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.

TagGator lets you build a keyword list and apply matching tags to all your posts in one click.
How it works:
<ol>
<li>Enter your tag words in the Tag List — one per line, or comma-separated. Each word is both the tag name and the keyword searched for.</li>
<li>Configure matching options (case-sensitive, whole words, minimum occurrences).</li>
<li>Click Preview to see what would be tagged, or Bulk Tag All Posts to apply tags immediately.</li>
<li>Use Remove Unmatched Tags to clean up stale tags if you update your list.</li>
</ol>
Example tag list:
<pre><code>JavaScript, PHP, Python
WordPress, Gutenberg
Node.js, React, Vue
</code></pre>
A post containing “JavaScript” receives the “JavaScript” tag. Tags are only applied when the minimum match count is met, so you stay in control.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Flat tag list — every word is both tag and keyword, no complex syntax</li>
<li>Case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching</li>
<li>Whole-word or substring matching</li>
<li>Minimum match count in body and/or title</li>
<li>Enable/disable tagging per post type</li>
<li>Choose which taxonomy to tag with per post type</li>
<li>Preview before committing — no surprises</li>
<li>Remove Unmatched Tags cleans up only plugin-applied tags, never manually added ones</li>
<li>Tagging history in the post editor sidebar</li>
<li>No external dependencies, no tracking, no telemetry</li>
</ul>
