SEO plugin · Respira for WordPress

Respira and Rank Math

With Rank Math active, Respira writes a page's SEO title, description, focus keyword, canonical URL, robots and social titles into Rank Math's own fields, and scores a page against Rank Math's checks before it changes anything.

What works

  • Pages and posts: SEO title, description, focus keyword, canonical URL, Facebook and X (Twitter) titles and descriptions.
  • Robots: a value such as "noindex, nofollow" is stored as the list Rank Math reads.
  • Categories, tags and other terms get the same fields in Rank Math's term meta.
  • respira_analyze_rankmath scores a page against Rank Math's checks and returns the field changes to apply.
  • Each SEO field is stored as a single text value, the shape Rank Math's editor expects.

What it does not do

  • Rank Math's Redirections module is read, for the loop check and the redirect list, and never written. New redirects go to Redirection or Respira's own list.
  • Rank Math's schema builder and site-wide settings are not written; change them in Rank Math.

The tools involved

respira_update_page

Writes the page's SEO fields through its seo object, on a draft copy of a published page.

respira_update_post

The same for posts.

respira_update_term

SEO fields for a category, tag or other term.

respira_analyze_seo

Reads the page and its SEO fields and reports what to fix.

respira_check_seo_issues

Finds missing or duplicate titles and descriptions across the site.

respira_analyze_rankmath

Scores a page against Rank Math's checks, with ready field changes.

Every write saves a snapshot first, and on a published page the change lands on a draft copy you approve.

Prompts to try

  • Score the homepage against Rank Math and fix the title and description it flags.
  • Set a focus keyword on each product category from its name.
  • List pages with a Rank Math score under 60 and show me the changes before you apply them.
