SEO Lite is meant to be that: lite. In under 80 lines of code on the frontend, SEO Lite adds the following tags:

  • og:locale – Uses get_locale()
  • og:site_name – Uses get_bloginfo(‘name’)
  • og:title – Uses wp_get_document_title()
  • og:description (trimmed to 200 chars) – Uses get_bloginfo(‘description’) on the front page, get_the_excerpt() for posts/pages, and get_the_archive_description() if availble on archive pages
  • og:url – URL of page
  • og:type – Uses ‘article’ on posts/pages and ‘website’ everywhere else
  • article:published_time – Uses get_the_date(‘c’) on posts/pages
  • article:modified_time – Uses get_the_modified_date(‘c’) on posts/pages
  • og:image – Uses featured image on posts/pages and the site icon on the front page
  • og:image:{type/width/height/alt} – Added if we have an ‘og:image’ (only adds ‘alt’ if availble)

Additionally, SEO Lite has a settings page (Dashboard > Settings > SEO Lite) where you can add custom tags for all pages (ie, google analytics, AdSense, etc).
