SEO is something that every website with a blog has heard about. The importance of good SEO for your site is well known. Because WordPress is extremely well-coded, many consider it SEO-friendly. Below are some of the best WordPress SEO plugins you can use this year.
YOAST SEO
Unlike most plugins, this one does much more than add meta tags. Our posts, pages, and taxonomies can be customized by adding custom post titles, meta descriptions, and meta keywords. It shows you a preview of how your meta information will appear in Google search results when you are writing the meta information. A verified Google authorship can even be obtained for your site with this tool.
GOOGLE XML SITEMAPS
Google uses bots to crawl the web and find new pages and sites. Based on how your site is structured, bots might not be able to put together a complete picture of your site like humans do. A page on your website may not be indexed by Google if it cannot be reached from your homepage in a certain number of clicks or is not linked to from any other page. Whenever your sitemap is updated, the Google XML Sitemaps plugin will notify Google and other major search engines so they can index your newly added pages. Sitemap plugins do not guarantee higher search engine rankings, but they can help your site be indexed by Google and other search engines properly.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS BY MONSTERINSIGHTS
You can use MonsterInsights to connect your WordPress website to Google Analytics, so you can see how visitors find and use your website. In terms of tracking settings and workflows, MonsterInsights is the easiest Google Analytics plugin for beginners.
W3 TOTAL CACHE
The caching part is handled by W3 Total Cache. You can speed up your site by serving static files instead of dynamically generated content by caching. Your web server does less work, so your content can be served up faster. Rather than downloading static files from your far-away web server, visitors can download static files from the data center nearest to them. It reduces download times and speeds up your website as a result.
ALL IN ONE WP SECURITY & FIREWALL
In addition to providing the latest recommended WordPress security practices and techniques, this plugin also offers easy-to-use features. With the user in mind, it is designed and written by experts. Using good firewall rules doesn’t require you to know complex access rules. Additionally, All In One WP Security and Firewall uses an unprecedented security points grading system to determine how well you are protecting your site.
