# Version 4.2

## SEO Performance Polish

Version 4.2 helps search engines and social sites understand your IDX listings, and it makes listing pages and search widgets more dependable.

If you use Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, or The SEO Framework, each listing page now passes its address and MLS number as the title and its remarks as the description. Pages no longer show generic titles or duplicate tags. When a listing has no remarks, a short summary is created from its details. Listings with a hidden address show the property type and city instead of a blank street.

Search engines also get clearer signals. Closed and unavailable listings stay out of search results, while their links are still followed. Listings that have been removed tell search engines they are gone. Outdated listing URLs redirect to the current address. Listing pages send a Last-Modified header so search engines know when to recrawl.

Two optional Listing Detail settings are available, both off by default: schema.org structured data for richer search results, and using the listing address as the page's main heading. On the Search Results tab, a new setting keeps filtered search pages (for example a search limited to one city) out of search engines. That setting is on for new sites. Existing sites can turn it on if they want search engines to focus on listing pages instead of every possible search combination. Search result links now use clean listing URLs.

Listing pages also load faster. The first photo appears right away instead of waiting to lazy-load, and the plugin no longer rebuilds WordPress permalinks on every page load. Marking a listing as a Favorite or No Interest no longer clears the site's IDX cache, so the next visitors are not forced to wait on a cold start.

The IDX Search widget is more resilient. It handles unexpected URL and location values more safely, unused files were removed from the plugin package, and a widget that cannot load now shows "This widget is temporarily unavailable" instead of interrupting the rest of the page. Flexmls blocks also render in a single request, so they continue to appear on sites where a firewall or password protection was blocking the previous extra request.
