SEO Fury – Lightning-Fast SEO + GEO: Schema, Redirects, llms.txt & More

Registo de alterações

1.7.17

• Reviews: compact cards — Display → Card size, or size=”compact” in the shortcode: smaller text and avatars, 3 lines before “Read more”.
• Reviews: platform filter, “Read more” and “Leave a review” keep their look on themes that style every button (Elementor kits gave them thick red borders and large padding).
• Reviews: “Leave a review” opens the review form right under the reviews when the page has no form of its own (it did nothing before).
• Reviews: “Reply from the company” lines up at the bottom of each card; short reviews no longer get a “Read more” because of theme paragraph margins.

1.7.16

• Reviews: the “Replace other plugins’ shortcodes” tool (now also on Reviews → Import & export) swaps the MyReviews widget for SEO Fury’s reviews — in post content and in Elementor HTML widgets, which become Shortcode widgets with their spacing kept. Undo works as before.
• Reviews: a platform’s rating on the Sources screen is the platform’s own (for example 4.3 on Yandex, which counts star ratings left without text) when SEO Fury PRO collects it, instead of the average of the collected reviews.

1.7.15

• Reviews: Google Maps links (and other long profile links) can be saved — a link longer than 255 characters used to fail with “Could not save the platform”.
• “Clear cache”: the message listing what was cleared wraps inside its box instead of running off the screen.
• Auto-clear cache on settings save also reacts to the SEO Fury PRO settings that change what pages show (Google Analytics, Article Rating and other older modules) — switching the Google Analytics mode no longer leaves cached pages with the old tracking code.

1.7.14

Moving off Post Views Counter and Yet Another Stars Rating.

• “Replace other plugins’ shortcodes in posts” now also replaces the [post-views] shortcode of Post Views Counter with [seo_fury_views] and, with SEO Fury PRO, the [yasr_visitor_votes] shortcodes and block of Yet Another Stars Rating with the SEO Fury article rating — in post content and Elementor layouts (icon lists, text and shortcode widgets). The tool is on Content Tools → Table of Contents, Post Views → Tools and (PRO) Article Rating; undo works as before.
• Post Views: [post-views] keeps showing a view counter once Post Views Counter is turned off, even before the replacement.

1.7.13

• Post Views: saving the settings clears Elementor’s cache, so a new label or icon shows at once in counters placed in Elementor layouts (Elementor keeps rendered widgets as HTML).

1.7.12

Table of contents above the article, with a short list that opens on demand.

• Table of Contents: new position “Above the featured image” — in page-builder articles the title, breadcrumbs and post details are part of the content, so “At the top” landed above the title; this puts the list right above the main image of the post (falls back to “Before the first heading” when the image is not in the content).
• Table of Contents: “Headings shown at first” — a long list shows only its first headings and a “Show all” link that opens the rest (“Show fewer” closes it). Search engines still read every heading. Shortcode attribute visible=”5″.
• Russian: the module is called “Оглавление” everywhere (some screens said “Содержание”).

1.7.11

Fix from user feedback.

• Menu: a section could appear twice in the sidebar (e.g. “Content & Links” and “System”) when the menu layout had been saved in Preferences by an earlier version — tabs the saved layout did not know opened the default section again under the same title. Sections with the same title are now shown as one.

1.7.10

Moving from LuckyWP Table of Contents, and post details that look right in page builders.

• Table of Contents: “Replace another plugin’s table of contents in posts” (Content Tools → Table of Contents) finds the shortcodes and blocks of LuckyWP Table of Contents, Easy Table of Contents and Table of Contents Plus, and the LuckyWP widget inside Elementor layouts, and puts the SEO Fury table of contents in their place with the same heading, levels and numbering. Shows the list of posts first; posts are not re-saved (the modified date stays), each keeps a copy, and the replacement can be undone. Elementor CSS and page caches are cleared afterwards.
• Table of Contents: the LuckyWP widget saved in Elementor layouts shows the SEO Fury table of contents as soon as LuckyWP is turned off — even before the replacement.
• Table of Contents: in the Elementor editor the shortcode shows a placeholder instead of an empty box.
• Post Views: the [seo_fury_views] counter takes the font and colour of the text around it (it was smaller and faded inside a post details row); only the counter added under the post keeps the muted look.
• Post Views: no second counter under the post when the content already shows one (Elementor runs shortcodes before the automatic counter is added).
• Post Views: the counter’s styles load when Elementor serves the widget from its cache.

1.7.9

Improvements from user feedback.

