The SEO Framework
The SEO Framework is a WordPress plugin that generates titles, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, structured data and sitemaps automatically, with a minimal interface and no upsells.
It is chosen by WordPress users who prefer a lightweight, set-and-forget approach over heavier SEO plugins: developers and agencies building many client sites, technical bloggers, small software businesses and performance-minded publishers. A site running The SEO Framework points to a technically literate owner or agency that cares about code quality and page speed, usually on a modest budget with a lean, self-hosted stack.
Lists of these sites are useful to SEO and content agencies, rank-tracking and site-audit tools, premium WordPress plugin and hosting vendors, performance and security services and web developers offering retainers. New installs indicate a site that has just been set up or re-platformed; dropped sites usually switched to another SEO plugin, which is a signal for competing plugin vendors and for agencies that standardise their clients on a particular stack.
The SEO Framework is active on 87,796 WordPress websites, which is 0.2% of all WordPress plugins detections we record. Websites running The SEO Framework are most often served from United States (39,013), Germany (5,219) and United Kingdom (3,439), and .com, .org and .net are the most common domain endings.

How do I find websites that just installed The SEO Framework?
The New tab on this page lists websites where our crawler saw The SEO Framework for the first time in the last days, newest first; the Dropped tab lists the sites that removed it. Both lists download with a subscription and are refreshed every morning.
How do I get a list of websites using The SEO Framework?
A free BetaScan account downloads a {sample_rows}-row sample. A subscription from $69 a month gives the full list of 87,796 domains, or a dataset with emails, phones, country, hosting and ranks, filtered by country, TLD, rank and registration date. See pricing.
How does BetaScan detect The SEO Framework?
Our crawler fetches the homepage of every domain we track and matches the page and its response headers against the signatures of 7,636 technologies. A website counts as using The SEO Framework when its latest crawl shows the signature; when the signature disappears, the site moves to the dropped list.
How can you tell a website uses The SEO Framework?
The plugin leaves an HTML comment in the head section naming The SEO Framework and its author, and its files are served from the /wp-content/plugins/autodescription/ directory, which is the plugin's original slug. Both markers are visible in the homepage source and are what our crawler matches.
Is The SEO Framework used by large companies or small ones?
Mostly small sites and agency-built client sites: blogs, consultancies, small software companies, local businesses and publishers who care about page speed. Large companies rarely run WordPress SEO plugins on their main sites. The audience is technical and cost-conscious, which favours tools that are efficient and transparent over heavily marketed suites.
