## Description
Indexarix SEO is a modular technical SEO plugin for WordPress focused on indexing,
metadata, structured data, sitemaps, redirects and site diagnostics.
All features currently included in Indexarix SEO are free. The plugin does not require
an account, license or subscription to use its local SEO features.
Indexarix is designed to give site owners a central place to manage technical SEO
while avoiding duplicate output during migrations or when another SEO provider is
still active.
#### SEO metadata and social sharing
Manage SEO titles, meta descriptions, canonical URLs and robots directives. Indexarix
can also generate Open Graph and X/Twitter metadata with editor previews.
#### Structured data
Generate JSON-LD Schema for supported content and taxonomy contexts, including breadcrumbs
through BreadcrumbList markup.
#### Indexing and sitemaps
Control indexing behavior by content type and manage XML sitemaps with image support.
Indexarix also includes a Google News sitemap and an optional video sitemap with
VideoObject data.
#### Redirects and 404 monitoring
Create and manage 301, 302, 307, 410 and 451 rules. The 404 Monitor classifies requests,
helps identify relevant broken URLs and can suggest destinations for review without
creating redirects automatically.
#### Diagnostics and migration
Run progressive site diagnostics, review technical SEO conditions and use Safe Migration
tools when moving from another compatible SEO plugin. Indexarix never activates
or deactivates another plugin automatically.
#### Optional modules
Optional modules include automatic image ALT fallback, IndexNow URL submission,
video sitemap support and other tools that can be enabled only when needed.
### Features
* SEO title, meta description, canonical URL and robots directives.
* Open Graph and X/Twitter metadata with editor previews.
* JSON-LD Schema for supported content and taxonomies.
* XML sitemap with image support.
* Google News sitemap.
* Optional video sitemap with VideoObject data.
* Indexing controls by content type and taxonomy.
* 301, 302, 307, 410 and 451 redirect management.
* Redirect testing and CSV import/export.
* Intelligent 404 monitoring with classification and priority.
* Breadcrumbs and BreadcrumbList Schema.
* Optional automatic image ALT fallback.
* Optional IndexNow submission queue.
* Progressive site diagnostics.
* SEO analysis inside the WordPress editor.
* Safe Migration workflow and compatible SEO importers.
* Content extraction support for Gutenberg and selected page builders.
* Conditional WooCommerce integration designed to coordinate Product Schema instead
of duplicating it.
* robots.txt tools, pre-flight checks and technical backup utilities.
### External services
#### IndexNow
The IndexNow module is disabled by default. When an administrator enables it and
URLs are queued, Indexarix sends the following information to the configured IndexNow
endpoint:
* the website host;
* the IndexNow key and its verification URL (`keyLocation`);
* the list of local public URLs queued for update notification.
The default endpoint is `https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow`. IndexNow is a third-
party protocol used to notify participating search engines about added, updated
or removed URLs. Requests are only sent when the module is enabled.
Service: https://www.indexnow.org/
Documentation: https://www.indexnow.org/documentation
Terms: https://www.indexnow.org/terms
#### Social profile test
The optional **Test profiles** admin tool only runs after an administrator action.
It makes a safe HTTP request to profile URLs configured by that administrator to
verify whether they respond.
Indexarix does not send those profile settings to BelliCode. Requests are sent directly
from the WordPress site to the profile URL configured by the administrator. The
destination website’s own terms and privacy policy apply.
### Privacy
Indexarix SEO does not include proprietary telemetry and does not send usage data
to BelliCode. Features that perform external requests are described in the **External
services** section.