• 404 Monitor: new “Log 404s from” setting — choose which requests may file a 404: visitors who followed a link, requests without a referring page (typed addresses, but also most bots posing as browsers), search engine crawlers, other bots and tools, vulnerability scanners, and requests your own server makes (link scanners, SEO audit, cache preloading — now off by default). A new site nobody links to no longer has to collect thousands of bot probes such as /zh/, /vi/ or /?author=2. Replaces the old “Ignore Bots” switch; existing settings carry over.
• “Ignore addresses”: one pattern per line with * wildcards (e.g. /zh/*); matching requests are never logged.
• New filters “Missing pages — from a link” and “Missing pages — without referring page”, so the junk can be selected and deleted in one go.
• “Delete resolved” button deletes only fixed entries; “Clear All” is now “Delete entire log” and says what it removes. “Refresh” is now “Reload list” and explains that the 404 log records requests — it is not a scan (that is the Link Scanner).
• Re-check icon on every open 404 row.
• Author enumeration (/?author=N) counts as a scanner request.

1.7.8

Fixes from user feedback.

• 404 Monitor no longer logs addresses that are redirected. WordPress sends the 404 status before redirects run (SEO Fury redirects, WordPress’s own “did you mean” redirect, other plugins), and the monitor logged at that moment — so URLs that answer 301 and then open a working page showed up as open 404s. The request is now logged only when the response really ends as 404.
• New “Re-check open 404s” button (and “Re-check status” bulk action): every open address is requested again, and the ones that work now — page restored or caught by a redirect — are marked as resolved. Run it once after the update to clear entries logged by the bug above.
• The status column shows the error code “404” instead of “Active”; the tile is now “Open 404 errors” and the filter “Open (404)”.
• “Find” popup renamed “Find a page to redirect to”: it explains what it is for, says what the address answers right now (still 404, or already redirected / working — with a one-click “Mark as resolved”), and finds pages with a similar address or title even when umlauts are spelled differently (oe / ö / o). “Create a redirect manually” is always offered.
• Block editor: the SEO Fury sidebar no longer goes blank and jumps back to the top every minute. It was moved out of the sidebar on every save — autosaves included — and stayed empty afterwards; now it stays put and only a copy of its fields is handed to WordPress’s save.

1.7.7

Fix from user feedback.

• Internal link suggestions in the editor no longer offer pairs of filler words as anchors (“für ein”, “sind auf”, “sie ihre”). Articles, prepositions and pronouns are ignored in English, German, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Polish (filter seo_fury_stop_words), phrases must match whole words, and a three-word phrase from the title is preferred over two words.

1.7.6

Fix from user feedback.

• SEO Fury PRO no longer stays switched off after its update. Some sites found PRO deactivated after every update and had to switch it on again by hand (the licence itself was never lost). The free plugin now notes that PRO was active when its update starts and, if WordPress leaves it off afterwards, switches it back on at the next admin page and says so in a notice. A deliberate deactivation on the Plugins screen is respected.
• Support tickets attach a short log of the last PRO updates (started, finished, active or not), so a deactivation can be traced.

1.7.5

Fixes from user feedback.

• Preferences: new switch “Always show all menu sections expanded” for everyone who prefers to see all tools in one scroll. Off (default): only the section of the open screen is expanded.
• Menu sections with a single tool fold like the others.
• Dashboard: the label inside the score ring (“SEO-BEWERTUNG”, “PUNTUACIÓN SEO”) wraps inside the circle instead of touching the ring in German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
• Plugin menu reorganised: SEO Audit and Reports sit under Overview next to the Dashboard; Schema Templates under General; Reviews under Content & Links; AI Traffic, AI Crawlers and LLMs.txt under AI Tools; Hreflang, Speed and Page Speed under Technical SEO. A layout saved in Preferences is kept (Reset to defaults picks up the new one).
• WordPress dashboard widget: “Configure” in the widget header chooses what it shows — score, each tile (redirects, 404s, images without alt, missing descriptions, and the new “Pages scoring below 50”), setup progress, open setup steps and buttons. Per user.
• Bulk URL conversion only counts pages search engines may index (the sitemap’s post types, published, without noindex): Elementor kits, other builder templates and drafts are left out.

1.7.4

Fixes and one feature from user feedback.

• Table of contents: a “Table of contents” tab in the SEO Fury editor panel. Besides show / hide, a page can now have its own heading levels, nesting, numbering, heading text and minimum number of headings — for posts that need a different structure than the site-wide settings. Block and shortcode settings still win.
• The LuckyWP import also carries over per-post heading settings, not only “show / hide”.
• 404 statistics: “Active” now counts missing pages only, the same number as the dashboard; scanner requests have their own tile. Click “Active” to list those pages.
• Dashboard: the score summary under the verdict is split into two lines.
• Plugin menu: groups fold like an accordion — the group of the open screen is expanded, a click on a group heading opens or closes the others (wide menu only; the icon-only menu and small screens stay unchanged).
• Elementor: the Author Box “hide on this post” switch is saved from the Elementor panel too.
• Long translations no longer overflow: widget settings menu on the dashboard (size buttons wrap), sitemap post type rows, 404 log column headers, buttons and link stats in the editor sidebar, and seven tabs in the classic editor sidebar.

