In this documentation, we’ll walk through the general settings of the Swift Rank Schema plugin and explain how each option works.
You’ll learn how to manage schema behavior, avoid duplicate structured data, configure fallback images, control where schema code is injected, and optimize schema output for performance.
Before proceeding to the General Settings, make sure that the Swift Rank plugin has been successfully installed and activated on your website.
General Settings of Swift Rank #
Navigate to Swift Rank → Settings.
By default, you’ll land on General Settings, where you can manage different options to disable rank math schema, fallback image and schema code location, etc.
Disable Rank Math Schema #
The Disable Rank Math Schema option is available under Swift Rank → General Settings. This feature helps prevent duplicate schema markup on your website when the Rank Math SEO plugin is already active.
Swift Rank and Rank Math both generate structured data (schema). If both plugins output schema simultaneously, search engines may detect duplicate or conflicting schema, which can negatively impact SEO performance and rich result eligibility.
Disable Yoast SEO Schema #
You can also disable yoast seo schema in swift rank that helps to avoid duplicate structured data when the yoast SEO is active on your website. Both Swift Rank and Yoast SEO generate schema markup automatically.
When schema is output by both plugins at the same time, it can lead to duplicate or conflicting structured data. This may confuse search engines and reduce the chances of rich results appearing correctly.
If you plan to use Swift Rank Schema, enable this option to disable Yoast’s schema output and let Swift Rank handle all structured data cleanly and consistently.
Disable All in One SEO Schema #
If All in One SEO is installed, you can disable its schema output using this toggle in Swift Rank.
If you’re using any of these SEO plugins (Rank Math, Yoast SEO, or All in One SEO). Swift Rank makes it easy to disable their schema so that only Swift Rank Schema is used across your website, avoiding overlap and keeping everything clean and consistent.
Default Fallback Image #
The Default Fallback Image setting is used whenever a post, page, or content item does not have a featured image assigned. Setting a fallback image ensures that your structured data always includes a valid image, helping to prevent schema warnings and maintain consistent visual presentation in search results. It is recommended to use a high-quality, brand-relevant image to ensure the best appearance across all rich result displays.
You can either use this featured image variable or you can upload your own by clicking on the image icon at the top right corner.
Schema Code Location #
The Schema Code Location option controls where the structured data is injected into your website’s HTML. Selecting the option to place the schema code in the <head> section is recommended, as this ensures search engines can detect and process the structured data efficiently. In cases where theme or framework limitations exist, the schema can alternatively be placed before the closing </body> tag.
Minify Schema Output #
Minify Schema Output removes unnecessary whitespace and formatting from the generated schema markup. This reduces the overall file size, helping the schema load more efficiently while keeping its structure and meaning fully intact for search engines.
This is the following result before enabling the minify schema output:
And this is the result after enabling the minify schema output that have removed all the white spaces:
After configuring these settings, click the Save Changes button to apply them across your website. The updated schema settings will take effect immediately, although search engines may require some time to recrawl and reflect the changes in search results.
