One of the most common SEO problems on WordPress sites is that people add too many tags to posts. In fact, <a href="https://fewertags.com/research/" rel="nofollow ugc">our research shows</a> that most WordPress sites use tags wrong. The WordPress interface makes it incredibly easy to do so, and with every tag you add, you add another URL to your site for search engines to crawl and index. This plugin minimizes that effect by setting a minimum number of posts needed for a tag to be “live” on your site.
Fewer Tags Free solves this problem for you! It does that by simply not showing tags that have less than 10 posts in them to users and search engines.
Tags that have less than the configured number of posts:
<ul>
<li>Are hidden from visitors and search engines on your site, and are redirected to your homepage.</li>
<li>They don’t show up in tag listings.</li>
<li>The are no longer linked in WordPress core’s or Yoast SEO or Slim SEO generated XML sitemaps.</li>
</ul>
This positively affects your site’s SEO and also leads to less crawling, as you have less useless tag pages.
