FAQ
-
Do I need an SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO) to use this?

No. Simple Open Graphs is fully standalone. ItÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s designed for people who want excellent social previews without installing a full SEO suite.
-
I already have Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO. Will this conflict?

No. The plugin auto-detects the major SEO plugins and yields the front end to them so you never get duplicate Open Graph tags. You can still use the per-post Social Preview metabox to override their values, and run the Tools Import to copy your existing social metadata in.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
No. There is zero JavaScript and zero CSS loaded on the front end. The output is a small static block of
<meta>tags inside<head>Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – typically under 1 KB. Resolved data is cached via the object cache when available. -
