<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>SEO Title & Meta Description – Set custom titles and meta descriptions for every page, post, and custom post type.</li>
<li>Live SERP Preview – See exactly how your page will look in Google search results, for both desktop and mobile.</li>
<li>Character Counter with Progress Bar – Visual feedback with color-coded progress bars (green = optimal, orange = borderline, red = too long/short).</li>
<li>Open Graph Tags – Control how your content appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, XING, and other OG-compatible platforms.</li>
<li>X / Twitter Cards – Dedicated Twitter Card meta tags for optimal appearance on X (formerly Twitter).</li>
<li>Custom Social Media Texts – Optionally define separate titles and descriptions for social media sharing.</li>
<li>Social Media Preview – See a preview of how your content will look when shared on Facebook/LinkedIn.</li>
<li>Modular Feature Toggles – Enable or disable individual features from the settings page.</li>
<li>SEO Data Importer – Switch from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress or All in One SEO with one click. Imports titles, descriptions and social media data automatically.</li>
<li>Focus Keyword Analysis – Enter your target keyword and get a live 10-point SEO analysis: checks title, description, URL, content density, headings, image alt tags, text length and links.</li>
<li>REST API Support – All SEO meta fields are readable and writable via the WordPress REST API for headless setups and custom integrations.</li>
<li>Indexing Controls – Set noindex/nofollow per page and override canonical URLs. Per-post AI crawler override (block/allow) overrides the global setting for individual pages – useful for premium content (block) or marketing pages (allow). Live preview of the robots meta tag. Pages marked as noindex are also automatically excluded from the XML sitemap. Automatic noindex for WooCommerce variation URLs, layered-nav filters and cart-action URLs to prevent duplicate-content issues. Respects WordPress “Discourage search engines” setting automatically.</li>
<li>AI Crawler Blocker – Block AI crawlers like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Common Crawl, TikTok and Meta AI from using your content for training. One-click global setting plus per-post override: explicitly block AI on individual pages (e.g. premium content) or explicitly allow AI on selected pages (e.g. marketing pages) even when blocking is global.</li>
<li>Content Rating & Audience – Mark the site as General, Mature or Adult (18+) for Google SafeSearch and browser parental filters. Optional RTA-5042 label and HTTP <code>Rating</code> header. Per-post override on the Indexing tab. WooCommerce shops can set a minimum audience age (16/18/…) per product or site-wide — emitted as Schema.org <code>PeopleAudience</code> / <code>suggestedMinAge</code> so age-restricted goods (wine, tobacco, fireworks) keep their normal SERP visibility while declaring the age restriction in structured data.</li>
<li>llms.txt Support with AI-friendly Setup – Generate /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt to provide AI systems (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews) with a structured, spec-compliant summary of your website. Dedicated llms.txt Setup tab with six global content blocks describing your business as a whole: Short Answer (elevator pitch), Product / Main Offering with feature list, Pricing tiers, Target Audience, Money Keyword (your most important search term) and Company Information. Each block is optional — empty blocks are simply hidden in the output. Beginner-friendly examples for every block show how a service business, an online shop and a local business would fill it in. Per-post curation in the meta box: LLM Description, Section, Priority (Top/Normal) and Include checkbox. Posts marked as noindex or with AI crawlers explicitly blocked are automatically excluded. Strict curation — only posts with a real LLM Description are listed, so cart, checkout and stub pages never dilute the signal. Status dashboard, post-list status column (🟢🟡⚪), Quick Edit / Bulk Edit support and live Markdown preview included.</li>
<li>XML Sitemap – Single-file /sitemap.xml automatically generated and served at your domain root. Includes posts, pages, WooCommerce products, custom post types, author archives and date archives by default; categories and tags optional. Image Sitemap extension includes featured and OG images for Google Image Search. Smart 1-hour cache with automatic invalidation on content changes. Respects per-page noindex and the global “Discourage search engines” setting. Browser-readable XSL stylesheet for human-friendly viewing.</li>
<li>Sitemap Submission Hub – Dedicated admin page with copy-ready URLs (full URL for Bing/Yandex, path-only for Google Search Console with one-click clipboard copy) and direct links to Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Yandex Webmaster and IndexNow. WordPress core sitemap (/wp-sitemap.xml) automatically disabled to avoid duplicate content. Migration hint guides users through replacing the old WP core sitemap with the new URL.</li>
<li>Redirect Manager – Built-in 301 redirect manager with a clean admin UI. Add redirects from old URLs to new URLs, track hit counts and last-hit timestamp per redirect. Trailing slashes and query strings are normalised automatically. Fast lookup via object cache, deferred hit counter to keep redirects snappy. Loop detection and duplicate-source prevention built in.</li>
<li>Schema.org Structured Data – Automatic JSON-LD output for Article, WebPage, Product, BreadcrumbList and WebSite. Override schema type per page. FAQPage schema auto-generated from headings.</li>
<li>WooCommerce Compatible – Full support for WooCommerce products with HPOS compatibility. Product schema includes price, availability and ratings.</li>
<li>Multilingual Ready – Fully translated by the author: German (DE, AT, CH – Du/Sie), English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch. Translations load automatically.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported Platforms</h4>
The plugin generates optimized meta tags for:
<ul>
<li>Google & Search Engines – SEO title tags and meta descriptions</li>
<li>Facebook – Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type, etc.)</li>
