## Beskrivelse

One of the most common SEO problems on WordPress sites is that people add too many
tags to posts. In fact, [our research shows](https://fewertags.com/research/) that
_most_ WordPress sites use tags wrong. The WordPress interface makes it incredibly
easy to do so, and with every tag you add, you add another URL to your site for 
search engines to crawl and index. This plugin minimizes that effect by setting 
a minimum number of posts needed for a tag to be “live” on your site.

Fewer Tags Free solves this problem for you! It does that by simply not showing 
tags that have less than 10 posts in them to users and search engines.

Tags that have less than the configured number of posts:

 * Are hidden from visitors and search engines on your site, and are redirected 
   to your homepage.
 * They don’t show up in tag listings.
 * The are no longer linked in WordPress core’s or Yoast SEO or Slim SEO generated
   XML sitemaps.

This positively affects your site’s SEO and also leads to less crawling, as you 
have less useless tag pages.

See [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KItn1X1qMas) if you want to learn
how to use Fewer Tags Free.

If you want to _truly_ solve the tag problem on your site, consider the [Fewer Tags Pro plugin & course](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkF3Y6iIoDk).
It’ll help you fix the problems with tags on your site very quickly.

You can buy Fewer Tags Pro (or read more about it) on [fewertags.com](https://fewertags.com/)!

## Installation

 1. Search for Fewer Tags on the repository.

    the default is 10).
 4. You’re done.

## FAQ

### Can I safely install this on an existing site?

So you have a site with a lot of tags that don’t add any value? Yes, you can safely
add this plugin. It will redirect the useless tag pages to your site’s homepage.

### Should I also noindex my tag pages?

No, you should not noindex your tag pages. If your tag pages have more than 10 posts
in them, they are valuable ways of getting your site crawled and of combining related
content. There’s no reason to noindex those pages at that point. What you could (
and should) do is add descriptions to those tag pages.

### How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program.
The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities.

### Can you help me get rid of those tags entirely?

Yes, that’s why we created [Fewer Tags Pro](https://fewertags.com/)!

I've been using the Fewer Tags plugin on several news sites, and it has been fantastic.
This plugin effectively excludes tags that are not important, keeping content well-
organized. It's essential for news sites with many articles, as it simplifies indexing
only the relevant tags. Additionally, the support team has been exceptional, providing
prompt and helpful response. Overall, Fewer Tags is a valuable tool for any website.
Highly recommended!

We can't thank Joost de Valk enough for his amazing new free plugin, "Fewer Tags
Free"! As a website owner, I'm beyond excited about this. Joost noticed that many
websites, including mine, were suffering from overlapping tags and multiple tags
linking to the same content, creating thin content pages with little value. In his
spare time, Joost crafted a brilliant solution just for us! His plugin works its
magic by hiding tags with fewer than 3 posts from both users and search engines.
This simple yet powerful fix boosts your site's SEO and reduces unnecessary crawling,
cutting down on those useless tag pages. It's a game-changer!
