I mean how much time do you have, OP? SEO plugins are mostly all bullshit, it’s a niche that’s been entirely invented to convince WordPress site owners to pay money for something that “magically fixes” their website traffic.
Researching a topic, carefully formatting an article, adding high quality photos and spell-checking my work?
Hell no! Just pay $129/year for this s****y bloated SEO plugin with fancy colors that tells me I need to add the phrase “miami breast augmentation” to my article 35x if I want to achieve the green light GURU LEVEL OPTIMIZATION
It’s a tie between Yoast and Rank Math for biggest scam, most bloated code, most fatal errors and ranking drops caused to websites, but Rank Math definitely edges out Yoast for worst place because they paid for thousands of fake 5-star reviews.
SEO plugins have a few useful features IMO. Like being able to customize the title on some pages which sometimes must be different from the default title. But I agree that most of the features are complete trash that confuses a lot of newbies, even worse than so many SEO plugins have a horrible security reputation.
FYI All In One SEO is now trying to disable other third party plugins like XML sitemap plugins if they are detected… time to delete that crap from your site too.
