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.
