Sanctuary Tiger SEO

Sanctuary Tiger SEO gives every page on your site the technical SEO foundation search engines and social platforms expect, configured once and working immediately after activation.

What’s included:

• Document title tags, with safe fallback handling for themes that don’t declare title-tag support
• Meta descriptions, with sensible fallbacks (excerpt, term description, author bio)
• Canonical URLs on every page and post type
• Robots meta — correct index/noindex handling on search, 404, and attachment pages automatically
• Open Graph and Twitter Card tags
• Core Schema.org structured data: Organization, Person, LocalBusiness, WebPage/WebSite, BreadcrumbList, Article, and FAQPage
• XML sitemaps
• A database-backed 301/302 redirect manager, including wildcard matching and per-redirect hit counts
• A one-click broken-internal-link scanner and cleanup tool
• Real-time SEO health checks for thin content, missing titles, and duplicate meta descriptions
• A visual robots.txt editor
• Settings import/export

Optional Pro add-on

An optional Pro add-on is available separately (not through WordPress.org) for sites that want AI-assisted writing tools, advanced Schema types (Events, Courses, Products, Reviews, Video, Podcast), Core Web Vitals monitoring, multi-location SEO, programmatic page generation, Google Search Console rank tracking, and other advanced features. The free plugin works completely independently of it.

External Services

This plugin connects to the following external services under specific conditions:

WordPress AI Client (optional, Pro add-on only)

AI-powered features (Pro add-on only) are routed entirely through the WordPress AI Client (built into WordPress 7.0+). The site owner selects and configures their AI provider once at Settings → Connectors. Neither the free plugin nor the Pro add-on contacts any AI provider’s API directly — all requests go through the WordPress AI Client, using whichever provider the site owner has configured there. * WordPress AI Client documentation: https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/ai-client/

Broken link checker

The SEO Health dashboard includes a broken-link scanner. When the site owner manually runs a scan, the plugin sends HTTP HEAD requests to the URLs found in the site’s own published content to check whether each link still responds. This may include external URLs, because your content can link to other websites. No data about your site or visitors is transmitted beyond the standard HTTP request; only the link’s own address is contacted, and only when you choose to run a scan. Requests use WordPress’s safe HTTP API, which blocks requests to private/internal network addresses.

Canonical URL scanner

The SEO Health dashboard includes a canonical-conflict scanner. When the site owner manually runs it, the plugin fetches your own site’s XML sitemap (and any sub-sitemaps it references) to compare declared canonical URLs. It only ever requests URLs on your own domain — any URL in the sitemap that points to a different host is skipped — and only when you choose to run the scan.
