Privacy Statement

SEO Confident respects user privacy:
– No user data collection
– No analytics or tracking
– Your server makes no external requests
– Settings remain on your server
– The optional “preconnect hints” setting is off by default. When you switch it on, your pages include hints that let visitors’ browsers open early connections to Google Fonts and Google Analytics hosts. SEO Confident does not send any data to those hosts itself

Installation

Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/seo-confident/ or upload the zip under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
Activate the plugin via the Plugins menu
Open SEO Confident in the WordPress admin
Configure your settings and schema markup

FAQ

Can I use this with other SEO plugins?

No, we recommend using only one SEO plugin. Deactivate other plugins before activating SEO Confident to avoid conflicts.

Will my settings be preserved if I deactivate the plugin?

Yes, settings are stored in the database and will be kept. They’re only deleted if you uninstall the plugin.

Where is my sitemap?

At /sitemap.xml. The WordPress core sitemap at /wp-sitemap.xml is switched off while SEO Confident is active, and requests to it are redirected to /sitemap.xml.

Why does my robots.txt or llms.txt not change when I save?

If a real robots.txt or llms.txt file exists in your WordPress folder, the web server serves that file and WordPress never sees the request. The plugin screens warn you when this happens. Delete or rename the file.

Does it ping search engines when I publish?

No. Google and Bing both retired their sitemap ping endpoints. Submit your sitemap once in each webmaster tool and add it to robots.txt, which the plugin does for you.

What’s the performance impact?

Minimal. SEO Confident only adds the output it needs to the front end.

Can I export/import settings?

Yes, export and import are available at the bottom of the main settings screen.

Does it work with custom post types?

Yes. Public custom post types get the SEO meta box and their own sitemap.

What’s the difference between Custom Schema and Custom Wide Schema?

Custom Schema (post editor): Per-page JSON-LD for individual pages
Custom Wide Schema (settings): Site-wide JSON-LD applied globally

Which developer filters are available?

seoc_excluded_page_slugs – slugs of pages to keep out of the sitemap and llms.txt
seoc_exclude_post – exclude any post from the sitemap and llms.txt
seoc_sitemap_post_types – post types that get a sitemap
seoc_sitemap_max_urls – maximum URLs per sitemap (default 5000)
seoc_llms_txt_content – final llms.txt content
seoc_page_schema – the auto-generated Article or WebPage schema, before it is printed
seoc_ai_bots – the AI crawlers that get an Allow group in robots.txt
seoc_hreflang_code – the language code used in hreflang tags
seoc_output_hreflang – return false to switch hreflang tags off
seoc_speakable_selectors – CSS selectors marked as speakable on the homepage. Empty by default

Does it integrate with external services?

No. Everything is self-contained within your WordPress installation.
