Remove Schema Microdata and RDFa from the webpage for better Google Rich Results using Schema JSON-LD markup.

== Description ==

<p><strong>Is Google Search reporting invalid Schema markup from your theme templates?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Do you need to remove old <em>Microdata</em> and <em>RDFa</em> markup from your theme templates?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Do you need to remove duplicate social or SEO meta tags from your webpage?</strong></p>

<!-- about -->

By default, the WPSSO Strip Schema Microdata (WPSSO SSM) add-on can remove old Schema Microdata and RDFa markup from the webpage. The settings page also allows for the optional removal of duplicate / conflicting Schema markup and meta tags from the webpage head or body sections.

WPSSO SSM filters the webpage *dynamically*, allowing you to activate or deactivate the add-on to enable or disable the removal of old Schema Microdata, RDFa, and duplicate meta tags. The WPSSO SSM webpage filter is *very* fast - generally running in under 0.003 seconds.
