### Features

[](#features)

The wp-parsely plugin is packed with features that allow for a seamless integration process, and brings the power of the Parse.ly dashboard into WordPress.

#### Automated integration

[](#automated-integration)

The plugin automatically inserts the Parse.ly metadata and JavaScript in all published pages and posts (Custom Post Types are supported). It also provides a settings page to customize your integration, with options including:

- Output Parse.ly metadata as [JSON-LD](https://docs.parse.ly/metadata-jsonld/) or [repeated meta tags](https://docs.parse.ly/metatags/).
- Choose whether logged-in users should be tracked.
- Define how to track every Post Type (as Post, Non-Post or no tracking).

#### Parse.ly Content Intelligence

[](#parsely-content-intelligence)

[Content Intelligence](https://docs.parse.ly/plugin-content-intelligence/) is a set of content insight tools including:

- The [Parse.ly Dashboard Widget](https://docs.parse.ly/plugin-content-intelligence/#h-dashboard) - Displays the site's top posts in the WordPress Dashboard.
- The [Parse.ly Stats Column](https://docs.parse.ly/plugin-content-intelligence/#h-posts) - Displays published post performance for the last 7 days in Post Lists.
- The [Engagement Boost](https://docs.wpvip.com/parse-ly/parsely-features/engagement-boost/) feature - Helps you increase page views and engagement by strategically placing links to key content within high-performing articles on your site.
- The [Parse.ly Editor Sidebar](https://docs.parse.ly/plugin-content-intelligence/#h-editor) - This sidebar is integrated into the WordPress Editor and offers insights about the content currently being edited such as:
    - [Title Suggestions](https://docs.wpvip.com/parse-ly/parsely-features/title-suggestions/) - Generates title suggestions for the post/page currently being edited.
    - [Excerpt Suggestions](https://docs.wpvip.com/parse-ly/parsely-features/excerpt-suggestions/) - Generates an excerpt suggestion for the post/page currently being edited.
    - [Smart Linking](https://docs.wpvip.com/parse-ly/parsely-features/smart-linking/) - Automatically adds links to the current content that point to the most relevant and top-performing posts.
    - [Related Posts](https://docs.parse.ly/plugin-content-intelligence/#h-related-posts) - Displays a list of the website’s most successful posts, similar to the post/page currently being edited.
    - [Performance Stats](https://docs.parse.ly/plugin-content-intelligence/#h-see-performance-details) - Displays performance metrics about the content currently being edited.

#### The Parse.ly Recommendations Block

[](#the-parsely-recommendations-block)

The plugin includes a [Recommendations Block](https://docs.parse.ly/recommendations-block/) that displays a list of posts related to the currently viewed post/page. The Block is useful for showcasing related content to visitors, and it can also be used in Site Editing mode or as a [Block-based Widget](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/block-based-widgets-editor/).

#### Advanced integrations support

[](#advanced-integrations-support)

While the plugin works out of the box for basic integrations, it offers a host of features that easily allow for advanced integration scenarios:

- Support for [Google Tag Manager, AMP, Google Web Stories and Cloudflare](https://docs.parse.ly/plugin-common-questions/#h-is-wp-parsely-compatible-with-amp-or-google-web-stories) is included.
- The plugin exposes the `wpParselyOnLoad` and `wpParselyOnReady` JavaScript hooks that allow for advanced integrations requiring JavaScript, such as [Dynamic Tracking](https://docs.parse.ly/plugin-dynamic-tracking/).
- Support for WordPress [network/multisite](https://docs.parse.ly/plugin-common-questions/#h-is-wp-parsely-compatible-with-wordpress-network-multisite) and [decoupled/headless](https://docs.parse.ly/decoupled-set-up/) (GraphQL and WP Rest API) setups is included.
- Last but not least, a wide range of hooks is available in order to customize the plugin's functionality even further.
