## Description
A free SEO plugin: manual editing of ALT/Title/Caption/Description for
Media Library
images, SEO title/description for posts and pages, basic schema.org markup (JSON-
LD, Article/WebPage), an XML sitemap and robots.txt.
#### Features
* Media Library: scan images missing ALT text (global mode) and browse
the images
used on a specific page/post (“per page” mode), edit ALT/Title/Caption/Description,
save one card at a time or in bulk with the “Save all” button
* Meta tags: a metabox on the post edit screen with SEO title/description
fields,
output of the tags on the front end (``, )
* Default templates (“Smart Tags”, modeled after AIOSEO): if a post has no
custom
SEO Title/Description, the site-wide template from Settings is used, with placeholders`#
post_title`, `#site_title`, `#tagline`, #separator, `#current_year`, `#current_date`—
the post metabox shows what will actually be output before you even save. In
Settings, tags are inserted with a button click, and a live preview with real
site values is shown right under the field
* Schema.org: JSON-LD Article (posts) / WebPage (pages) markup in
wp_head, reusing
the values from the Meta module
* XML sitemap at `/sitemap.xml` — all public posts/pages, generated
dynamically
on request (no file written to disk), can be toggled in Settings
* robots.txt: extra rules from Settings are appended to WordPress’s
standard virtual
robots.txt, plus an automatic `Sitemap:` line pointing to the sitemap (if enabled)
* Open Graph (`og:title`, `og:description`, `og:image`, `og:url`,
og:site_name,`
og:locale`) in `wp_head` — a single standard parsed by VKontakte, Odnoklassniki,
Telegram and MAX for link previews. Reuses the same values as SEO title/description(
see Meta/Smart Tags above)
* 301/302 redirects: a rule is “source (path, `*` allowed as a prefix
wildcard)
destination (full URL)”, managed as a list with enable/disable and delete right
in the admin screen (Snigirev Meta & Alt Redirects), checked on every request
before the page is output
#### Extended AI version
If you need automatic AI generation of ALT text/title/caption/description
for images
and AI-generated SEO Title/Description for posts and pages, that’s a separate paid
product, **Snigirev AI Meta & Alt** (the full version), not distributed through
the WordPress.org directory. Details and purchase: [aiseobooster.aeropic.ru](https://aiseobooster.aeropic.ru/).
Snigirev Meta & Alt is a standalone free plugin that works fully on its own, with
no integration with the paid version.
### External Services
This plugin does not send any data to external services. All assets
(including
the select2 library used for the page/post dropdown on the “Snigirev Meta & Alt”
media screen) are bundled with the plugin and served from your own site — no third-
party CDN or remote service is contacted, neither from the server nor from the administrator’s
browser.
