Description
Beriyack SEO is a simple and effective WordPress plugin designed to optimize the essential technical aspects of your search engine optimization (SEO). It focuses on three fundamental pillars without overloading your site:
- Meta Tag Management: Automatically adds
meta descriptiontags, Open Graph tags (for Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.), and Twitter Cards to improve the appearance of your shares on social media. - Sitemap Integration: Automatically declares the location of your native WordPress sitemap in the virtual
robots.txtfile, helping search engines discover your content more efficiently. - Indexing Directives: Prevents the indexing of search result pages and 404 pages, which are considered low-quality content by search engines, by adding
noindex, nofollowdirectives.
This plugin is ideal for site owners who want a lightweight solution to cover the basics of technical SEO without needing the complex features of larger SEO suites.

Frequently Asked Questions
The plugin follows a simple logic: for a post or page, it uses the featured image. If no featured image is set, or for any other page (homepage, archives, etc.), it will use the default image that you can configure in the plugin’s settings page (Settings > Beriyack SEO).
No. Beriyack SEO is designed to be a very lightweight solution that handles a few specific technical optimizations. It does not offer content analysis, keyword management, or other advanced features found in comprehensive SEO suites.
The meta name="author" tag uses the display name of the post’s author. On other pages, it uses the site name. The twitter:site tag uses the handle you can enter in the plugin’s settings page. If the field is left empty, the tag is not added.
Yes. You can upload a default image directly from the WordPress admin, by going to the Settings > Beriyack SEO menu. This approach makes the plugin independent of your theme.
