The Problem
In the world of content creation, a blog post title must serve two masters with conflicting objectives. Its primary role is to clearly communicate to readers and search engines what the post is about. However, when long, keyword-rich titles are displayed on archive pages or in query loops, they are too long, dare I say clunky, and what helps a search engine or reader isn’t likely to engage or entice visitors to click through.
The Solution
The Short Title Block plugin resolves this conflict by giving you the flexibility to add a short, enticing title to posts. This short title can be used on archive pages and in query loops.
Using a short title in this way will significantly improve click-through rates and overall engagement in query loops and on archive pages without compromising the primary purpose of your post titles.
The plugin also adds an additional control to the Title block that lets you choose the short title.
But what happens if you don’t add a Short Title to your post?
No worries. The plugin has logic in place to use the default title if the Short Title is not available.
Review the screenshot for detailed “How-To” instructions for the plugin.

TLDR takes a whole new approach to lead generation from your content. Instead of interrupting your website visitors by firing tons of popups, welcome mats and scrolling boxes, TLDR actually improves the experience of your users.
Using TLDR you can add short summaries for each of your blog posts and then embed relevant call-to-action (CTA) boxes at the end to offer content upgrades and capture email address data. Not only are you reducing the bounce rate from your longer content but you’re able to add relevant and non-intrusive CTAs closer to the top of your content.
Features of TLDR include:
<ul>
<li>Add a custom TLDR summary button to your blog posts.</li>
<li>Add individual CTAs to any of your blog posts that sit within the summary section.</li>
<li>CTA clicks and button clicks are automatically tracked in Google Analytics.</li>
<li>Summaries only appear on posts that you choose, otherwise the option will be hidden.</li>
<li>Embed your own custom forms by adding shortcodes within the summary sections.</li>
<li>Completely customise the design of your CTA boxes and the TLDR button within the plugin settings.</li>
<li>Works seamlessly on mobile, unlike a lot of other lead generation tools.</li>
</ul>
