Clean up what WordPress adds to every page
Remove the extra links, feeds and address variations WordPress makes, so search engines spend their time on your real pages.
- Open Clean-up — Go to SEO, Clean-up. The Head and feeds tab lists each extra line WordPress adds to your pages and shows whether it is on your home page now.
- Switch off the lines you do not need — Short links, software version tags and links for old blogging apps help nobody. Switch them off one by one, or press Switch on the recommended set, then Save changes.
- Tidy your addresses — On the Addresses tab, switch on Remove unknown parameters from addresses and Remove comment-reply copies, and drop /category/ from category addresses if you want. Old addresses keep working: they redirect.
- Choose how your links look when shared — On the Link previews tab, choose Use the SEO title and Use the sharing image, and who is shown as the author when someone pastes your link into a chat or a social post.
