## ⚡ Why VonSEOWP?

Most SEO plugins become increasingly heavy over time, trading performance for oversized dashboards, telemetry, and marketing layers. VonSEOWP rejects the bloat.

- **Zero-Waste Architecture**: No custom database tables. We use native `post_meta` and `wp_options` for maximum speed and compatibility.
- **Enterprise Heritage**: Built with the same performance DNA as VonCMS.
- **Privacy as a Feature**: No tracking. No telemetry. No "phoning home." Your data stays on your server.
- **Modern Standards Only**: We don't support legacy junk. Minimum **WordPress 6.0** and **PHP 7.4+** required.
