## Description

**Schema & Structured Data Suite: Rich Snippets Made Simple** helps you add powerful,
standards-compliant schema markup and structured data (JSON-LD) to your WordPress
site without relying on bloated SEO plugins or external tracking services.

This plugin is part of the **CC Plugins** family of privacy-focused WordPress tools
from Caterham Computing. It was formerly known as **CC Schema & Structured Data 
Toolkit**.

Designed with performance, privacy and flexibility in mind, this plugin lets you
control exactly what schema is output on each page — while keeping your site lightweight
and compliant.

Unlike many alternatives, this plugin:
 – does **not track users** – does **not 
rely on third-party APIs** – does **not inject unnecessary scripts**

Everything runs locally and cleanly.

## FAQ

### What is structured data?

Structured data helps search engines understand your content better by providing
additional context using schema.org standards.

### Does this plugin guarantee rich results in search engines?

No. Structured data makes your content eligible for enhanced results, but search
engines decide whether to display them.

### Do I need coding knowledge to use this plugin?

No. You can add and manage schema using the Gutenberg sidebar and settings page.

### Does this plugin work with page builders?

Yes. It works with content created in Gutenberg and can detect FAQ patterns from
common block-based builders.

### Will this slow down my site?

No. The plugin is lightweight and does not load unnecessary scripts or external 
resources.

### Can I use this alongside another SEO plugin?

Yes, but avoid enabling duplicate schema types to prevent conflicts. The plugin 
will warn you if potential conflicts are detected.
