Another CakePHP SEO Plugin? Why?

During the years I've come across a few CakePHP SEO plugins that served as amazing drop-in solutions for MVP apps. However, they all seemed to focus on one or two parts of SEO and not a complete solution nor advanced features.

This plugin aims at being a solution for all things SEO from meta-tags to Sitemaps while also being a drop-in solution.

It offers:

• Component - for fetching stored metadata
• ViewHelper - for rendering metadata
• Behavior - for adding templated metadata as a fallback
• Command - for back filling metadata for already existing entities
• ChatGPT suggestions to auto-generate metadata
• Storage of metadata associated with any Entity
• Configurable
