An intro to Simple SEO
Simple SEO is a lightweight WordPress plugin that gives you complete control over the essentials of on-page SEO—without the bloat. Easily set custom titles, meta descriptions, robots directives, and canonical URLs for your posts and pages. With built-in Open Graph support, your content will be visually appealing when shared on social media.
Please note this plugin is currently experimental. I created it for my personal websites—something simple, lightweight, and focused on the SEO basics that meet my needs. I’m sharing it now in case it helps others who want more control without all the clutter.
