No. SleekRank does not write definitions or generate any lexicographic content. You provide the lexicon as a JSON file, CSV, or REST endpoint, and SleekRank renders one page per entry. Definition writing, sense disambiguation, and example selection all stay with your lexicographers. SleekRank's role is purely the rendering and routing layer.

Yes. The data source is read once per cacheDuration window, then in-memory rendering handles per-request lookups. Even lexicons of tens of thousands of headwords render quickly because each page only needs its own row, not the full dataset. Set cacheDuration high (lexicons change slowly) and indexing performance stays steady.

Use a list mapping against the definitions array column. Each definition becomes a list item on the rendered page, with consistent typography across the entire lexicon. If your data has nested sense structures (sense 1a, 1b, 2), keep them as nested arrays and render through a template partial that handles the indentation, while the list mapping fills the outer container.

Yes. Any column or property in your data becomes available as a tag or selector mapping. For audio, store an audio URL per entry and either render it as an HTML5

Edit the source file (JSON, CSV, or upstream lexicon database), clear the SleekRank cache, and the next request rebuilds the page with the new data. For high-frequency editorial cycles, set cacheDuration low; for stable lexicons, set it to several hours so traffic does not constantly fetch the source. Bulk corrections land everywhere on a single cache clear.

Yes. Each entry is a routable WordPress URL included in the sitemap and suitable for indexing. The base template is excluded automatically so the scaffolding does not compete with real entries. Standard SEO plugins still handle canonicalization and per-page meta, and the URL pattern can be changed (with redirects) if you decide /dictionary/{slug}/ should become /word/{slug}/ later.

Use disambiguating slugs (bear-noun, bear-verb) so each sense has its own URL. Either keep them as separate rows in the lexicon or expand a single row into multiple rendered pages via a preprocessing step. The simpler approach is one row per sense; the more compact approach is one row per headword with a senses array, rendered as nested sections on a single page.

Yes. Add etymology and origin columns and map them into selector slots on the base page. Lexicographers maintain them in the source export; SleekRank just renders what is provided. For richer structured display (e.g. timeline of usage), keep the etymology as structured data and render through a template partial that handles the visualization, with the partial reading from SleekRank's mapped values.
