SEOPress 9.9 is now available. We encourage you to update your site as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features, improvements and security fixes. |
🎉 A brand new SEO dashboard |
The first thing you’ll see when you open SEOPress is a completely redesigned dashboard with a modern two-column layout, built in React for faster and easier user experience. |
The installation wizard has been fully rebuilt: faster, mobile-friendly, and easier to follow from start to finish. |
New users get up and running in minutes, no SEO background required. |
🎉 A smarter universal SEO metabox when you write |
The universal SEO metabox (the one you see when editing a post or page) gets some seriously useful upgrades: |
- Edit target keywords in place: Just double-click a keyword to change it. No extra clicks, no separate modal.
- Google keyword suggestions with autocomplete: Start typing in the suggestions field and pick a relevant keyword from the dropdown. Discover what real users search for, right inside your editor.
- One “Update” saves everything: In the Block Editor, clicking the regular Update button now saves every section of the SEO box at once (Title, Description, Advanced, Social, Redirections, Content Analysis). No more tab-by-tab saving.
|
🎉 Smarter Content Analysis for AI crawlers |
We’ve added new content quality and structure checks to help you write articles that both readers and search engines love. Things like: |
- Is your content long enough?
- Do you have enough subheadings to make it skimmable?
- Are your sections well-balanced?
|
And if a particular suggestion doesn’t apply to a given page, you can now hide it for that page only, straight from the editor sidebar. Your checklist stays focused on what actually matters. |
🎉 Migrate from SureRank and SmartCrawl |
Already using another SEO plugin? Switching to SEOPress just got easier: |
- New: one-click migration from SureRank
- Improved: full migration from SmartCrawl, including automatic translation of the variables in your titles and meta descriptions
Your settings, your metadata, your work, all moved across without manual cleanup. |
🎉 New – Video schema, auto-filled |
Drop a YouTube link in your post? SEOPress automatically populates the Video schema with the title, description, duration and thumbnail. Zero manual copy-paste. |
🎉 A huge accessibility upgrade |
SEOPress 9.9 ships with a major accessibility pass across the entire admin: keyboard navigation, focus indicators, screen reader support, color contrast. The whole React admin is now WCAG 2.1 AA and RGAA 4.1 compliant.
As a bonus, the SEO admin now automatically matches your WordPress color scheme, pick blue, midnight, sunrise, ectoplasm… SEOPress adapts.
Of course, we can always do better, but this is already a major improvement! |
We squashed many bugs along the way, including: |
- Google snippet preview no longer shows the Elementor template instead of your actual post;
- Internal Linking tab no longer crashes the whole SEO metabox;
- Title templates now preserve spaces around variables on save;
- Custom field variables (%%_cf_*%%, %%_ct_*%%, %%_ucf_*%%) now work on the home page and blog page;
- X (Twitter) handle is automatically cleaned up in social tags;
- OpenAI “Test connection” works again after OpenAI retired the previous endpoint;
- AI metadata uses the correct language per post on WPML / Polylang sites;
- Redirections with accented or non-Latin URLs are now saved correctly;
- Translations load correctly when running WP-CLI commands or cron jobs;
- and so much more!

For developers, three new filters land in this release for fine-grained control on the PRO side: |
