Asneris SEO Toolkit

Asneris SEO Toolkit is a technical SEO plugin for WordPress. It helps site administrators configure and validate technical SEO signals that search engines can access.

The plugin does not predict rankings or guarantee indexing. All features are optional and configurable by the site administrator.

This plugin focuses on technical SEO configuration and validation using standard WordPress APIs.

Key capabilities:

• Google, Bing, and Yandex site verification via meta tags
• IndexNow URL submission on publish, update, or delete (optional)
• SEO titles and meta descriptions with template support and safe fallbacks
• Canonical URL output
• Robots meta defaults and per-content overrides
• Open Graph and Twitter Card social preview tags
• JSON-LD schema output (Organization, WebSite, WebPage, Article, LocalBusiness, and more)
• Site Diagnostics: site-wide checks for configuration issues
• Page Diagnostics: inspect a single URL’s meta tags, headers, and redirect chain
• Robots.txt editor and validator
• Bulk Edit: update SEO fields and indexing settings for many posts/pages at once
• Sitemap helper and conflict detection for duplicate SEO plugins
• Templates system for consistent titles and descriptions
• Redirect management (301, 302, 307) with automatic slug change tracking
• Built-in help and documentation pages

Philosophy: SEO is not about gaming algorithms or chasing scores. It’s about making your content clear, accessible, and understandable to search engines. This plugin helps validate these signals in a clear and structured way.

IndexNow Notes

IndexNow requires a UTF-8 encoded key file named {key}.txt at the site root.

When IndexNow is enabled, this plugin dynamically serves the required file at: /{key}.txt

After enabling IndexNow, you may need to re-save permalinks so the key URL becomes accessible.

External Services

This plugin connects to the IndexNow API to notify participating search engines when URLs are added, updated, or removed.

• Service: IndexNow
• Service URL: https://www.indexnow.org/
• Data sent: The URL of the content being published, updated, or deleted, and the IndexNow API key used for verification.
• When data is sent: Only when IndexNow is enabled and a supported content event occurs.
• Purpose: To notify participating search engines about content changes.
• Privacy policy: https://www.indexnow.org/privacy
