Everything in one admin
What a blog needs, in five places.
The features of popular plugins are built in from the start. Start wherever you like.
Write
An editor built around how Japanese blogs are written.
Build posts from blocks and schedule them. Speech bubbles, boxes, blog cards and rankings, the parts Japanese blogs use most, are there from the start.
All the blocks →Scheduled publishing
Pick a time and the post goes live then. The time in the site’s time zone is shown too.
Revisions
Every save keeps a version you can restore.
Internal-link ideas
The editor suggests older posts worth linking to.
Small fixes keep the date
Save a typo fix as a small edit and the “updated” date stays put.
Author bylines
Author profiles with archive pages, and more than one author per post.
Media library
Drag in many files at once. WebP sizes are made for you, and deleting an image a post still uses asks you twice.
Checks before publishing
Missing alt text, vague link text and similar gaps are flagged before you publish.
Bulk actions
Trash, bulk author changes and bulk URL changes with 301 redirects.
Search and replace, duplicate
Replace wording across every post, with a preview first and revisions kept. Posts can be duplicated too.
Rank
Published in a form search engines can read.
Structured data and sitemaps are generated for you. Posts that need work are listed from your Search Console data.
More on SEO →Opportunities, with AI suggestions
Plikli lists posts that show in search but get few clicks, and posts just short of page one, from your Search Console data. AI (Anthropic’s Claude) suggests titles, descriptions and outlines. You decide what to use; the AI never publishes anything.
Search Console
Verify ownership, submit the sitemap and see search performance from the admin.
IndexNow
New and updated posts are sent to IndexNow search engines such as Bing automatically.
Broken-link checks
Outside links and images in your posts are checked on a schedule, and broken ones are listed by post.
Real-user page speed
LCP, INP and CLS from real readers, per post.
Technical SEO, built in
Per-post titles and descriptions, canonical URLs, structured data, sitemaps and RSS, generated for you. Thin tag archives are noindexed and left out of the sitemap.
canonicalOGPJSON-LDsitemap.xmlRSSIndexNow
Redirects
Changing a URL creates its 301, and you can see how often each rule is used.
robots.txt, llms.txt, ads.txt
Edit the files search engines and AI crawlers read, from the admin.
Trust-page templates
Start an editorial policy (with an operator section), a research-method page and a privacy policy from templates, as drafts.
Earn
Affiliate links and ads, set up in the admin.
Shop links, ads, your store and analytics, all set up in the admin.
More on earning →Shop links
Buttons for Amazon, Rakuten and Yahoo! Shopping in one block. Rakuten items have their price and stock refreshed regularly.
Amazon AssociatesRakuten AffiliateValueCommerce
Product cards and rankings
Ranking, rating and comparison-table blocks for reviews and roundups.
AdSense in your posts
Place in-article ads at the start, middle or end (Pro and up).
Shopify
Show store products in posts, and publish to your Shopify blog too (Pro and up).
PR notice
Show a PR notice (for example “This article contains promotions”) at the top of every post, for Japan’s stealth-marketing rules. Off by default; the wording is yours.
Analytics and consent
GA4, Tag Manager and Google Ads, behind a consent banner, with a page for Japan’s external-transmission rules.
Design
24 themes, 10 made for Japanese blogs.
Japanese themes for personal blogs, affiliate sites, recipes, travel, money and more. Every theme builds its pages on the server.

Article tools
Share buttons (X, LINE, Hatena, Facebook, copy link), reading time, an automatic contents list before the first heading, a floating contents button, a button bar on phones, tap-to-zoom images, related and most-read posts.
Run
Room for more sites and more people.
Several sites on one account, with roles, comments, contact messages and security settings in the admin.
More on security →Several sites
Run several sites from one login, each on its own plan.
Team and roles
Owner, administrator, editor, author, contributor and viewer, set per site.
Reader comments
Moderated or open (off by default). Readers give a name and a comment; no email or IP address is stored.
Two-step sign-in
Authenticator app plus backup codes. A password reset signs out every device.
Audit log
Changes to posts, media, settings, people, domains, keys and exports are recorded.
Contact inbox
Messages from your site’s contact page land in the admin.
Headless, too
Deliver posts as JSON through the content API, with API keys for private sites (keys on Pro and up).
Export any time
Posts, settings and images as a ZIP, including a file WordPress can import (WXR).
From WordPress
Three steps to move from WordPress.
Posts, pages, categories, tags, authors, images, SEO settings and approved comments. URLs stay the same when your permalink structure fits, and get a 301 when they change.
Connect and preview
Give the site address and an application password, or the export file. See counts and URL structure before anything is written.
Import
Images are copied, internal links rewritten, and alt text and captions brought along. Pause, resume or undo at any point.
Sync and switch
Sync once more right before switching DNS (REST connection), then point your domain at Plikli (custom domains on Pro and up).
Pricing
Simple pricing, per site.
All prices include consumption tax. New sites get Pro free for 14 days, no card needed.

FAQ
Questions
Can I use my WordPress plugins?
Plikli doesn’t run WordPress plugins (PHP). The features of popular plugins (SEO, contents, share buttons, related posts, shop links, ads, redirects, contact forms, comment spam filtering) are built in. Upload a plugin zip and Plikli tells you where its built-in equivalent is. The code inside the zip is never run or stored.
Does Plikli have comments?
Yes. Each site chooses off, moderated or open (off by default). Readers give only a name and a comment; no email or IP address is stored. Approved WordPress comments can be imported.
What happens to my data if I leave?
Export posts, settings and images as a ZIP from the admin. It includes a file WordPress can import (WXR).
Is my site deleted if a payment fails?
Not automatically. If payment can’t be collected, the site stays online but read-only (no editing), and after 14 days it is suspended and readers see a notice. The data is kept, and paying again brings it back.
Do I have to use the AI suggestions?
No. Use it when you want title or outline ideas; an editor decides what to use. Everything else works without it.
Why invite-only?
Plikli is in early access and we are onboarding people in turn. Once we’ve read your request, we’ll email you an invite link.
