SEOPress 7.8 is now available. We encourage you to update your site as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features, improvements and security fixes.
π New β SEO alerts by mail / Slack
Your client informs you that the site has disappeared from Google for no reason? You don’t understand what’s happening because you haven’t changed anything. Does this situation speak to you? Take the lead with our new SEO alerts feature.
Twice a day, SEOPress can check 3 critical points for your SEO and notify you by email and/or Slack in order to anticipate a potential drop in traffic / positioning in search engines:
- Alert if
noindexon homepage - Alert if robots.txt failed to load
- Alert if XML sitemap indexΒ failed to load
Thanks to this full functionality, SEOPress becomes a pro-active solution.
And that’s just the beginning!
SEOPress PRO is required to benefit from alerts, don’t wait until it’s too late, go PRO!
π New β GPT-4o
OpenAI has once again announced a new model for their AI: GPT-4o.
As usual, this one is more powerful, faster and cheaper than the previous one.
SEOPress PRO is already compatible and you can activate it from the SEO, PRO, AI settings.
This will allow you to generate automatically better meta title, description and alternative texts for your images thanks to our OpenAI integration.
π New β Google Consent v2 for our cookie bar
With this second iteration, we are now sending user consent to Google when a user is clicking the Accept button or the Close/Reject cookies button from our cookie bar.
We also defined a default consent to deny.
This should help your site comply with the new Google guidelines added to comply with GDPR.
The Google Consent v2 mode is automatically activated when using our cookie bar with GA4.
