Simple SSL Redirects
If your site has an SSL certificate you might find that you can access the site via both SSL (https) and non-SSL (http) URLs. This is a bad idea for security, and for SEO, as it can look like duplicate content on different URLs. The answer to this is to redirect requests to non-SSL (http) URLs over to their SSL (https) equivalents using something called a 301 redirect. This tells the client (and search engines) that the resource they are looking for should always be accessed over SSL. This plugin offers two methods to achieve this: By intercepting WordPress pages at header time, and if they are not already being requested over HTTPS sending a 301 redirect header, or By adding mod_rewrite rules in the .htaccess file to redirect all requests to their HTTPS equivalents using 301 redirects. Optionally, this plugin can also set HSTS headers for you, and make sure that all requests use the same hostname (i.e. fixing the issue where many sites can be accessed using both www. and non-www. URLs).
Text Spinner
This tiny plugin allows you to use spintax like {phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3} in your posts, pages and theme files. Just enclose the content that you want to be processed in the shortcode [wpts_spin][/wpts_spin] and a unique copy will be generated on each page load. Alternatively, you can pass the spintax string to the function wpts_spin() and echo the returned value. The plugin can help you avoid duplicate content penalties. For instance if you have a sizable block of text that needs to appear throughout the website then you can write spintax for it and use the above-mentioned shortcode or template tag to generate unique copies. Nested spintax like {phrase 1|phrase 2|{sub-phrase 1|sub-phrase 2|sub-phrase 3}} is also supported by the plugin. Example 1: Shortcode: [wpts_spin]{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}[/wpts_spin] Function: Sample Output: phrase 1 phrase 2 phrase 3 Example 2 (Nested Spintax): Shortcode: [wpts_spin]{phrase 1|phrase 2|{sub-phrase 1|sub-phrase 2|sub-phrase 3}}[/wpts_spin] Function: Sample Output: phrase 1 sub-phrase 2 Example 3 (Caching): Shortcode: [wpts_spin cache="604800"]{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}[/wpts_spin] Function: '604800' ) ); ?> Sample Output: Same as Example 1 but the output will be cached for a week (604800 seconds).
