Update : RankReady is finally approved on WordPress.org - the LLM & AI SEO Optimisations. Details : store.posimyth.com/plugins/rankre… We started building this because, we think WordPress sites are entering a very different phase of SEO & Site Navigation, specially with chrome upcoming WebMCP Support. developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/webmcp Earlier, traffic was easier to understand. Someone searched on Google. Clicked your result. Visited your website. You checked Analytics/Search Console and got a fair idea of what was happening. But now discovery is becoming more messy. People may visit your site less directly from traditional search, but your content may still be used, cited, summarized, or opened through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, AI browsers, and agentic browsing flows. And this is where things get important. A real visitor coming from ChatGPT is not the same as a bot crawling your site. A referral from an AI answer is not the same as a training bot. A citation source is not the same as random bot activity. An agent browsing your website is also a different signal. But most WordPress sites today are not really built to separate all of this clearly. That is the gap RankReady is trying to solve. Not to replace your SEO plugin. Your Rank Math, Yoast, AIOSEO, etc. still do their job. RankReady adds the missing AI visibility layer on top. It helps WordPress site owners understand things like: Which AI tools are sending real visitors? Which bots are accessing the website? Which sources are appearing as AI referrals? Is the site ready for AI browsers and agentic web flows? Are important AI/LLM signals being missed? I genuinely feel this will become much more important in the next few years. Because SEO is no longer only about ranking on Google. It is also about being discoverable, readable, trackable, and useful across AI search, AI answers, AI browsers, and automated agents. The first version of RankReady goes live on WordPress.org soon, will be sharing the link soon. Very early version, but this is the layer I believe every serious WordPress site will eventually need.

Lately, the internet has started feeling a little more independent again. People like @dannyvankooten and @flowdee showed years ago that small software companies could build sustainable businesses without giant teams or corporate structures. More recently, buying apps from @chrissyinspace and @VuNguyenDev reminded me how personal software can still feel when it is built by individuals instead of large companies. Wrote a few thoughts about that shift: webtions.com/the-internet-f…

@serena_prifti BTW is it advisable to also integrate @freemius ? I am not sure how beneficial the extended reports and stats would be from your side?

Been working on a new feature lately: setting monthly MRR goals and adding a small simulator to test things like: • What will happen to your MRR if churn drops by x%? • What if prices increase by x%? Lots of dashboards show you where you are. I want Chartsy to show where you could be and what changes would get you there.

@KatieKeithBarn2 Who had the idea of using rounded borders for cards here? Every other place is angular. Doesn't make any sense 🧐

Here are before-and-after pictures of the WordPress 7.0 admin redesign. The left nav is a definite improvement, but the overall look and feel still looks dated due to the grey backgrounds in the main column. Hopefully that's the next phase.

@harishchouhan @pootlepress Yeah respectively doing that similar, but via direct SSH access.

Connect Claude to WordPress -> youtube.com/watch?v=Oydtxi… by @pootlepress @flowdee I guess this is what you were looking for.

@dannyvankooten Also incl. passing values for conversion tracking? Like placing a custom event code on a purchase confirmation page incl. currency, amount etc. and Koko is showing me the revenue data somehow?

@flowdee Koko Analytics Pro has custom event tracking, allowing you to track anything. Can assign value to events too. Is that what you're looking for or did I misunderstand?

👀 UTM tracking in Koko Analytics. Coming soon?

@dannyvankooten @sergeynazarovx

@flowdee @sergeynazarovx 👀

let's build a screen recording app the market definitely isn’t saturated 😉

@sparbuchfeinde Trollen der deutschen Medien und ganzen Neider. Chapeau!

Wie prognostiziert war der Finanzfluss Lambo ein Fake. Was meint ihr? Smarter Move oder sinnloses Trollen der Finanz-Community? 🤔

@ajaydsouza Honestly, I think we just must collect some thoughts, experiences etc from our daily work which is worth sharable!

@flowdee I hear you. I am also struggling on what to blog.

I want to blog more on ajaydsouza.com but I'm struggling from writers (bloggers?) block. My focus has been on WordPress for so long and I've consciously moved away from writing about WordPress.

@ajaydsouza Time & Priorities I guess?

@flowdee I spent a bit of time on the website to redo the look and feel yesterday. The home needs a lot more work to make it similar to what you have. What’s stopping you from blogging?