<li>LinkedIn – Uses Open Graph tags for link previews</li>
<li>XING – Uses Open Graph tags for link previews</li>
<li>X / Twitter – Dedicated Twitter Card tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image)</li>
</ul>
<h4>XML Sitemap</h4>
The plugin generates a complete, search-engine-ready XML sitemap at /sitemap.xml:
<ul>
<li>Available immediately after activation – no setup wizard, no manual generation step</li>
<li>Image Sitemap extension included for better Google Image Search visibility</li>
<li>Granular content control – choose exactly which post types, archives and taxonomies to include</li>
<li>Automatic noindex respect – pages with noindex are excluded automatically</li>
<li>Direct submission to all major search engines with copy-ready URLs:
<ul>
<li>Full URL for Bing Webmaster Tools and Yandex Webmaster</li>
<li>Path-only (sitemap.xml) for Google Search Console where the domain is auto-filled</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>WordPress core sitemap (wp-sitemap.xml) automatically disabled to prevent duplicate-content issues</li>
<li>Migration guidance – built-in hint reminds you to update old sitemap submissions in your webmaster tools</li>
</ul>
<h4>WooCommerce Friendly</h4>
Out-of-the-box improvements for WooCommerce shops:
<ul>
<li>Variation URL noindex – product variation URLs (e.g. ?attribute_size=l&attribute_color=red) are automatically set to noindex, follow. Variable products with several attributes can otherwise create dozens or hundreds of near-duplicate URLs that waste crawl budget and dilute ranking signals.</li>
<li>Layered navigation filter noindex – filter URLs (?filter_*, ?pa_*, ?min_price=, ?max_price=, ?rating_filter=, ?query_type_*) on shop and category pages are excluded from indexing.</li>
<li>Sort and cart-action noindex – ?orderby= on listings, ?add-to-cart=, ?removed_item= and ?undo_item= are also handled.</li>
<li>Canonical preserved – the canonical URL on a variation page still points to the main product, so backlinks and ranking signals consolidate to the correct URL.</li>
<li>Product schema – WooCommerce products get full Schema.org Product markup including price, availability and SKU.</li>
<li>Sitemap integration – products are included in the XML sitemap with their featured image (Image Sitemap extension).</li>
<li>One global toggle – can be disabled if your setup requires variation URLs to be indexed (default: enabled).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Redirects</h4>
A simple, fast 301 redirect manager built right into the SEO plugin – no need to hand-edit .htaccess for the common cases:
<ul>
<li>Clean admin UI – add, edit and delete redirects inline with a familiar WordPress-style table</li>
<li>Path-based source matching – enter just the path (e.g. /old-page) instead of full URLs</li>
<li>Internal or external targets – redirect to another path on the same site (/new-page) or to a completely different domain (https://other-site.com/page)</li>
<li>Smart matching – trailing slashes and query strings are ignored automatically (most common user expectation)</li>
<li>Hit counter and last-hit timestamp – see at a glance which redirects are actively used and which can be cleaned up</li>
<li>Loop and duplicate detection – the plugin refuses self-loops, reverse loops and duplicate source URLs at save time</li>
<li>Fast and lightweight – redirect map cached via the WordPress object cache, hit counter updates deferred to shutdown so redirects stay snappy</li>
<li>Intentionally simple – exact path match only, always 301. For wildcards, regex or advanced features, use a dedicated redirect plugin</li>
</ul>
<h4>AI Crawler Control</h4>
Granular control over how AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Common Crawl, TikTok, Meta AI, Apple Intelligence) interact with your content:
<ul>
<li>Global setting – one-click block/allow for the whole site via Settings → Indexing & AI Crawlers</li>
<li>Per-post override – three options for each page in the Indexing tab:
<ul>
<li>Use global setting (default) – follows the site-wide setting</li>
<li>Block AI crawlers for this page – overrides global, e.g. for premium/member-only content</li>
<li>Allow AI crawlers for this page – overrides global, e.g. for marketing pages where AI visibility is desired</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Live preview in the meta box – shows the effective robots and AI meta tags based on the current combination of global + per-post settings</li>
<li>Consistent across all layers – the per-post override applies to:
<ul>
<li><code><meta></code> tags in <code><head></code> (noai, noimageai, per-bot blocking)</li>
<li>llms.txt and llms-full.txt (blocked posts are automatically excluded)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>REST API exposed – <code>_sdstd_ai_bots_override</code> is available for headless setups and bulk-edit workflows</li>
</ul>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Website owners who want simple SEO control without bloat</li>
<li>Developers who need a clean, well-structured SEO solution</li>
<li>WooCommerce shops that need social sharing optimization</li>
<li>Sites that need a clean XML sitemap without the complexity of a full SEO suite</li>
<li>Membership and premium-content sites that need granular AI crawler control per page</li>
<li>Sites with frequent URL changes that need a built-in 301 redirect manager</li>
<li>Multilingual DACH-region websites</li>
</ul>

<h4>Credits</h4>
Without help and support from the WordPress community I was not able to develop this plugin, so thank you!

VS Meta Description

it's really foolish to stick a single meta description in the sitewide header template. that's duplicate content so google knows immediately it's poor quality. it will do more harm than good to your rankings.

1 description duplicated sitewide = bad seo

Simple plugin doing exactly what it is supposed to without bloat. 
Maybe a button could be added to the Default Open Graph Image field, to select the image directly from the library instead of pasting its URL.

Works perfectly

The plugin works perfectly, it is extremely small (8kb zipped), which is a big plus, and the developer is super nice, very responsive and simply awesome.

Thanks a million,
Nick.

A 5 star plugin

Its perfect

With this lightweight plugin you can add a meta description to your website.
