Rooster One
v11.3.0 · by Oxford Metadata Ltd
SEO, recommendations, pricing, pixels, couriers, feeds, wishlist, AI chat: 581 tools replacing dozens of plugins. One to load, and they agree.
About this plugin
One plugin instead of dozens. 581 tools, and they agree with each other.
Rooster One does the work that would otherwise take dozens of separate plugins, and it does it from one place, on one set of numbers.
One plugin means one licence, one update, one place to ask, and one thing for WordPress to load on every request instead of dozens.
What is actually in it: a full SEO engine that can take over from Yoast or AIOSEO, importing what they hold first. Product recommendations built from your real sales. Role, wholesale and tiered pricing. Meta, Google Ads, GA4 and TikTok measurement, sent server-side so an ad blocker cannot silence it. Sixteen couriers with vouchers, labels, tracking and daily closings. Marketplace feeds and order import for Skroutz, Shopflix, eMAG, Etsy, Amazon and more. Side cart, wishlist, back-in-stock waitlist, quote requests for catalogue shops, swatches, trust badges. Popups and scheduled announcements. Abandoned-cart recovery, email and web push campaigns, audiences. Surveys, competitions and events. Invoices, packing slips and credit notes. A GDPR consent banner with a cookie scanner. The EU withdrawal button that Directive 2023/2673 now requires. And an AI assistant that answers from your own catalogue rather than making things up.
That is 581 tools, each with a written description of what it is for.
Why one plugin rather than dozens
Because separate plugins cannot see what the others know, so they disagree, and each one works the same thing out again while your customer waits.
Rooster One measures your whole business on a schedule instead: every product, page, customer, order and session, written into flat tables. The SEO engine, the recommendations, the audiences, the ad ROI report and the AI assistant all read those same tables. That is why they agree, and why the plugin gets faster as you switch more of it on: the heavy work happened before the request arrived. The trade-off is timing: a figure is only as new as its last run.
And it is one plugin to load, not dozens
WordPress loads every active plugin on every request, whether that request needs it or not; a site carrying a hundred of them pays that toll a hundred times before any useful work happens. Rooster One is one plugin, and the parts you have not switched on register nothing. On Pro, a separate lightweight runtime serves the storefront, so your customer’s page load carries the code that draws the page and not the code that runs the shop.
Everything is off by default. It installs beside your current SEO plugin, pixel manager and consent tool and changes nothing until you switch a piece on.
Rooster One runs on your own server. Everything it ever sends to an outside service, and what triggers it, is listed under “What does Rooster One send to an outside service, and when?” in the FAQ below.
The free version is a complete product, not a demo: 775 of the 1,302 screens, tools and actions are in it. Pro adds the operational half and the separate front-end runtime plugin.
Who builds it
Rooster One is built by Oxford Metadata Ltd, approved under Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program for security work; the plugin’s bot filtering, form captcha, proof-of-consent log and login hardening come out of that discipline. The AI features run on Anthropic Claude and Voyage AI embeddings.
It reads your site for what it is
- Shop — sales and add-to-carts are the measure.
- Catalogue — products published but not sold; engagement is the measure.
- Content — no WooCommerce; visits, engagement and forms are the measure.
Auto-detected, overridable in one click. Scoring, cornerstones and applicable signals all follow from it.
You can find all of it
Ctrl+K reaches every page and each of the 581 tools inside them. All Features lists every one, with pinnable favourites, and prints the figure for your own install, since the page count depends on which modules apply to your shop.
What gets measured
Computed on a schedule, stored flat. Everything below reads these.
- Product vitals — velocity, out-of-stock history, price history, basket role, returns, and a 0–100 demand score.
- Content vitals — reach, engagement, freshness and a content-demand score for every post, page and custom type.
- Customer vitals — an omnichannel profile: purchases, affinities, lifecycle stage, survey answers, return risk.
- Session and attribution rollups — engagement joined to conversion on one session id, with landing page, campaign and five UTMs.
- Effective prices — every price rule resolved ahead of time into one row per product per audience.

The withdrawal button — Directive (EU) 2023/2673
Every EU distance seller must now give consumers a prominent, permanently available button to declare withdrawal electronically.
- 14 calendar days from delivery, guests included, no reason required, partial withdrawal by item and quantity.
- Acknowledgement on a durable medium with date and time; cancellation stays distinct from withdrawal.

- Dozens of server-rendered blocks for stores, products, recommendations, swatches, brands, categories, blog, competitions and events.
- Regional checkout — COD by country or courier, “from X,XX €” labels before a postcode is entered, per-country payment and shipping rules.
Speed and resilience
- Pre-computed into flat tables; the storefront reads single cached rows, and a thin front-end runtime plugin (Pro) serves it without the admin half.
- Self-healing jobs re-arm after updates and stay dormant until used. Tables are never dropped except on explicit uninstall.
Free and Pro
GPLv3 throughout. There are three separate things here, and two of them are called “Pro”.
1. This plugin, free. A complete, working product, not a demo: AI chat and semantic search, the whole SEO engine, pricing and merchandising, the storefront features, measurement and consent, feeds, courier fulfilment, the block library, Ctrl+K and the complete withdrawal button, which is a legal obligation and stays free.
2. A Pro subscription (or the 14-day trial), activated by connecting the site to your Rooster One account. No per-feature keys. It unlocks the Pro screens whose code is already inside this download:
- Marketplace order import — Skroutz, Shopflix, eMAG, eFood, Wolt, Etsy, Amazon.
- Attribution and ROI — dashboard, ROI Wizard, ad-spend connectors, shipping cost against margin.
- Audiences and campaigns — audience builder, email and web-push flows, social posts, AI-suggested offers.
- Customer intelligence — customer lookup, surveys, cancellations and returns analysis, chat analytics.
- Insights Chat, events and competitions, Action Scheduler cleanup.
3. Two companion plugins, included with a Pro subscription and installed separately. A subscription on its own does not put their code on your server, so these screens ask you to install the plugin rather than pretending to work:
- Rooster One Runtime — serves the storefront, SEO head, sitemap and redirects without loading the admin half. The biggest single speed difference between free and Pro.
- Rooster One Pro — carries seven engines this download does not contain: supplier invoice scanning, the accounting and ERP connectors (Entersoft, Galaxy, Soft1, Zoho Books, Oxygen), the catalogue importer, the product exchanger, the duplicate-product merge engine, semantic internal linking and the branch stock scanner.
Everything Pro-locked stays visible with an explanation of what it does, and where a screen also needs the Pro plugin it says so before you buy, not after.
Optional integrations
Nothing below is required; each is an opt-in add-on using your own account.
