Waggle SEO
Free on-page SEO for WordPress — meta tags, sitemaps, schema, redirects and broken links. The free half of Waggle.

Waggle SEO
Free, on-page SEO for WordPress. Meta tags, sitemaps, schema, redirects, broken links and image SEO — no account, no tracking, no upsell wall.
Status: pre-release. This is the scaffold. Features are being moved across from Waggle one reviewable PR at a time — see the epic.
The two plugins
| Waggle SEO (this repo, free, WP.org) | titles, metas, OG/Twitter, canonical, noindex, schema, XML sitemap, robots rules, redirects, 404 log, broken links, image SEO, importers |
| Waggle AI (pro) | llms.txt, Markdown page copies, AI bot logging, crawler access, citation checks, AI-readiness audit |
Neither requires the other. They detect each other and stand back, so the classic <head>
is written exactly once.
Requirements
WordPress 6.6+, PHP 7.4+. Two features sit above that floor and degrade honestly when absent: agent abilities need WP 6.9, and AI drafting needs WP 7.0's AI client plus a provider you configure yourself.
External services
One: the AI provider you configure in WordPress, used only when you ask for a suggestion. No licensing server, no analytics, no phone-home.
Development
composer install
composer test # PHPUnit — no WordPress required
composer phpcs
composer phpstanGPL-2.0-or-later.
