== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is schema markup? =

Schema markup is a special type of structured data that helps search engines understand the content of your website more clearly. Instead of only reading plain text, search engines like Google can identify specific information such as articles, products, reviews, FAQs, events, and more.

When schema markup is added correctly, search engines may display enhanced search results called rich results. These can include extra details like star ratings, FAQ dropdowns, product prices, or article information. Rich results can make your page more noticeable in search results and may increase the chance that users click on your website.

This plugin allows you to add custom JSON-LD schema markup to any post or page so search engines can better interpret your content.

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

Basic knowledge of schema markup can be helpful, but it is not required. The plugin simply provides a place where you can add your schema in JSON-LD format, which is the format recommended by Google.

If you already have schema generated from tools such as Google’s Structured Data Markup Helper or other schema generators, you can copy the JSON-LD code and paste it into the schema box provided by the plugin.

Advanced users and developers may prefer this approach because it gives full control over the schema structure without being limited by preset schema templates.

= Does this plugin slow down my website? =

No. The plugin is designed to be lightweight and does not add unnecessary scripts, styles, or database queries to your website.

It simply inserts the JSON-LD schema markup into the page output when the page loads. Since JSON-LD is just structured data placed inside a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag, it has no visual impact and minimal performance overhead.

Because of this simple approach, the plugin should not affect your page speed or website performance.

= Is it compatible with Rank Math, Yoast SEO, or other SEO plugins? =

Yes. The plugin is designed to work alongside popular SEO plugins such as Rank Math, Yoast SEO, and other SEO tools.

In many cases, SEO plugins automatically generate schema markup based on your content. However, sometimes users need to add custom schema that those plugins do not support.

This plugin allows you to insert your own JSON-LD schema and, when necessary, override schema generated by other plugins. This gives developers and SEO professionals more flexibility when implementing structured data strategies.

= Can I add schema to any post or page? =

Yes. The plugin allows you to add custom JSON-LD schema to individual posts or pages directly from the WordPress editor. This makes it easy to apply structured data only where it is needed instead of affecting the entire website.

= How can I check if my schema is working? =

After adding schema to your page, you can verify it using tools such as Google Rich Results Test or other structured data testing tools. These tools will show whether your schema markup is detected and if there are any errors or warnings.

Testing your schema helps ensure that search engines can properly read and interpret the structured data you added.

= How do I view the custom schema markup? =
Schema markup is for search engines and not displayed to visitors. To see it:
- Press `Ctrl + U` (View Page Source) on your post or page  
- Press `Ctrl + F` and search for "schema" or "ld+json" to find the script

= How can I generate custom schema markup? =  
Use free online tools like:  
- [TechnicalSEO.com](https://technicalseo.com/tools/schema-markup-generator/)  
- [Schema Markup Generator by Merkle](https://technicalseo.com/tools/schema-markup-generator/)  

= How do I validate my schema markup? =  
Use these tools to test your schema:  
- [Google Rich Results Test](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results)  
- [Schema.org Validator](https://validator.schema.org/)  

= Is BBH Custom Schema responsive? =  
Yes, the plugin is fully responsive and works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
