    WordPress SEO plugins can help you to master on-page SEO tasks like titles, meta tags, and other content optimization-related things.
    These plugins are also useful for technical SEO tasks like page speed optimization, redirects, canonicals, and hreflang.
    However, run a search for “SEO” in the WordPress plugins directory, and you will get nearly a thousand SEO plugins to choose from.
    You don’t need that many to make your website “SEO-friendly.” In this video, you’ll learn which WordPress plugins you should choose for your website.
    The first plugin Sam recommends is not what you’ll expect. Plenty of people are familiar with Yoast. But in Sam’s opinion, this plugin is better than Yoast.
    With this plugin, you can:
    1. Preview the SERPS and edit rich snippets
    2. Add structured data
    3. Quickly add nofollow tags to links
    4. Generate sitemaps
    After you’re done with the basic setup for this plugin, you can take a look at plugins for improving page speed.
    Now, page speed is important because:
    a) it is a ranking factor
    b) It affects the user experience
    We’ll show you which plugins you can use to help reduce page speed.
    Finally, user experience. You’ll find out which plugin helps improve and optimize the UX of your content.
    WordPress plugins are pretty awesome because it allows you to do complex things without any coding.
    In fact, we’re creating our own free WordPress SEO plugin. So if you want to be updated when it’s released, sign up for updates at ahrefs.com/wordpress-seo-plugin

    Excellent video Sam! I am using free version Cloudflare and do I still need to install extra plugin like W3 total cache? What is the max numbers of plugins we can have without burdening our site? Is it recommended to switch from yoast to rank math for established site? Tq

    • @AhrefsCom
      @AhrefsCom  4 роки тому +1

      Not sure on integrating Cloudflare with W3 Total Cache. Best to search through WordPress forums or to reach out to the devs there.
      As for "max number of plugins," I wouldn't say there's a set number. In my opinion, it's more what the plugins do and how much load or if they're incompatible with one another or your theme. I personally don't keep track by "number of plugins."

    So you're using 2 plugins for images (lazy load & compression) have you ever used tools like WP Smush Pro which gives you both those options in one plugin? We use these on our client sites, but wondering if you've tried them and seen a better result from the 2 separate plugins?

    Also, personally I recommend using a large font size for a T.O.C. as remember that most of your traffic is on mobile!

    It causes addiction to watching Ahrefs videos. There are a few more tools in my base )) Right now I need to ask my content manager to test new staff. On-page SEO is really important. Websites lose 20% of their conversions for each loading second. Amazon invests a lot to improve site speed and have today over 40% of all hosting resources in the US. The second is Microsoft, the third is Google. Big brands know about the importance of UX and how just simple loading kills conversions.

    And being on top 5 is generating some revenue for me but now some good authority sites upranked me and now i'm on 11th position peoples are not visiting 2nd page of google thats why im not generating any revenue. So. What can i do to make it in top 5??

    • @AhrefsCom
      @AhrefsCom  4 роки тому +2

      I recommend to analyze top 5 websites. What is an angle of content they offer? Do they offer more than you do? What are other keywords they rank for while you do not? And finally compare the backlink profile strength. You probably want to build some backlinks directly to that page that ranks for the target keyword. Some extra internal links from other pages on your site might be useful as well. Hope that helps.

      I've only used WP Rocket on one site and I actually had it running simultaneously with W3 Total Cache with some tweaked settings.
