RooSEO – Search Optimization and Redirects

FAQ

How does the Real-Time Content Analysis score my posts and pages?

RooSEO evaluates your content live as you type using an interactive 100-point audit checklist. It checks focus keyphrase placement, title sentiment, power words, heading structure (H2/H3), content readability, and media alt tags to guide your optimization.

What makes RooSEO lighter and faster than other SEO plugins?

RooSEO is built without database bloat or excessive background pings. It handles settings in a single consolidated option, disables unnecessary core head clutter (shortlinks, RSD, REST header links, emoji scripts), and allows fine-grained control over site feeds and internal search indexation.

What is the dynamic llms.txt feature and why do I need it?

llms.txt is an emerging standard that provides AI web crawlers and Large Language Models (like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity) with clean, structured Markdown maps of your most important content. RooSEO generates this automatically or allows manual curation.

How do XML sitemaps work in RooSEO?

RooSEO generates lightweight XML sitemaps for posts, pages, categories, tags, and author archives along with a styled XSL template. When active, it automatically disables native WordPress core sitemaps to prevent conflicts and duplicate indexing.

Can I set up automatic redirects when updating post permalinks?

Yes! RooSEO includes an automated redirection trigger. When enabled, updating a post or taxonomy slug automatically creates a 301 redirect rule from the old URL to the new one in the built-in Redirection Manager.

How does the 404 Error Monitor help my site?

The 404 Monitor logs broken incoming links, hit counts, and client IP addresses. You can set auto-pruning limits, add custom URL exclusion rules (such as /wp-admin or .php), and convert logged 404 entries directly into 301 redirect rules with a single click.
