Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records itdatex SEO version 0.1.1 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
itdatex SEO is a deliberately lean alternative to the large SEO suites: no traffic lights, no “content analysis”, no analytics call. The plugin delivers the metadata a WordPress site needs for search engines and social preview – and nothing else.
What the plugin does
Meta description – built from the excerpt or the first 158 characters of the content, overridable per post via a meta box.
Open Graph – og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type, og:url for Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack.
Twitter Card – summary_large_image when an image is available, otherwise summary.
Canonical URL – set consistently; the core rel_canonical handler is deregistered.
Webmaster tool verifications – meta tags for Bing, Google Search Console, Yandex Webmaster (only emitted when configured).
IndexNow – optional ping to Bing/Yandex IndexNow on publish/update, disabled by default (see “External Services” below).
What the plugin does not do
No keyword score, no “SEO traffic light score”, no cornerstone content concept.
No analytics, no tracking, no user profiling.
No XML sitemap generator – WordPress core has done this natively since 5.5.
No redirect manager – that belongs at the web server level.
External Services
This plugin does not make any external HTTP calls itself, unless you explicitly enable IndexNow.
IndexNow (optional, disabled by default):
What: On every publish or update of a public post type, the URL is sent to the IndexNow protocol ( https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow ) so Bing, Yandex and other participating search engines can pick up the change immediately.
When: Only if an IndexNow key is configured under Settings -> itdatex SEO. Without a key: not a single call.
What is sent: The site’s hostname, the IndexNow key, the key location ( https://your-domain/<key>.txt ) and the URL of the post just published. No content, no user data.
Provider and terms: IndexNow is an open protocol, operated among others by Microsoft (Bing) and Yandex. Terms of use: https://www.indexnow.org/terms. Privacy: https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/what-is-indexnow-2b2ce5b1
If you do not want IndexNow, simply leave the key field empty – then no HTTP request is sent to external servers.
