The old way is broken

Most SEO plugins measure effort. Metasift measures what ranks.

Legacy tooling hands you a traffic light for every sentence and calls it optimization. You clear forty checkboxes, hit publish, and the page still lands on page four — because none of those checks came from the pages already winning your query.

  • 01Checklists from 2014. "Use the keyword in the first paragraph" stopped being the difference between rank 2 and rank 8 a decade ago.
  • 02Upsells at every corner. Redirects, rank tracking and schema each locked behind a second subscription.
  • 03Bloat that wounds the factor it sells. Heavy admin scripts dragging Core Web Vitals into the yellow.
  • 04No link to results. A green dot that never tells you whether traffic moved.
— 01 / Features

One panel, every ranking signal.

Replaces the meta box, sitemap generator, schema renderer and rank tracker you currently run as four separate plugins.

/01

Content scoring, benchmarked to the SERP

Every block measured against the pages already holding the top ten. Metasift shows the gap, not a decade-old best-practice list.

/02

Structured data that passes first try

Sixteen schema types generated per block and validated against the Rich Results test before the page reaches the DOM.

16schema types
/03

Sitemaps that reflect real renders

Content, image, news and video sitemaps split by type. lastmod comes from when the page actually changed, not the post-modified column.

<50kper file
/04

Redirect manager that cleans itself

Regex and wildcard 301s with loop protection, chain-shortening and a sweep that fires the moment you rename a permalink.

Rank tracking across every surface

Daily desktop, mobile and local positions for the keywords you choose, grouped by page and blended with Search Console.

Core Web Vitals guard

Monitors LCP, CLS and INP per template and names the exact block, image or plugin dragging your field data into the yellow.

— 06 / FAQ

Questions before checkout.

The docs go deeper. Still stuck? A real engineer reads every ticket.

No. Scoring and analysis run in your browser inside the editor, not on every page load. On the front end Metasift outputs static HTML and cached JSON-LD, adding under 4 KB to a typical page and zero render-blocking scripts. Independent benchmarks put it among the lightest SEO plugins tested.
Yes. The setup wizard imports titles, meta descriptions, focus keywords, redirects and schema from those three automatically. You keep every setting, your URLs never change, and the old plugin can be deactivated the moment the import finishes.
It integrates with Gutenberg, the Classic Editor, Elementor, Divi and Beaver Builder. Any registered custom post type with a public URL gets full meta, sitemap and schema support, and a single filter opts any custom taxonomy into breadcrumbs and title templates.
Positions are pulled daily from a SERP index covering Google desktop, mobile and local results across 240 regions. Nothing is scraped from your visitors and no script loads on your public pages to gather it. Connect Search Console to blend real impressions and clicks onto the same chart.
A no-card seven-day trial of the full Pro plan runs on a sandbox site, and a permanent free tier covers one site with title templates, sitemaps, basic schema and the content checker. Rank tracking, the link assistant and the redirect manager are paid.
Every byte Metasift stores lives in your WordPress database, not ours. Cancel and the plugin keeps working on the free tier; export titles, redirects and keyword history to CSV any time. Your content is never held hostage.
