Plugin Auditor vs Smart SEO Booster

Have you ever had that situation where you have a bunch of plugins installed and you can’t remember why half of them are there? It is important to clean out unused plugins and keep your plugins up to date, but this can be difficult if you have forgotten why you installed them in the first place. This is particularly true for sites with multiple admin users, and for agencies that manage their clients sites. You don’t want to delete an old plugin without being 100% sure why it was installed and therefore know if it is still needed. The Plugin Auditor tells you why each plugin was installed and also keeps a record of who installed it so that you know who to ask if you have any questions when performing maintenance on the site. Plugin Auditor can be installed at any time but to get the most benefit from it, it should be installed as the first plugin that you install on any WordPress site that you manage.

Smart SEO Booster is a free WordPress SEO plugin built for AI search. It ships the GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) / AI SEO tools most SEO plugins still don’t have — an /llms.txt file that tells AI assistants what your site is about, one-click opt-out for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Google-Extended), and speakable structured data for voice assistants — on top of a complete, conventional SEO toolkit. That toolkit covers every ranking fundamental that actually moves the needle: schema markup (including FAQ and How-To rich results), XML sitemaps, meta tags, Open Graph & Twitter Cards, breadcrumbs, redirects, content scoring, and a Core Web Vitals report powered by Google PageSpeed Insights — without the bloat, paywalls, or upsell nags of the big-name SEO plugins. Every feature is free, forever. No “Pro” tier, no locked settings. It automates titles and meta descriptions, injects 14 types of JSON-LD schema, generates XML sitemaps, and shows you a live search/social preview with a real-time SEO score right inside the block editor. One-click import from Yoast SEO or Rank Math means switching takes minutes, not hours — and your existing SEO data is never overwritten.
