What we do and don’t do
All-in-one is an easy thing to say. This is the list you can hold us to.
How to read this. Each line is a job a WordPress site needs done. Green means MetaWrench does it. Amber means it does part of it and says which part. Red means it doesn’t, and you still need something else.

Robots.txtEditor with a safe default. Sitemap line kept in step automatically.
