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 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/seo-confident/` or upload the zip under** Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin** 2. Activate the plugin via the Plugins menu 3. Open **SEO Confident** in the WordPress admin 4. 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. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SEO Confident” is open source software.
