Welcome to the development website of Add-Meta-Tags.

Add-Meta-Tags is a Free metadata plugin for the WordPress Publishing Platform that can optimize your web site for more efficient indexing and easier sharing of your content. It achieves this by generating machine friendly information, called metadata, about your content, according to widely used specifications. More specifically, Add-Meta-Tags generates the description and keywords meta tags, Opengraph, Schema.org microdata and JSON+LD data, Twitter Cards and Dublin Core metadata for your content and archives, your WooCommerce products and product groups, BuddyPress profiles, and more.

It also supports advanced title customization letting you take control of the title generation on every part of the web site. Moreover, a basic breadcrumb trail generator is provided for use with hierarchical post types. Last, but not least, it lets you customize the locale on a per post basis generating a proper hreflang link for a signle language and, also, is out-of-the-box compatible with WPML and Polylang multilingual plugins (through the WPML language configuration file that ships with the plugin). Finally, support for Accelerated Mobile Pages as generated by the AMP plugin has been implemented.

Add-Meta-Tags supports internal caching of the generated metadata of content and media pages and thus contributes to the preservation of system resources on high traffic web sites. Metadata caching can also lead to slightly faster page load times in several cases.

This project was started in 2006 (Add-Meta-Tags historical home).

It is one of the personal software projects of George Notaras. It is developed in his free time and released to the open source WordPress community as Free software.
