once.
<h4>Privacy</h4>
Using the Google provider loads scripts and tiles from <code>maps.googleapis.com</code>. Using the Leaflet/OSM provider loads tiles from <code>tile.openstreetmap.org</code> and the Leaflet library from <code>unpkg.com</code>. Choose the provider that matches your site’s privacy posture.
<h3>Parity & rewrite</h3>
Version 1.0.0 is a complete rewrite of the 2015 codebase. The old plugin’s PHP and JavaScript were written against WordPress 3.6 and PHP 5, used the long-retired Google JSAPI loader, geocoded addresses on every page view, shipped 300+ marker PNGs of mixed provenance, and had several unauthenticated AJAX write paths in <code>wp-admin</code>. Re-issuing it as-is on a modern stack was not viable, so the codebase was rewritten from scratch around the same shortcode vocabulary.
What you keep. Posts written against the very old <code>[google-map-v3 ...]</code> shortcode still render. The plugin registers <code>google-map-v3</code> as a back-compatibility alias that maps the still-useful attributes (<code>width</code>, <code>height</code>, <code>zoom</code>, <code>kml</code>, <code>maptype</code>, <code>addmarkermashup</code>, <code>addmarkerlist</code>, <code>maptypecontrol</code>, <code>zoomcontrol</code>, <code>streetviewcontrol</code>, <code>scrollwheel</code>, <code>draggable</code>, <code>showbike</code>, <code>showtraffic</code>, <code>tiltfourtyfive</code>, <code>styles</code>) onto the new renderer. The Google provider is selected by default for these legacy shortcodes, the old <code>addmarkerlist="addr{}icon{}desc|..."</code> packed format is parsed transparently, and the most-used legacy icon filenames (<code>1-default.png</code>, <code>museum_naval.png</code>, <code>hotel_0star.png</code>, …) are aliased to the bundled modern SVG set.
What’s gone for good. Some features can’t come back because the upstream services or APIs disappeared:
<ul>
<li><code>panoramio</code> — Google shut Panoramio down in November 2016.</li>
<li><code>pancontrol</code> — Google removed <code>panControl</code> from the Maps API in 2017; there is no flag to set anymore.</li>
<li><code>google.maps.KmlLayer</code> — deprecated April 2026; replaced internally with a <code>fetch</code> + KML→GeoJSON renderer.</li>
<li>The old <code>https://www.google.com/jsapi</code> loader — retired by Google in 2017; the modern loader requires a user-supplied API key.</li>
</ul>
What’s not yet back. Marker clustering, directions/routing, geolocation marker, and marker drop/bounce animations are reachable from the rewrite but not yet wired up. See <a href="https://github.com/norbusan/slick-google-map-plugin/blob/master/PARITY.md" rel="nofollow ugc">PARITY.md</a> on GitHub for the full, categorised list (restored / new / missing-but-doable / deprecated-by-upstream / deliberately-dropped) plus a migration cheat-sheet.
What was dropped on purpose. The sidebar widget (Classic Widgets is in long-term legacy mode), the saved-shortcodes admin library (it was the largest single security surface in the old plugin), and the 300+ marker PNG library (replaced with 13 modern SVGs plus a legacy-filename alias map) — see <code>PARITY.md</code> for the rationale on each.
