About OptimizIA Lite
From the official readme · v1.0.10Description
OptimizIA Lite is a lightweight technical SEO plugin for WordPress sites, content portals, directory-style websites and WooCommerce stores.
The WordPress.org edition contains an unrestricted set of core SEO features. It does not use license gates, private update servers, telemetry, remote executable code or required external services.
Included features
- SEO title and meta description templates.
- Home, posts, directory items, directory taxonomies and WooCommerce template support.
- Per-content SEO title and meta description overrides.
- Per-content noindex override.
- Open Graph and X Card metadata.
- WordPress robots controls for search, filtered URLs, archives and attachment pages.
- Canonical controls for paginated archives and WooCommerce filtered URLs.
- Thin-tag and directory-term indexability thresholds.
- JSON-LD structured data for Organization, WebSite, Article/NewsArticle, Product, ImageObject and BreadcrumbList contexts.
- Directory custom post type and taxonomy mapping, including automatic BuscaguIA defaults when those types exist.
- Breadcrumb shortcode:
[optimizia_breadcrumbs]. - Local configuration only; no analytics or tracking is sent to the plugin author.
Privacy and external services
OptimizIA Lite does not send site content, user information or usage analytics to the plugin author or to a required third-party service.
Open Graph metadata and JSON-LD are generated locally by WordPress. The plugin does not download executable code or updates from third-party servers. Updates for this edition are expected to be delivered through WordPress.org.
Installation
- Upload the
optimizia-litefolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. - Activate OptimizIA Lite.
- Open Settings > OptimizIA Lite.
- Review the General, Templates, Indexing and Schema tabs.
- If you use a directory custom post type, map its post type and taxonomies in the General tab.
- Optionally place
[optimizia_breadcrumbs]where you want a visible breadcrumb trail.
Frequently asked questions
Does OptimizIA Lite require an API key?
No. The Lite edition included in WordPress.org does not require an API key or a license key.
Does the plugin contact an external licensing or update server?
No. This Lite package contains no private license manager or private updater. WordPress.org handles updates for the directory edition.
Can I use it with WooCommerce?
Yes. The Lite edition includes SEO template handling and structured data support for WooCommerce product and product-category contexts when WooCommerce is active.
Can I use it for a business directory?
Yes. You can map a custom post type plus category, city and zone taxonomies. Common BuscaguIA post type and taxonomy names are detected automatically when available.
What happens if the full OptimizIA plugin is active too?
OptimizIA Lite stays inactive while the full edition is active, preventing duplicate SEO metadata and schema output.
Does uninstalling the plugin delete my SEO fields?
No. Uninstall removes the Lite settings option but intentionally preserves per-content SEO metadata so editorial work is not destroyed.
