Extend it with **AWO Premium** for SEO automation, internal analytics, SMTP mail, performance optimization, related posts, traffic booster, and more. ### ✅ Free Features **📢 Ad Manager** Place AdSense ads in up to 5 strategic positions: before content, mid-content, after content, sidebar widget, and sticky footer. Each position can be individually enabled or disabled. Includes Google Auto Ads integration. **🏷️ Ad Label** Automatically adds a configurable “Advertisement” label above every ad unit, keeping your site compliant with Google AdSense and FTC disclosure policies. **👁️ Viewability Tracking** Uses the Intersection Observer API to track how long each ad is visible in the user’s viewport, so you can identify your most effective ad positions. **🤖 AdSense Auto Ads** One-click activation of Google’s Auto Ads feature. Just enter your Publisher ID. **⏱️ Reading Time** Displays estimated reading time at the top of each post. Customisable: background colour, text colour, font size, and border radius. ### 🚀 AWO Premium Features _Requires AWO Premium — available at [zwareonline.com/plugins/awo](https://zwareonline.com/plugins/awo)_ **🔍 SEO Optimizer** Automatically generates meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, Twitter Card tags, JSON-LD schema markup (Article, BreadcrumbList, Organisation), canonical URLs, and hreflang tags. No manual entry required. **📋 Table of Contents (TOC)** Automatically builds a table of contents from your post headings (H2–H4). Configurable position, collapsible option, and fully styled. **🔗 Auto Internal Links** Automatically links configurable keywords to related articles within your site. Reduces bounce rate, distributes link equity, and improves crawlability. **📰 Related Posts** Displays a customisable grid of related articles at the end of every post. Configure: number of cards (1–12), module alignment, card text alignment, minimum card width, and optional excerpt/date display. **📊 Internal Analytics** Track page views without Google Analytics or any third- party service. Stats stored in your own database. View 7-day and 30-day activity charts in the AWO dashboard. Zero cookies, zero GDPR issues. **⚡ Performance Optimizer** Improves Core Web Vitals: defers non-critical JavaScript, enables lazy loading, adds LCP preload hints, reduces CLS by reserving ad space, and sets HTTP security headers. **📡 Traffic Booster** Generates an XML sitemap, pings Google and Bing via IndexNow when you publish new content, and enhances your RSS feed with full content and featured images. **🛡️ Ad Obfuscation** Randomises ad container IDs and uses JavaScript injection to make AdSense units harder for ad-blockers to detect. **🔄 Ad Refresh** Automatically refreshes visible ad units after a configurable interval (viewport-only), staying within Google’s policies. **🔔 Anti-Adblock Notice** Detects ad-blocker usage and shows a customisable notice asking users to whitelist your site. **📧 SMTP Email** Replace WordPress’s default PHP mail with a fully authenticated SMTP connection. Supports TLS/SSL, manual auth method (PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5, AUTO), AES-256 password encryption, connection validation, and test email. ### 🌐 Bilingual (ES / EN) The entire plugin interface automatically detects whether WordPress is installed in Spanish or English and displays accordingly.
