What AIOSEO does
The All in One SEO toolkit: titles, schema, sitemaps, redirects and search console insight in one dashboard.
It sits in the seo part of a WordPress stack and is sold by AIOSEO on a freemium basis. We recommend it in our seo guides because it does that one job well without asking you to rebuild the rest of the site around it.
Every plugin adds work to a page request, so treat this as a decision with a cost. Record a speed test before you install it and run the same test afterwards, on the same page, so you know exactly what it charged you.
Real user ratings
AIOSEO is sold outside the WordPress.org directory, so there is no public user rating to quote. Our own editorial score is 4.6/5, based on the vendor documentation, the refund window and the measured performance cost.
Where AIOSEO ranks elsewhere
AIOSEO does not appear in the published "best of" lists we track from WPBeginner, TechRadar, Kinsta, Themeisle and similar sites. That is not a mark against it - those roundups are short and skew towards the biggest names.
What changed in the latest version
AIOSEO does not publish a changelog we can read automatically, so check the vendor's own release notes before you update a live site.