1.7.3

Fixes from user feedback.

• One SEO score everywhere: with a site audit (PRO) the WordPress dashboard panel and the SEO dashboard show the audit’s score and page count, instead of a separate average that disagreed with it.
• The dashboard score and counts cover only indexable pages — the post types in the XML sitemap, published, not noindex. Page-builder templates (Elementor kits, ElementsKit templates…) and drafts no longer count.
• 404 log: requests from vulnerability scanners (/.env, wp-config.php.bak, debug.log, .php files…) are recognised and marked “Scanner”. They are left out of the dashboard 404 numbers, can be filtered in the log, and get no redirect buttons.
• The 404 tile is amber instead of red: a missing page is a task, not an error in the SEO score.
• WordPress dashboard panel: stat tiles fit narrow columns (two per row when the column is narrow, long words wrap).

1.7.2

Fixes from user feedback.

• No sideways scrollbar in the post sidebar in German and other languages with long words: the titles of the Table of contents, Post views and Article rating boxes now wrap instead of pushing the box wider than the sidebar.
• The SEO Fury editor sidebar can no longer scroll sideways.
• Long URLs wrap inside their column in the Blocked IPs list and the 404 log instead of running over the next columns.

1.7.1

Fixes and small improvements from user feedback.

• Tables line up again next to the Folders plugin, which added an empty “move to folder” column to every table on the plugin screens.
• No horizontal scrollbar in the post editor’s SEO Fury sidebar (the Canonical URL field and the Table of contents box were a few pixels too wide).
• Settings tabs come last: Post Views now reads Overview, Reports, Tools, Settings; in Reviews, Analytics comes right after the reviews and Settings at the end.
• The dashboard’s “Add widget” button sits in the page header line instead of taking a row of its own.
• The Image SEO and License screens use the full width of the window.
• The SEO score popup in the posts list can open the editor straight on the matching SEO Fury tab (Schema, Links, Advanced, the snippet’s Social tab).
• Most viewed dashboard card: long titles end in “…” and the view counts stay in place.

1.7.0

Content Tools: a table of contents, reading time and one-click copies of posts and pages — three fewer plugins to keep.

Table of contents (new)
* Built from the headings of the rendered post, so it works with the block editor, the Classic editor, Elementor and other page builders.
* Inserted automatically before or after the first heading, after the first paragraph, at the top or at the bottom — or placed by hand with the “Table of Contents” block or [seo_fury_toc]; [seo_fury_no_toc] or the Table of contents box in the editor turns it off for one post.
* Heading levels, minimum number of headings, nested or flat list, nested or simple numbering, headings to skip, collapsible (open or closed at first), smooth scrolling with a space for sticky headers, colours that follow the theme or a light / dark box, full width or wrapped by the text.
* Every heading gets a short Latin anchor from its text (Cyrillic is transliterated), so the “Jump to” links Google shows stay readable; anchors a heading already has are kept.
* Replaces LuckyWP Table of Contents: its settings and per-post choices are imported in one click, and its [lwptoc] shortcode and block keep working, as do [ez-toc] and [toc].

Reading time (new)
* A line such as “5 min read · Updated 12 September · 1,240 views” before or after posts — reading time, publication date, last updated date (only when the post was changed) and the view count from Post Views, in any combination.
* Reading speed and time per image can be set; the text can be your own (“Reading time: {time} min”). Counts words in any alphabet and in Elementor layouts.
* The “Reading Time” block, [seo_fury_post_info], [seo_fury_reading_time] and seo_fury_get_reading_time() for themes.
* The reading time and word count are added to the Article structured data (timeRequired, wordCount).
* Replaces Reading Time WP: settings import, and its [rt_reading_time] shortcode keeps working.

Duplicate (new)
* “Duplicate” under every post and page in the lists, as a bulk action, in the Publish box of the Classic editor and in the block editor.
* Copies the content, excerpt, featured image, template, categories, tags, custom taxonomies, custom fields, page-builder layouts (Elementor, JetEngine…) and the SEO Fury settings; view counts, ratings, audit results and a canonical URL pointing at the original are left out.
* The copy is saved as a draft (or pending / private) with you as the author, so search engines never see two identical pages; an optional text can be added to its title.

