Odysseo Core does the work — and, when you want to fine-tune a page, hands you the checklist too. Activate it and every URL on your site immediately has a correct title, meta description, canonical URL, indexing directive and social preview. There is no setup wizard and nothing you must fill in first. If you never open its settings, it is still doing its job — and when you do want a focus keyphrase and a score on a particular page, that is waiting for you. #### Works on everything, including things that do not exist yet Odysseo Core does not keep a list of supported post types. It reads what WordPress actually has, every time. Posts, pages, products, custom post types, categories, tags, custom taxonomies, author archives, date archives — all handled. Register a new post type tomorrow, from any plugin, and it is optimized the moment it appears. Nothing to enable, nothing to configure. #### Sensible by default, not just “on” by default Being autonomous means making the right call, not tagging everything. Odysseo Core keeps search pages, attachment pages and date archives out of the index, because those create endless near-duplicate URLs that hurt the pages you care about. It never overrides your WordPress “discourage search engines” setting, so a staging site stays out of Google. Drafts, private posts and password-protected content are never advertised. #### Templates and variables Every title and description is built from a template you can change once and see applied across the whole site instantly — nothing is copied onto your posts, so there is no stale data and no bulk re-run when you change your mind. Twenty-nine variables are available, including `%%title%%`, `%%sep%%`, %%site_name%%,`%% excerpt%%`, `%%category%%`, `%%author%%`, `%%post_type%%`, %%date%% and `%%page%%`. Variables that do not apply to a page resolve to nothing, and any separator left stranded is cleaned up automatically — so a single default template reads correctly on every kind of page. #### Finds problems you cannot see Odysseo Core builds an index of what every URL on your site actually renders, then tells you when two pages are competing for the same title, or when a page has no description. On a large site this runs in the background in batches, so it never slows down your editors or your visitors. #### Found by search engines and AI alike Odysseo Core publishes everything a page needs to be discovered, and keeps it consistent. A paginated XML sitemap lists every indexable page — with your images attached for Google Images — and because it is built from the same index as everything else, it never advertises a page you have set to noindex. An llms.txt file describes your site in plain language for the AI assistants people now ask instead of searching: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google’s AI answers. And when you publish or update a page, IndexNow tells the search engines that support it to recrawl straight away, instead of waiting for them to notice. Structured data (JSON-LD) and a visible breadcrumb trail are built from that same source too, so what a crawler reads and what a visitor clicks are always the same path. #### It repairs, it does not just report Change a published page’s address and Odysseo Core adds a redirect from the old one to the new, so existing links and search results keep working instead of breaking. It sends WordPress’s empty attachment pages to the file they belong to. And it keeps a log of the broken addresses visitors actually reach — the mistyped links and moved URLs that end in a 404 — so you can turn any of them into a redirect with one click. It never overwrites a redirect you made by hand. #### Builds your internal links While you write, Odysseo Core shows the other pages on your site about the same topics, so adding an internal link is a glance and a paste. Across the whole site it finds your orphan pages — the ones nothing links to — and names the related pages where a link to each would fit. It only ever suggests; the link you add is a link you wrote. #### Describes your images It finds the images with no alt text — the one thing a search engine and a screen reader both read instead of the picture — so your photos can be found in image search and understood by every visitor. #### On-page SEO, when you want it For the times you want to tune a specific page, Odysseo Core has the familiar green/ amber/red analysis too — set a focus keyphrase and it checks the title, the meta description, the URL, the opening paragraph, subheadings, keyphrase use, content length, image alt text and internal links, and gives the page a score. An SEO column on your post lists shows that score at a glance across a whole content type. It is entirely optional: turn it off and Odysseo simply carries on doing the work for you. #### A content-type builder, with SEO built in Odysseo Core is also an autonomous content-type builder. Answer “what are you building?”