The WordPress SEO plugin built around entities and schema
NexalSEO is a free WordPress SEO plugin that handles meta tags, XML sitemaps, redirects, breadcrumbs and schema for blogs, business sites and WooCommerce stores. What sets it apart: your structured data ships as one connected entity graph, and the content analysis runs on your own server. Coming from Yoast or Rank Math? The importer brings your SEO titles and descriptions with you.

NexalSEO FAQ
Is NexalSEO free?
Yes. The plugin on WordPress.org is free, works on unlimited sites and has no time limit. Pro is a paid add-on for internal-linking automation and advanced WooCommerce and Local SEO tools.
Can I import my settings from Yoast SEO or Rank Math?
Yes. The importer copies SEO titles, meta descriptions and focus keywords from posts, pages, products and categories. Deactivate the old plugin afterwards so your pages don’t print two sets of meta tags.
Does NexalSEO send my content anywhere?
Not by default. The content analysis runs on your server. AI features stay off unless you add your own API key and trigger them yourself.
