Smart Archive Page Remove

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 90% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   As far as removing archive pages, it does exactly as described on the tin. Author, category, tag, daily, monthly and yearly archive pages can all be disabled independently of each other. You’ll have to make the appropriate modifications to your theme to avoid broken links, but that’s pretty much to be expected. It doesn’t remove those pages from the sitemap either (the one generated by vanilla WordPress). See Bence’s code snippet on the plugin’s forums (search for “sitemap”) if you want to achieve that.

   I was looking into reducing unneeded bloat on my sites (why index unneeded pages or posts like author archives?) and found this. Easy to use via the slider-style on/off switches and very simple to get up and going. Good stuff! 😀 Thanks!
