Update: SEO Live Assistant Now Works Directly with Divi Builder on the back-end

In the past, the SEO Live Assistant was the only feature from Squirrly SEO that wasn’t fully integrated with Divi and required the workaround of having to create the content on our Cloud App and then copy-paste parts of it into the design of the page.

This is NO longer required and it will be easier to optimize Divi content.

Update – Add compatibility with Oxygen plugin to check the content optimization in backend

woocommerce ++ added more JSON-LD schema features for our available implementation

Improve the WooCommerce Product and Orders JSON-LD Schema with the required data.
