It’s clearly built with performance in mind. Despite its minimal size, it offers a solid set of SEO features for bloggers, publishers, and developers. From my first experience, Rankal has the potential to become a serious competitor to Rank Math, especially for WordPress users looking for a faster, no- bloat SEO solution. It’s definitely a plugin worth keeping an eye on.
