🧠 Boost Your Geeklog SEO with AI-Generated Meta Tags

Geeklog Automatically create meta descriptions, keywords, and SEO titles for your articles

In modern SEO, small details often make a big difference. Meta tags such as meta_description, meta_keywords, and page_title still play an essential role in how your content is displayed and understood by search engines. They directly influence how your stories appear in results, and therefore how often users click them.

I’ve recently built a simple, lightweight utility that helps Geeklog site administrators automatically generate these fields using OpenAI’s API. It works with any Geeklog 2.x site and doesn’t require additional plugins or modifications.

Plugins

We’re excited to announce the release of the Maintenance Plugin, a simple yet powerful way to place your Geeklog site into maintenance mode whenever you need to perform updates, upgrades, or testing.

When maintenance mode is enabled, regular visitors and non-administrative users see a customizable maintenance message instead of your website content. Root users, however, can continue accessing and managing the site normally — with a clear red alert banner reminding them that maintenance mode is active.