@Gtarafdarr Nah, I'm just wondering that everyone builds a GA alternative, as if there aren't 10000000 already 😇

@flowdee Are you building something? For mine, I made a plugin as an alternative to the Pretty Links plugin, with click tracking for my own sites.

Raise your hand 🖐️ if you haven't launched your own analytics tool yet. #TheMarketNeedsYouAll 🤣

@harishchouhan Nah, should I? Does the world need another analytics tool? FlowdeeLytics!!

@flowdee Have you?

@carlhancock @techjewel @WPManageNinja Honestly Carl, just send an email and sort it out privately first. Everything else is well... Just my thoughts. 🖖

You own any trademarks or dealt with IP legal situations firsthand? I’m curious because you are giving IP advice meanwhile ClickWhale isn’t a registered trademark in the U.S. (or the EU where you are based) so I’m curious what your IP experience is exactly? I can tell you mine is hands on. Both through owning registered trademarks, dealing with IP lawyers, being involved in IP litigation and legal disputes. So my take is based on firsthand experience and not personal opinion.

@WPManageNinja I am generally pretty respectful towards you all. @techjewel should be able to attest to that. I've been supportive in the past. But I have to say something because I think you've gone too far with FluentKit. Prior to seeing your launch post for FluentKit I had randomly run across Fluentwiz, and my initial reaction was "Did David and GravityWiz branch out into Fluent solutions?!" The naming caused actual confusion. The name didn't have the potential to cause confusion in the marketplace... it DID cause confusion in the marketplace. And I'm an expert! Now you've launched FluentKit and I can't not say something publicly this time. If FluentKit was a language learning app I wouldn't be posting this. I know for a fact that you are fully aware that GravityWiz and GravityKit are legit brands in the WordPress community. They operate in the same ecosystem as you. They aren't side projects. They are legitimate businesses with legitimate registered trademarks. Both companies have been operating in this ecosystem longer than WPManageNinja has existed. Fluent* and Gravity* (including GravityWiz and GravityKit) compete in the same: - industry - ecosystem - target audiences - channels of commerce - product categories - competitive space - I could go on and on It is well established that there are overlapping customer bases and overlapping marketplace presence. The fact that you are headquartered in Bangladesh doesn't matter. The United States is a major market for your products and services. You need to do a better job with how you come up with brand names. You can't just rip off the competition the way you have been doing. You've done great things with the Fluent name. With that in mind, I'm asking you to do the right thing. It's my understanding both GravityKit and Gravity Wiz will be reaching out to you regarding this if they haven't already. I hope you correct course. You are better than this.

@techjewel @carlhancock @WPManageNinja TBH, you haven't done anything wrong. No one would be confused and mix things up with that name...

Thanks for raising this. I want to clear a few things. FluentKit is not a business. It's just an addon plugin name. We don't have a domain, no Pro plan, nothing like that. It was built as a bridge so people can manage FluentCRM, Fluent Forms, FluentCart, Fluent Support and the other Fluent plugins from one place inside WordPress. The "Kit" part we used in the sense of a set of tools for the Fluent ecosystem (as used by many companies). I'll reach out to the GravityKit team today to explain and listen. I'll come back to this thread once I talk to them. On FluentWiz, that one is not owned by WPManageNinja. But I do have a good relationship with the founder. I'll talk to him tomorrow and ask him to look at this seriously and reach out to David and the GravityWiz team.

@GamerBr0ski Ich denke nicht, dass er im finalen WM-Kader stehen wird. Aber in dem Fall trotzdem eine sinnlose Aktion irgendwie.

Maximal respektlos Die Spatzen pfeiffen das seit gefühlt einem Jahr von den Dächern und jetzt 4 Wochen vor dem Turnier so ein Move bringen Das hätte man echt besser lösen müssen Tut mir echt leid für Baumann

@Bablowj91 @Plettigoal Well, why should the 2nd best be promoted over the best?

@Plettigoal Manuel Neuer really blocked Marc-André ter Stegen from being Germany’s No. 1 for an entire generation. Ter Stegen was elite for years and still couldn’t catch a break. 🥶🥶

🚨🧨 EXCL | Julian Nagelsmann included Manuel Neuer on the provisional 55-man squad list that had to be submitted to FIFA - as one of five goalkeepers. A return for Manuel Neuer to the World Cup - potentially even as Germany’s number one, or at least as a backup option - is now a very concrete possibility. Talks and phone calls have been ongoing for days. A final decision is expected soon. @SkySportDE 🇩🇪
