FAQ
Do I need Yoast SEO or Rank Math installed?
No, the plugin works without any SEO plugin installed. However, SEO metadata (focus keywords, meta descriptions) will only be set if you have Yoast SEO or Rank Math active.
How do I connect SEO Rocket to my WordPress site?
- Generate an Application Password in WordPress (Users > Your Profile > Application Passwords)
- Add your WordPress site URL and Application Password in SEO Rocket’s integrations settings
- Test the connection to verify everything works
Why aren’t Yoast SEO scores showing for published articles?
This plugin includes automatic indexables rebuilding for Yoast SEO. If scores still don’t appear, try:
1. Edit the post in WordPress and click Update (this forces Yoast to recalculate)
2. Check that WP_DEBUG is disabled in production
Is this plugin compatible with other SEO plugins?
Currently, the plugin supports Yoast SEO and Rank Math. Support for additional SEO plugins may be added in future versions.
Does this plugin slow down my site?
No. The plugin only adds lightweight REST API endpoints and hooks. It has no impact on frontend performance.
