New left-side navigation.

What’s New:
- The top navigation has been replaced with a sleek left-side navigation bar.
- All screens have been updated to seamlessly align with the new layout.

- The app now checks the existence of a sitemap so it can be discovered even if it is not referenced in the robots.txt file. There’s a new task that checks the presence of structured data on the user’s website, and we have the first AI feature available for our users: AI metatags generator for Evolution plans!

New Onboarding Wizard
We’ve simplified the initial setup of the SEO plugin, and the user is presented with a series of screens to configure:
- Website goal
- Website industry
- Country target
- Competitors (can include AI-powered suggestions)
- Users can customize markup individually for each post and page.
- The plugin is now using Lighthouse audits for mobile friendliness checks.
- A redesigned sidebar in the post editor: neatly organized and explained tasks, easily track your progress in each with color-coded indicators (green for completed, red for pending).
- We now have AI features! Generate titles and meta descriptions for posts on the fly. We have also added the Norwegian language to our tools and now allow users to remove focus keywords.
- We have improved Spanish translations, made opimizations to the codebase in order to facilitate quicker development, and deployed a fix for our robots.txt task.
- This includes a deactivation survey (v.75.6) to understand the reasons behind plugin deactivation (very useful for our Partners), improved product data analytics using PostHog events (v.75.7), and improved translations. We also integrated the plugin under a co-branded scheme with a new Partner which you’ll hear about soon!
- New feature! ‘Search Appearance’ allows you to control how your site appears in search results. Edit Company Information, Homepage, Post, Pages, Archives and Taxonomies in which users can customize according to their preferences.
- Aware that solving several SEO tasks can be tedious, we want to make it easier for you to complete them. In this new version of the plugin, every time you solve a task and you have others pending, they will appear in order of importance on the same page, saving you time to return to Optimize to do a new scan.
- You can check how many positions a keyword has increased or decreased from the past month. There, you can easily identify your progress on SERPs. We have also included the traffic volume variation related to that position change from the last month. Access this insightful information on the “SEO Traffic” section within Analyze.
- Now, when you verify whether one of your tasks has been completed successfully, you will see the results much faster, and your SEO Score is also now calculated much quicker and simultaneously to the task verification.
- If your website does not have a robots.txt file and/or sitemap, that issue will now be fixed auto-magically! Without you having to do anything manually, they are resolved. This way, search engines will have an easier time understanding your entire website’s content and structure.
- Competitor recommendations are now better suited to your site and market. Give it a try!
- Your SEO score, priority site tasks and posts with improvement opportunities are now available in the top bar of your WordPress admin space. You can start optimizing with just 1 click! If it gets in your way, you can deactivate it from within the plugin’s Settings.
- There are visual improvements to the Analyze section, to help you quickly and easily understand the SEO status of your website.
- Analyze has a new structure! You will find the information divided into more visual sections, so it’s easier to read at-a-glance.
- The structure of the keyword report now shows current detailed data first, and then the monthly evolution section.
- The Optimize section has a new structure.
- Tasks related to the entire website are now separated from those that only refer to specific pages and content.
- Tasks that have been completed correctly are now summarised and can be reviewed.
