Der Donat Easy SEO
Easy SEO brings the most important SEO basics directly into the WordPress workflow without turning your site into an overloaded SEO suite.
The plugin adds editorial fields for SEO titles, meta descriptions, social preview titles, social preview descriptions, social images, optional excerpts, noindex and canonical URLs. Easy SEO outputs the relevant metadata on the front end, creates a lean XML sitemap, can add a sitemap hint to robots.txt for public sites, and provides breadcrumbs via shortcode and an optional Elementor widget.
Easy SEO is designed for practical client projects: clear defaults, transparent output, local data storage and a small set of features that site owners can actually use. It deliberately avoids external tracking scripts, visitor cookies, browser local storage and automatic content transfer to external services.
The current admin interface is German-first. That makes the plugin especially useful for German-speaking site owners, agencies and editorial teams, while the WordPress.org readme is kept in English for directory compatibility.
