💡 TECH TIP

👍 Our SEO Plugin Recommendation is Rank Math

Why You Need an SEO Plugin?
WordPress doesn't generate proper meta tags, schema markup, or XML sitemaps out of the box. Without SEO optimization, search engines can't properly index and rank your content.

Modern React-based architecture

✅ 404 monitor + redirect manager
✅ Local SEO module
✅ Image SEO automation (auto alt tags)
✅ XML sitemaps (auto-generated)
