Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Rank Monkey
No. It is optional and everything works without it.
They are encrypted with libsodium before being stored, using a key derived from your site's AUTH_KEY salt. They are never returned to the browser after saving, and only a masked version is ever displayed.
You pay OpenRouter and fal.ai directly, and the plugin shows a live estimate on the writing screen plus the real spend per article once it is done. Rates come from OpenRouter's own catalogue, so the figures follow whatever the provider currently charges. A 1500-word article runs about 38,000 input and 15,000 output tokens on the default Balanced setting, plus about 12,000 more if live web search is on. The model you assign to each role matters far more than anything else. Using one premium model for all three roles costs roughly ten times more than using a fast model for research and editing and keeping the premium one for writing only. The estimate on the writing screen updates as you change models, so try a few. Live web search is on by default, because current facts are the one thing a model
every page is billed as input at roughly 20,000 tokens, so the cost depends almost entirely on which model does the research. On a fast model that is under two cents per article; on a premium model it is ten times that. Untick it per article for evergreen topics using the switch on the writing screen. Cited sources are verified with a HEAD request before publishing either way, so a URL that does not exist is unlinked rather than published. Avoid models that run their own web search, such as Perplexity's Sonar family, for the research role. They ignore the page limit entirely and can put a single call over 150,000 input tokens. An image adds $0.003 to $0.06 depending on the fal model.
Settings, AI has a speed control with Fast, Balanced and Maximum depth options,
way. The biggest lever is the model itself, since a heavy reasoning model can take two minutes for a single call. Turning off live web search removes another 20 to 40 seconds.
Yes. Settings, Advanced has an override box for every stage.
No. Upgrading replaces the plugin files only. Your API keys, context profile, author identity, writing rules, topic queue and article history all live in the database and are untouched. New settings introduced by an upgrade appear with their defaults, and anything you had already changed is kept. The schema is repaired on the first page load after an upgrade rather than on activation, so replacing the files is enough and you never need to deactivate first. Articles that were mid-generation resume on the next watchdog pass. Uninstalling is the only thing that can remove data, and only if you turned on "Delete all plugin data" in Settings, Advanced beforehand.
The plugin removes the mechanical tells that detectors and readers pick up on, and it enforces those rules with code rather than hoping. It is still your responsibility to review, fact-check and take editorial ownership of anything you publish.
