Why it's different
Most SEO plugins tax every page load
Popular SEO plugins ship megabytes of admin assets, inline scripts, and stylesheets that your visitors pay for on every request. Rankal takes the opposite approach: everything heavy stays in the admin, and the frontend receives only the markup search engines actually read.

Questions
Frequently asked
Will it slow down my site?
No — that's the entire point of the plugin. It adds roughly 4KB to your frontend and ships zero render-blocking JavaScript or CSS files. Everything heavy lives in the admin, where your visitors never load it.
Can I import my settings from Yoast or Rank Math?
Yes. Under Tools → Import/Export you can pull titles, descriptions, and canonical settings from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, or All in One SEO in one click.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. Product, category, and shop pages all get full meta tags, Open Graph, and schema automatically. Advanced product schema and out-of-stock noindex are Pro features.
Do I need a paid account for the free version?
No. Every free feature works without an account, a license key, or an API key.
Which AI providers does Magic AI support?
Groq (which has a free tier), OpenAI, and Anthropic. Magic AI is a Pro feature and uses your own API key, so you control the cost.