— Portfolio, Team, Services, Events, Jobs, Properties, Courses, Recipes, and more — and it creates the content type, its categories, its Schema.org type and its SEO in one click. No register_post_type(), no rewrite rules, no second plugin. Because the SEO engine reads whatever post types exist, every content type you create is instantly complete: titles, descriptions, canonicals, robots, Open Graph, structured data, the sitemap, breadcrumbs, llms.txt, IndexNow, internal- link suggestions and the on-page analysis all apply the moment it appears. A built-in custom-fields engine gives each content type the fields it needs — seventeen types including text, number, image, gallery, date, select, true/false, relationship( link one content type to another) and repeater (repeating rows). Read them in a template with `odysseo_field('field_name')`. Drop an [odysseo_content type=”…”] shortcode anywhere for a filterable, sortable, paginated grid of a content type. And a content type — with all its fields — can be exported to a file and imported on another site, or duplicated in place. #### AI is optional, and it cannot surprise you Everything above works with no AI, no API key and no bill. If you do connect a provider — Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, or a local model via Ollama or LM Studio — you must also set a monthly budget, and that budget is a hard ceiling rather than a warning. Every task is costed before it runs, work that would exceed what is left is refused rather than started, and every call is recorded with its exact token count and cost. A budget of zero means nothing is ever sent anywhere and nothing can ever be charged. Local models (Ollama, LM Studio) need no key, cost nothing, and send nothing off your server. #### Plays well with others If Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, Slim SEO, Squirrly or SmartCrawl is active, Odysseo Core stands down and tells you rather than emitting a second set of tags. Two SEO plugins writing canonicals at once is worse for your rankings than either one alone. #### For developers Every engine is a service, every module declares its own hooks, and everything is filterable. See `docs/HOOKS.md` in the plugin directory for the full reference. ## Screenshots [⌊The dashboard — your SEO health score, what it found, and every number live from your site.⌉⌊The dashboard — your SEO health score, what it found, and every number live from your site.⌉[ The dashboard — your SEO health score, what it found, and every number live from your site.

Upload the plugin, or install it from Plugins Add New. 2. Activate it. That is the whole setup. Your site is already optimized. Everything under Odysseo Core in the admin menu is optional. ## FAQ ### Do I have to configure anything? No. Every setting has a working default and the plugin optimizes your site with none of them touched. Change something only when you want to differ from the default. ### Will this conflict with my current SEO plugin? No. Odysseo Core detects the major SEO plugins and pauses its own output rather than duplicating tags, and it tells you it has done so. Deactivate the other plugin when you are ready to switch. ### Does it cost money to run? No. The SEO engine is entirely rule-based: free, instant, and it works offline. AI features are optional, off by default, and cannot run at all until you set a monthly budget. ### What happens when my AI budget runs out? AI work stops until the next month, or until you raise the budget. It is a hard limit — the plugin refuses to start a task it cannot pay for. It does not overrun. ### Does it add travel content types too? Yes. Odysseo Core also registers the travel content types the Odysseo theme is built around — Destinations, Tour Packages, Fleet, Testimonials and Gallery — along with a contact-enquiry form and a one-click demo importer. These are optional: the SEO engine works on any site with any content, and the travel types simply appear in your admin if you want them. ### Can I create my own content types? Yes — under Odysseo Core Content Types. Pick a blueprint (Portfolio, Events, Properties and so on) or name your own, and the content type is registered with its taxonomies, Schema.org type and full SEO automatically. You can add custom fields to it, link it to other content types, show it on the front end with the [odysseo_content] shortcode, and export it to reuse on another site. No separate CPT or custom-fields plugin is needed. ### Does it give pages an SEO score like Yoast or Rank Math? If you want one. Set a focus keyphrase on a post and Odysseo shows a green/amber/ red analysis and a score, plus an SEO column on your post lists. It is optional and off nothing else — with it switched off, Odysseo still optimises every page automatically. The difference from other plugins is that the score is advice, not a chore: the mechanical work is already done for