== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What does "Lite" mean? =

Lite refers to a lightweight, focused feature set — not a limited trial or upsell placeholder. TNCWeb SEO Lite is a complete plugin for core on-page SEO and internal linking.

= Does this replace Yoast SEO or Rank Math? =

TNCWeb SEO Lite covers core on-page SEO needs. If another SEO plugin is active, deactivate it to avoid duplicate meta tags and schema output.

= How does internal linking work? =

Configure keywords and context on a page you want other content to link to. When another page contains those keywords inside matching context, TNCWeb SEO Lite inserts a link to that page's permalink. The configured page never links to itself.

= Can developers extend the output? =

Yes. Filters include `simple_seo_post_types`, `simple_seo_breadcrumb_title`, and `simple_seo_schema`.
