== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does SEO Rank Hunter replace full SEO tools? =
The plugin handles automated on-page tasks and performance improvements. You can use it alongside larger SEO plugins but avoid enabling similar features in multiple plugins to prevent duplication.

= Will it conflict with caching plugins? =
SEO Rank Hunter works smoothly with most caching solutions. If you notice double-minification or layout issues, disable minification in either plugin.

= Does it modify my actual posts or database? =
No. All optimization runs at output level. When you deactivate the plugin, your site returns to its normal state.

= Does it add structured data? =
Yes. Version 1.1.0 adds JSON-LD structured data and breadcrumb schema when General SEO is enabled.
