Essential WordPress SEO Plugins for Bloggers (2023)
Here’s a quick guide to my favourite SEO plugins for WordPress bloggers:
- RankMath – SEO plugin. I use the Pro version to track more keywords. But free is fine too. (Faster than Yoast).
- WP Rocket – A cacheing plug in to pre-load your site to returning users. $50 a year ish.
