Lightweight SEO for Better WordPress Rankings

Rank Bix SEO gives WordPress users a clean and practical way to manage SEO essentials, improve search visibility, create better social previews, generate structured data, manage redirects, and optimize content without installing many separate plugins.

External Services

Rank Bix SEO optionally connects to third-party AI services and search engine ping endpoints.

No data is sent to AI providers unless you configure an API key and manually click an AI generation button. Search engine pings can be disabled in settings.

AI Providers

The following services are contacted only when you have configured the corresponding API key in Rank Bix SEO → Settings → Advanced → AI Keys and clicked an AI generation button in the post editor.

When triggered, Rank Bix SEO sends the post title, site name, tone preference, and optionally a plain-text excerpt of the post content. You can disable sending post content in the same settings screen.

Search Engine Pings

When a post is published and the Auto-ping setting is enabled, Rank Bix SEO sends a lightweight HTTP GET request to notify search engines of the updated sitemap.

Only the public sitemap URL is transmitted. No post content, user data, or private content is sent.

• Google Ping: https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=<your-sitemap-url>
• Bing Ping: https://www.bing.com/ping?sitemap=<your-sitemap-url>

You can disable automatic pings at Rank Bix SEO → Settings → Sitemap → Auto-pings Google & Bing on publish.

IndexNow

When the IndexNow feature is enabled and a post or page is published or updated, Rank Bix SEO sends a single HTTP POST request to the IndexNow API endpoint to notify participating search engines (Bing, Yandex, and others) of the updated URL.

• Endpoint: https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow
• Data sent: your site hostname, a plugin-generated verification key, the URL of the verification key file, and the URL of the published/updated post or page. No post content or user data is sent.
• When: only on post/page publish or update, and only if IndexNow is enabled in Rank Bix SEO → Settings → Tools → IndexNow.

IndexNow is an open protocol. The api.indexnow.org endpoint is operated by Microsoft. Submitted URLs are shared with all IndexNow-participating search engines.

Broken Link Checker

When the Broken Link Checker feature is enabled, Rank Bix SEO runs a background cron job that sends HTTP HEAD requests to external URLs found in your post content to check whether those links are still reachable.

• Data sent: a standard HTTP HEAD request to each external URL found in your published post content. No post content, user data, or authentication credentials are included in these requests. The requests appear as ordinary browser-like HEAD requests to the destination server.
• When: only via a background WP-Cron job (runs twice daily, 5 posts per run). The feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in Rank Bix SEO → Settings → Tools → Broken Link Checker.
• Destinations: any external URLs present in your own published post content. These are third-party URLs you have already linked to; Rank Bix SEO does not choose or control them.

No data from the broken link check is transmitted to Rank Bix SEO or any service operated by the plugin developer. Results are stored only in your own WordPress database.