Plugins you no longer need
* Now also spots LuckyWP Table of Contents, Easy Table of Contents, Table of Contents Plus, Reading Time WP, Duplicate Page, Yoast Duplicate Post, Post Duplicator and — with PRO — WPCode, Code Snippets and Header Footer Code Manager (only while they add header / footer code, never when they run PHP snippets).

Translations
* Every new text in Russian, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.

1.6.0

The big update: a new design for every screen, a post view counter, SEO fields for terms, and a full security and performance audit.

New design
* Every plugin screen redesigned — cards, switches, sub-tabs, tables and stat tiles in one style, in light and dark themes, readable on phones. A “New design” switch in the top bar returns to the classic look at any time.
* New Dashboard: an overview card with the average SEO score and setup progress (x/6), an Action plan that lists what to fix first, a full-width Search performance chart, and new widgets — SEO score distribution, Metadata coverage, Content freshness, New 404 errors per day, Most used redirects, Most viewed. Every tile has an “i” hint.
* The post editor in the new design: the SEO box in the Classic editor, the block-editor sidebar and the Elementor panel — a score ring with SEO / Readability / Extra meters, problems first, a Google preview like today’s results page, length meters for title, description and permalink. Snippet editor, Schema Generator and Schema Editor windows redesigned.
* The SEO Fury panels on the WordPress Dashboard, the “Delete SEO Fury” dialog and all modals follow the new design.
* SEO Fury opens the plugins block of the admin menu; the menu bolt stays red on every screen.

Post Views (new module)
* Counts views of posts, pages and other public types — by a tiny script after the page loads (works with page caching, skips bots), through the REST API, or in PHP; a count interval per browser; bots, logged-in users, roles and IP addresses can be excluded; optional counting only after analytics consent. No personal data is stored.
* The counter after the content of posts by default, or anywhere with the [seo_fury_views] shortcode, the “Post Views” block or PHP; most viewed lists with [seo_fury_most_viewed], a block and a widget; sort any WP_Query by views; REST endpoints.
* A sortable Views column, the count in the toolbar, a Post views box in the editor, a WordPress Dashboard panel and two SEO Fury dashboard cards.
* Overview with views per day and the most viewed pages; import from Post Views Counter, WP-PostViews, Page Views Count and Statify.

Also new
* SEO fields for every category, tag and custom taxonomy term — SEO title and description, noindex / nofollow, canonical URL and social image. Canonical tags on the home page and all archives.
* “Plugins you no longer need” — SEO Fury spots active plugins whose job it already does (redirects, sitemaps, breadcrumbs, schema, cookie notice, IndexNow, llms.txt and more), says what to switch on first and offers to deactivate them.

Security
* Stored XSS through post Schema data and Schema templates closed; Schema templates, the .htaccess editor, robots.txt deletion and the IndexNow key file need the right role (super admin on multisite, DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT / DISALLOW_FILE_MODS respected); regex redirects can no longer send visitors to another site; the internal-link checker only requests your own site; ticket replies, the Writer API and CSV exports hardened.
* Sites connected to Search Console with one click no longer store the shared Google client secret — tokens are refreshed through the SEO Fury sign-in proxy; an old saved secret is deleted automatically.

WordPress.org guidelines
* One-click AI and web-archive bot blocking, the site-wide Organization / WebSite schema graph and White Label now live entirely in PRO. AJAX actions and database tables use the seo_fury_ prefix (existing data moves automatically). Inline scripts go through the WordPress script API; the “External services” section was rewritten.

Performance and fixes
* Faster redirects, 404 logging, sitemaps, dashboards and bulk Schema actions; the posts list no longer runs audits while it loads; old log rows are pruned.
* Fixed: the Search Console chart could fall back to plain bars; dark-mode problems (white Schema generator, white checkboxes, glowing dividers); doubled divider lines and cards inside cards; a PHP warning on the Dashboard.
* Accessibility: better keyboard and screen-reader support, right-to-left layouts; titles no longer show codes like –.

Translations
* Plural forms and translator notes throughout; every new text in Russian, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.

1.5.5

• Added: Support tab: tickets and ideas are now kept per site. By default the list shows only what was sent from this WordPress install; a “This site / All sites” switch shows everything in your SEO Fury account, with the site each item came from. Items from your other sites are counted under the list so they never go missing.
• Added: every block on the plugin screens can be collapsed with the arrow next to its title — handy for settings you set up once (API keys, bot protection, cache settings) so the daily charts move up. Collapsed blocks are remembered per user; the arrow opens them again.
• Fixed: Page Speed in dark mode — the score inside the ring, the metric cards (FCP, LCP, TBT, CLS, SI, TTI), the Mobile/Desktop switch and the empty score badges stayed light and hard to read.
