Schema.org markup, Open Graph meta-data and XML sitemaps are important for the performance of a website on search engines and social media.
It is easy to install some large plugin like Yoast SEO to do this, while also loading your site with a million other functions that you might or might not want.
I decided to make a minute plugin to just do Schema.org and Open Graph, and I’m quite content because it works.
The RS SEO Basics plugin is just that — basic.
It has very little configuration, and will work without any.
On the other hand, if you want to do fancier Schema.org markup on your site, you can do that with a simple YAML document.
In fact, you can do much more Schema.org markup with this little plugin, that you can with something like Yoast SEO.
I didn’t have to implement XML Sitemaps because once I had deactivated Yoast SEO, the native WordPress sitemaps appeared. They might not be as fancy as the others, but they’ll do the job.
