Conor Treacy
I have been working with websites since the late 1990s; building them, hosting them, optimizing them, designing them, and troubleshooting them.
Today, most of my client work runs through Big Red SEO, where I work between SEO, WordPress and WooCommerce, website design, analytics, and the technical side of making websites perform properly.

What I actually do
A lot of my day-to-day work is SEO.
That includes technical SEO, local SEO, crawling and indexing problems, site structure, migrations, analytics, structured data, content issues, and figuring out why a website is not performing the way somebody expected it to.
I also spend a lot of time working in WordPress and WooCommerce. That matters because SEO problems do not always stay neatly inside the SEO box. Sometimes the problem is a plugin, a theme, bad markup, JavaScript, redirects, database issues, or something else happening underneath the page.
Design is part of the work too. I am not a branding guy or an illustrator, but I care about layout, hierarchy, usability, accessibility and whether a page actually makes sense to the person using it.
Most of the time, the work overlaps. SEO affects development. Development affects SEO. Design affects both.
Most of my client work runs through Big Red SEO with my wife Kimberly. This site is where I keep the plugins, code, notes, experiments and other work I can talk about publicly.
Code & Plugins you can read
Most SEO, consulting, and client work is not something I can put into a public portfolio.
What I can show is some of the WordPress plugins and code I have written and published. They are free, GPL licensed, and available on GitHub for anyone who wants to look through them.
WooCommerce Shipping Debug Display
Shows WooCommerce shipping debug information on the cart, so you can see why a shipping method is not appearing.
Elementor Preview Sizes
Sets more useful default preview widths inside the Elementor editor without changing anything on the front end.
Rank Math Modified Date Lock
Turns on Rank Math’s Lock Modified Date option by default in the block editor, so fixing a typo stops resetting your published dates.
GA4 and GTM Tracking
GA4 and Google Tag Manager for WordPress, with content grouping, engagement tracking, and WooCommerce ecommerce events.
Auto Apply Coupon for WooCommerce
Automatically applies a WooCommerce coupon during a date and time window you define, with an admin settings page and a custom success message.
WooCommerce Order Attribution Guard
Enforces WooCommerce Order Attribution during checkout, blocks orders that bypass it via the Store API, and logs every pass and fail.
Code notes
Small fixes, code snippets, and technical references from day-to-day development work.
Display an ACF Field in a Custom Elementor Widget
Sometimes Elementor almost does what you need. You have a field in Advanced Custom Fields, the data is already attached to the post, and all you want is a small widget that prints it…
Screaming Frog: Extract Published and Modified Dates (Meta Tags or Rank Math JSON-LD)
Screaming Frog XPath extractors for published and modified dates from Rank Math, Yoast, or Open Graph markup.
Add Shipping Details to Schema Markup in RankMath Pro
Add WooCommerce shipping details to Rank Math Pro product schema based on a product shipping class.
Prevent Searching For Specific Phrase
A short WordPress pre_get_posts example for intercepting exact search phrases before the search query runs.
Get first item or last item in an array
A PHP example using reset() and end() to identify the first and last values while looping through an array.
Change Date Format for Elementor Date Picker
Change the displayed Elementor date-picker format with a small front-end Flatpickr customization.
