Feed the robots tasty snacks to improve your site’s SEO and AIO.
<h4>Really TRULY Free</h4>
The only truly free, feature-rich WordPress SEO plugin with no paid upgrades, no upsells, and no bloat. All features, all users, unlimited websites, no catch. Forever.
I like and use the “Big 3” myself, but I don’t like their pricing models and often, I just need the nuts and bolts of basic SEO features without constant upsell nags throughout the admin. I don’t need flashy SEO scores or advanced features or AI writers. I don’t want a setup wizard or a labyrinth of settings pages to navigate through to find one little toggle.
<a href="https://robotfood.me/" rel="nofollow ugc">Robot Food</a> isn’t fancy, it’s just useful, which is also the right mindset for SEO itself. If you want to get into the weeds, <a href="https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors" rel="nofollow ugc">you can</a>, but SEO isn’t really all that complex or mysterious and can be boiled down to two simple steps:
<ol>
<li>Be useful. Have quality content or offer worthwhile tools or services.</li>
<li>Be tasty. Have a website that’s secure, fast, and structured well, so it’s easy for both humans and bots to navigate.</li>
</ol>

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.
