Beriyack SEO is a simple and effective WordPress plugin designed to optimize the essential technical aspects of your search engine optimization (SEO). It focuses on three fundamental pillars without overloading your site:
<ul>
<li>Meta Tag Management: Automatically adds <code>meta description</code> tags, Open Graph tags (for Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.), and Twitter Cards to improve the appearance of your shares on social media.</li>
<li>Sitemap Integration: Automatically declares the location of your native WordPress sitemap in the virtual <code>robots.txt</code> file, helping search engines discover your content more efficiently.</li>
<li>Indexing Directives: Prevents the indexing of search result pages and 404 pages, which are considered low-quality content by search engines, by adding <code>noindex, nofollow</code> directives.</li>
</ul>
This plugin is ideal for site owners who want a lightweight solution to cover the basics of technical SEO without needing the complex features of larger SEO suites.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
This plugin does not collect or store any personal data from your site’s visitors. All information managed by this plugin is retrieved from your existing WordPress database or configured by the site administrator.

This plugin issues an HTTP <code>410</code> response for URLs corresponding to content that has been permanently removed from your site. Originally created by Samir Shah, now maintained by Matt Calvert. When a post or page is deleted, the plugin logs the old URL and returns a <code>410</code> response when that URL is requested. You can also manually manage the list of obsolete URLs.
The <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.11" rel="nofollow ugc">HTTP Specification</a> defines the <code>410 Gone</code> response for resources that have been permanently removed. It informs search engines and crawlers that the content will not return, improving crawl efficiency and SEO clarity.
This plugin is actively maintained by Matt Calvert as a personal project, informed by previous professional experience with similar 410-handling logic. No proprietary or employer-owned code has been used.
