SemanticPosts

SemanticPosts Related posts that are actually related, without slowing your site down. A WordPress plugin that uses semantic embeddings to surface "next reads" with substantially better relevance than category matching — while staying lighter on page-load cost than every existing alternative. Status: Planning complete. Implementation in progress. Why this exists WordPress site owners are stuck between two bad options for related posts: - Accurate but slow: YARPP, Contextual Related Posts. Compute relevance per pageview via brute-force MySQL queries. Several are still on managed-host disallow lists (WP Engine bans 4 of them as of May 2026). - Fast but dumb: Jetpack Related Posts, Same Category Posts. Category matching surfaces the same 3 recent posts on every page. SemanticPosts is the third option: precompute once at index time, serve from cache. How it works 1. When you save a post, the plugin generates an embedding via OpenAI (background, rate-limited). 2. A Similarity Graph maintains the top-N most-related posts per post in postmeta, updated incrementally on every save. 3. On every page view, related posts come from cached postmeta — 2 indexed queries, zero HTTP. Resu
