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!

Someone who helps us in his free time!
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!
