No — GFT provides lightweight title/description fields. If you need advanced sitemaps, schema, redirects, etc., use a dedicated SEO plugin alongside GFT.

Enter paths (one per line) under Force Login Allowlist, e.g.

GFT is theme-agnostic and works with Gutenberg and other popular builders like Elementor. The features are intentionally minimal and additive.