you. ### Does it work with WooCommerce, Elementor, Bricks, Divi or Oxygen? Products and any other custom post type are picked up automatically. Page builders that store their content outside `post_content` may not produce an automatic description, in which case write one on the page itself. ### Will it slow my site down? No. Nothing is computed on the front end beyond what the current page needs, and all bulk analysis happens in background batches. The plugin adds no JavaScript to your front end, and no CSS unless you choose to display its breadcrumbs — in which case it is a single, few-hundred-byte stylesheet you can also turn off. ### What is the llms.txt file? It is a plain-language guide to your pages, published at yoursite.com/llms.txt, for the AI assistants people increasingly ask instead of searching — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers. Odysseo Core builds it automatically from the same titles and descriptions your pages already use, and lists only pages you allow search engines to index. Leave it on and it stays current on its own. ### Does it create redirects by itself? Yes, but only safe ones. When you change a published page’s address, it adds a redirect from the old address to the new so nothing breaks. It never overwrites a redirect you made by hand, and every automatic redirect is listed and reversible. It also logs the broken addresses visitors reach, so you can fix real dead ends with one click rather than guessing. ### Does it tell search engines when I publish? If IndexNow is on, publishing or updating a page pings the search engines that support it — Bing, Yandex and others — to recrawl that one URL. Only your own public pages are ever submitted, never a page set to noindex, and nothing is sent on a site that discourages search engines. ### Is my API key safe? Safest is to put it in `wp-config.php` as a constant, for example ODYSSEO_AI_KEY_ANTHROPIC— the key then never touches your database, so database backups and dumps cannot leak it. Keys stored through the admin are encrypted with a key derived from your site’s` AUTH_KEY`, which protects against a database-only breach. Keys are never displayed back to you. ### Do you track me or collect any data? No. Odysseo Core has no analytics, no telemetry and no phone-home. It never sends information about you or your site anywhere. The only outbound requests it can make are ones you switch on and control: optional AI (only after you set an API key and a spending budget) and IndexNow, which submits your own public page addresses to search engines so they recrawl faster. With both off, the plugin makes no external requests at all. ### Who owns my content and SEO data? You do — entirely. Nothing is stored in a proprietary format. Your posts, pages and media are ordinary WordPress content. Your per-page SEO fields live in standard post meta (`_odysseo_seo_*`). Your content types and their fields live in a normal WordPress option, and any content type can be exported to a plain JSON file. Odysseo never claims ownership of your content or your website. ### What happens if I deactivate or uninstall? Deactivating changes nothing about your content — your posts, pages, custom post types and their data stay exactly where they are, and reappear if you reactivate. Uninstalling removes only Odysseo’s own settings and its derived tables (the search index, the redirect and 404 logs, and similar caches, all rebuildable). It deliberately keeps your `_odysseo_seo_*` page meta and your content-type definitions, so switching away — or reactivating later — never deletes work you did. There is no lock-in: content types export to JSON, and everything else is standard WordPress you can take anywhere. ### I use Yoast, Rank Math, ACF or CPT UI — can I switch? Yes. When a major SEO plugin is active Odysseo stands down and tells you, so the two never fight; deactivate the other when you are ready and Odysseo takes over. Because Odysseo generates correct titles, descriptions and structured data automatically, most sites need no import at all. Custom titles or descriptions you hand-wrote in another plugin are stored in that plugin’s own meta and do not transfer on their own — so after switching, it is worth checking your most important pages and re- entering any wording you want to keep. Custom post types and fields created elsewhere keep working; Odysseo optimises them like any other content. ### How many plugins does this replace? For a typical site, Odysseo Core stands in for a stack of them: an SEO plugin, a schema/structured-data plugin, an XML sitemap plugin, a breadcrumb plugin, a redirect/ 404 plugin, a custom-post-type plugin and a custom-fields plugin — one install, one settings area, one design, instead of seven that each need configuring and can conflict with each other. ## Reviews ഈ പ്ലഗിന് റിവ്യൂകൾ ഒന്നുമില്ല. ## Contributors & Developers “Odysseo Core” is open source software.
