The paid upgrade to Astute Speed

Astute Speed Pro: Speed and SEO for WordPress

Everything a WordPress site needs to load fast and be found: sitemaps, IndexNow, schema, redirects and SEO titles, plus critical CSS and image optimization. From $49 a year, and included in every Write & Grow plan.

Preview: the Astute Speed Pro modules in WordPress, all switched on.

What It Does

  • Sitemaps and IndexNow

    XML, image and Google News sitemaps, and new or updated posts announced to Bing and other IndexNow search engines as soon as they’re published

  • Redirects

    301 redirects with hit logs, CSV import from Redirection and Yoast Premium, and a 404 log that shows which links are broken

  • Author Box

    A clear byline and bio on every article, which builds reader trust

  • Schema and Social Cards

    Article, FAQ, HowTo, Product, Review and Event schema, plus Open Graph and X cards so shared links look right

  • Speed Module

    Holds back analytics and ad scripts until the visitor scrolls or taps, loads the first image first, and serves critical CSS

  • Image Optimization

    Resizes oversized images and recompresses them, keeping each original so you can restore it, and saves WebP copies of new uploads

Prices

One yearly licence covers a set number of sites, and each site gets 500 image optimizations and 2 critical CSS runs a month. One optimization covers the image and every size WordPress makes from it. Paid in USDT with Binance, or in US dollars with PayPal. Every Write & Grow plan already includes Astute Speed Pro, so plan customers download it free from their account.

  • A robots.txt editor, AI crawler controls and an llms.txt file
  • 410 pages and bulk removal for content you’ve deleted
  • A table of contents, inline or as a sticky sidebar
  • Alt text editing, with bulk fill for images that have none
  • Internal link suggestions, a broken link checker and orphaned post finder
  • Readability and heading checks while you write
