SEOPress 6.6 is now available. We encourage you to update your site as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features and improvements.
🎉 New – Google Search Console third iteration
With SEOPress PRO, you can integrate your Search Console metrics right from your post type lists such as clicks, impressions, CTR and positions.
Now in version 6.6, you can also change the date range of your data (default: 3 months).
Plus, many users were using a domain property to add their site to Google Search Console causing a 403 error with SEOPress.
Instead of using the dedicated filter, you can simply check the “Domain property” option from SEO, PRO, Search Console for more convenience.
Our future update will continue to improve this integration.
🎉 New – Better performance and user experience
Thousand lines of code have been refactored and / or deleted in this new release. This bring improved performance, easier maintainability and reduced size of the plugin.
Our universal SEO metabox is now faster than ever. Plus, all input fields has been expanded for ease of use. Finally, the beacon can now also be moved around when you edit your content from the Block Editor. Of course, this is still possible from all page builders.
Our wizard will automatically suggests you to migrate SEO data when you have another SEO plugin activated on your WordPress site.
We add the “preconnect” attribute for Matomo Analytics JS script to slightly improve site speed.
We are also working hard on redesigning the entire SEOPress UI. More to come soon about this, make sure to subscribe to our newsletter below!
