SEOPress 6.7 is now available. We encourage you to update your site as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features and improvements.
🎉 New – Brand new design for our SEO dashboard
Most of you know that at SEOPress we are constantly listening to our users. They are the ones who give the best feedback, remarks and criticisms to help us move forward. After several weeks of reflection and testing, we are happy to present the first iteration of our work which focused on the SEO dashboard.
Emphasis was placed on the reorganization of blocks to facilitate access to essential modules and thus increase productivity. The user interface has been modernized, and responsive design is finally here.
The notification center and access to documentation are now accessible from all SEOPress pages by clicking the dedicated icons in our toolbar.
Many improvements are planned over the next updates including better accessibility, new blocks (Search Console…) for the dashboard and much more.
Remember to empty your browser’s cache after the update to be sure to benefit from the latest design.
🎉 New – Table of Contents block for Gutenberg (PRO)
A new block is now available with the PRO version of SEOPress 6.7: “Table of contents“.
Easily adding a table of contents with the block editor is finally a piece of cake.
Once the block has been added to your content or page template, click on it to define which levels of headings to display, or even customize its appearance.
This greatly improves the user experience for long articles. But also to your SEO by allowing Google, via the automatic creation of anchors on your titles, to directly point a search result towards the latter.
🎉 New – Cleaning your source code
Since the origins of SEOPress, we have always offered options to clean up your source code by removing some totally unnecessary parts.
Less code to browse for search engines, less power consumption, more performance.
SEOPress 6.7 goes further by offering to remove oEmbed links, as well as two HTTP headers “WordPress X-Pingback” and “WordPress X-Powered-By“.
Go to SEO, Advanced, Advanced tab to enable them. It’s free!
