Wall of Fame — public directory
Explore the SEO-TidY Wall of Fame
The public Wall of Fame showcases websites that have joined through SEO-TidY. Website owners can submit their sites for ownership verification and moderator review. Approved owners can also publish a detailed, moderated profile featuring a description, category and tags.
Participation is optional. The public directory and approved profiles are available to visitors without installing the plugin.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.8 or newer
- PHP 8.1 or newer
Installation
- Open the stable 1.0.0 release and expand Assets.
- Download seo-tidy-1.0.0.zip (not the source archives).
- In WordPress, open Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin.
- Select the downloaded ZIP and choose Install Now.
- Activate SEO-TidY.
- Open SEO-TidY in the WordPress administration menu.
The ZIP already contains compiled JavaScript assets. Node.js and npm are not required for normal installation.
Getting started
- Open Dashboard to see published content statistics.
- Open Metadata to review and edit SEO titles and descriptions.
- Open Smart Schema or Settings to control structured data.
- Open SEO Audit and Answer Readiness for content suggestions.
- Use Migration only after making a database backup.
Migration imports available metadata into empty SEO-TidY fields. It does not intentionally delete the source plugin's metadata. Review the preview and confirm before importing.
Using multiple SEO plugins at once may create duplicate metadata or structured data. Check the public page output before deployment.
Analytics and privacy
SEO-TidY Analytics is disabled by default. Enabling it records aggregated daily counts of eligible public page requests in the WordPress database. The analytics engine does not persist raw IP addresses or create a separate visitor event log.
- Human-classified pageviews are requests, not unique visitors.
- Suspected bots are identified heuristically from user agents.
- The bot classification can be inaccurate or manipulated.
- WordPress administrators and logged-in users are excluded.
- Non-GET and several non-public requests are excluded.
- Full-page caches, CDNs and other caching layers may bypass WordPress, so totals may be lower than actual traffic.
- The built-in engine does not calculate reliable unique visitors or real-time online visitor counts.
- Statistics are stored by calendar day for up to 365 days.
- Old rows are removed using WordPress scheduled tasks. WordPress cron depends on site activity or external cron setup.
- Administrators can explicitly delete all recorded statistics from the Analytics screen after a confirmation prompt.
The statistics badge is optional. The footer badge and the Powered by SEO-TidY attribution are disabled by default. The shortcode can be used where a badge is wanted.
Wall of Fame is optional. Owners submit their website for verification and moderator review. Approved website names, URLs and descriptions appear in the public community directory. Approved site owners can submit a detailed profile with category and tags for moderation; public profiles have crawlable HTML pages. The directory is also shown in the SEO-TidY dashboard with pagination and profile links. Central moderation is limited to the authorized hosting environment.
Site owners remain responsible for providing appropriate privacy information to their visitors.
