Description

LabVaxe is a lightweight, modular platform plugin. It adds a LabVaxe menu in wp-admin where you can enable/disable modules independently.
After activation, all modules are disabled by default until you enable them in LabVaxe.

Included modules:

SEO & Head Studio

A “no-bloat” head manager with global settings + per-page overrides:
* Document title override (via WordPress title filters).
* Meta description, canonical, robots meta.
* Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:locale, etc.).
* Twitter Cards tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image, etc.).
* Identity / web-app tags: favicon links, Apple touch icon, manifest URL, theme-color.
* Per-post metabox on all public post types (except attachments):
– SEO title / description / canonical override
– Robots mode override (default / index,follow / noindex,follow / noindex,nofollow)
– OG/Twitter overrides
– Per-page custom JSON-LD (application/ld+json)

Optional extras:
* Hreflang output from a simple language map.
* Tracking toggles (opt-in):
– Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
– Google Tag Manager (GTM)
– Meta Pixel
* Optional GTM/Meta Pixel noscript body output (with automatic wp_footer fallback when themes do not call wp_body_open).

Head Cleaner

Performance-focused cleanup for head output and certain core assets:
* Disable emoji detection scripts/styles.
* Disable feed links, REST discovery links, oEmbed discovery links.
* Disable RSD link, shortlink, wp_generator meta.
* Optional removal of core rel=canonical output (use with care).
* Optional removal of the core “skip to content” link (accessibility impact—use only if your theme replaces it).
* Optional cleanup of inline block CSS handles (may affect block styling—use only with a custom theme).
* Optional disable of WordPress wp_img_tag_add_auto_sizes behavior (can reduce responsive image optimization quality).

Important: Head Cleaner is intentionally “sharp”. If you disable something your theme/site relies on, you can break UX, styling, embeds, feeds, accessibility, or SEO. Enable only what you understand.

External Services

LabVaxe itself stores only plugin settings (wp_options) and per-post metadata (postmeta) that you enter in wp-admin.

However, the “SEO & Head Studio” module can load external services if you explicitly enable them. All tracking options are disabled by default.
A tracker is output only when:
* “Enable tracking (global)” is enabled
* the specific tracker is enabled (GA4/GTM/Meta Pixel)
* the tracker ID is set

When enabled, the plugin may load scripts/iframes from these services:

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

  • Loaded from:
    • https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js
    • https://www.google-analytics.com/
  • What may be sent:
    • page URL, referrer, device/browser info, events you configure, cookies/identifiers set by Google.
  • Provider policies:
    • Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google Tag Manager (GTM)

  • Loaded from:
    • https://www.googletagmanager.com/
    • https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html (optional noscript iframe when enabled)
  • What may be sent:
    • depends on your GTM container configuration (can include page URL, events, cookies, etc.).
  • Provider policies:
    • Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Meta Pixel

  • Loaded from:
    • https://connect.facebook.net/
    • https://www.facebook.com/
    • https://www.facebook.com/tr (optional noscript image request)
  • What may be sent:
    • page URL, referrer, device/browser info, events you configure, cookies/identifiers set by Meta.
  • Provider policies:
    • Meta Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/

You control whether these services load by toggles in:
wp-admin LabVaxe SEO & Head Studio Tracking.

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ (or install via ZIP).
  2. Activate “LabVaxe”.
  3. Go to wp-admin LabVaxe.
  4. In LabVaxe Modules, enable only the modules you need.
  5. Configure each enabled module in its submenu page.
  1. Modules screen with enable/disable controls.

Does LabVaxe replace Yoast/RankMath/etc.?

Not by default. LabVaxe is meant for lean setups where you control output. You can use it instead of a large SEO suite if you only need head tags + per-page overrides + JSON-LD.

Will this conflict with other SEO plugins?

It can if multiple plugins output the same tags (title, canonical, OG, robots, etc.). Use one “source of truth” for head output.

I activated LabVaxe, but nothing changed. Why?

By design, modules are disabled by default. Open wp-admin LabVaxe and enable the module(s) you want to run.

How do I add JSON-LD to a specific page?

Edit the page/post LabVaxe metabox “Schema” tab:
1) enable JSON-LD for the page
2) paste valid JSON (without tags)

Can I enable tracking without IDs?

No. Tracking scripts are only output when:
* “Enable tracking (global)” is on
* the specific tracker is enabled (GA4/GTM/Meta Pixel)
* the corresponding ID is set

Does LabVaxe implement cookie consent?

No. If you enable tracking, you are responsible for consent banners and legal compliance in your country.
