## Description

Auto NoIndex for Thin Content helps improve SEO quality by automatically adding 
a noindex meta tag to posts or pages that do not meet a minimum content threshold.

Thin content can negatively affect search engine rankings. This plugin gives you
full control over content length rules.

Key Features:

 * Choose between “Character Count” or “Word Count”
 * Set minimum threshold for thin content detection
 * Apply rule to:
    - Posts only
    - Pages only
    - Entire website (Posts + Pages)
 * Automatically outputs:
 * Lightweight and performance-friendly
 * No external dependencies
 * Clean WordPress coding standards

### How It Works

 1. Select content type (Characters or Words)
 2. Define minimum count
 3. Choose where to apply (Post, Page, or All)
 4. If content is below threshold, plugin automatically adds noindex

No manual editing required.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin delete content?

No. It only adds a noindex meta tag. Your content remains unchanged.

### Is it compatible with SEO plugins?

Yes. It works independently. However, if another SEO plugin also controls robots
meta tags, behavior may depend on theme/plugin priority.

### Does it slow down my website?

No. The plugin runs a lightweight content check only on singular posts/pages.

### Can I use it on custom post types?

Currently it supports Post and Page. Custom Post Type support may be added in future
updates.
