How can you detect if a website uses Rank Math?

Detecting if a website uses Rank Math involves searching for specific markers and code snippets that are unique to this SEO plugin.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

  1. Open the Page Source: Right-click on the webpage and select “View Page Source” or press Ctrl+U (Windows) or Cmd+Option+U (Mac) to view the source code.
  2. Search for Rank Math in the Page Source: Use the search function by pressing Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac). Type rankmath or rank-math to find any references to the plugin in the source code.
  3. Check for Rank Math Specific Scripts: Look for lines that include the URL https://rankmath.com/ or script tags pointing to Rank Math’s JavaScript files. Example:
    • <script src="https://rankmath.com/...." ></script>
  4. Look for Rank Math Meta Tags: Rank Math often adds specific meta tags to the head section of your webpage. Search for tags like:
    • <meta name="rank_math" ... >
    • <meta name="robots" content="...."> (often manipulated by Rank Math)
  5. Check for Rank Math JSON-LD Schema: Rank Math may implement structured data using JSON-LD. Search for <script type="application/ld+json"> and look for references to Rank Math.
  6. Review the Site’s Source for SEO-related Comments: Rank Math sometimes adds comments in the HTML source. Look for lines that mention optimizations or features belonging to Rank Math in the comments section.
  7. Inspect for Open Graph and Twitter Card Tags: Rank Math generates Open Graph and Twitter Card tags for social media sharing. Search for:
    • <meta property="og:" content="...">
