I have been using Yoast, and was wondering if something else may be better.

In 2023 I updated my website - it was on elementor and I didn't like it - but with that website the SEO was AIO. I had good rankings usually up around 1 - 3.

When I changed I used the default one SEO Framework, my website fell off a cliff. Much of that probably due to a few co-incidences at the time - Google Helpful Update; Website treated as new and few other things.

Recently, I moved to RankMath - using the free version and website ranking is improving slowly but surely. I am not overly fond of RankMath, I seem to have a conflict on my website, but it seems to be helping.

I have clients who swear by Yoast and wouldn't dream of using anything else.

My advice would be to use what you think is best for you and your website.

what do you want out of an seo plugin ....
if it is jsut to be able to add meta data then any of them will do ....
almost all of them now have an ai part trying tohelp you...
but this is to what they have 'trainied' the ai bot to do...and you have no control or knowledge of what that is...
if you are happy with yoast then stick with it...
or if you are starting a new site then try another one - but you will always compare it with yoast and be saying ' yoast could do this easily' and other bits will be ' that was easier than yoast'
is there better- it depends on what you want...

Choosing the best is subjective. There'll always be people who think one is better than the other. To each their own. Read this I've been using the All In One SEO since forever. I have no problem with it so far. I agree with Andre.

I have tried others here and prefer Rankmath the most.

Just remember that SEO plugins are only guides to work with and not to depend entirely on them, regardless of which one to use.
Always focus on giving value to your readers and not focus on Search Engines with SEO plugins.

Thanks, I have had a website for years that's doing well with Yoast. I just started a second site and it came with SEO Framework installed. Was just wondering if it's better.

Yes AIO was the original choice that WA used which I liked as well.
However with the constant messages AIO gave to update or buy this or that added plugin which weren't really needed they changed to SEO framework.

Personally I didn't like SEO framework and enjoyed AIO more but changed to Rankmath to give it a go and enjoyed that more.

As Meina stated it is subjective.

Each to their own and if you are already enjoying Yoast and it is of benefit to you then stick with it.

I have heard many love Yoast and every SEO plugin will have their cons and pros depending on the individual using it.

So go with what works for you and you can always change it if you don't like a different plugin.

I just ran a test and it said my text is to small for mobile. I am currently useing size 14 text.

My theme default text size is 16 px and it is mobile friendly. I hope it helps.

Thanks for your reply. My theme default is 12. Is there a way to change this?

Here is training by MarionBlack about changing font size sitewide using custom CSS. Hope this helps,

Belden

Thanks for that link, it helped!

It looks like the theme you use has an effect.

With that in mind, I have tested that 16 is the minimum but most of the time I would say 17-20.
It could be wise to start in 16 and one point higher each time if needed.

Thanks for replying. What do you mean by effect?

I have seen there is a difference in the size after which theme you use. Not big but enough.

Yes 14 is too small, use minimum 17, I always use 20

Thanks for the help!

Yes. For reading content on a mobile device, I'd go with 17 or 20 for font size. It will be easier if it's seen on a smaller device.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

-Eric

Thanks for the help. I'm going to start changing it all now.

Hi, I would try changing your text to size 17. It seems to be a good size for mobile and desktop. You could go bigger if you wish, but 17 seems to be the standard.

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to have to change all my posts, yuk!

Hi, some themes allow you to change your font size easily sitewide by selecting typography, under appearance settings.

However, if your theme doesn’t have that option you can easily add custom CSS to change your font sitewide.

Follow the training link from Marion Black that Belsen has left you down below. It is really easy to do.

Good luck.

Hi, Cathy, are you trying to make the bullet point larger than the text, or just increase the size of both?

If you use the Visual Editor you can increase the size, but this will make the bullet point and text the same size.

If you want the bullet point larger than the text then you would need to use the Custom HTML block and CSS.

If you're not sure how to do either, let me know and I'll help if I can. Best wishes.

Great question.
I went into a word document
entered my writing
Changed the size to 16
Copied and pasted to the block

It worked.

Must be an easier way but that is a fix for today

Thanks for the help. I guess I will need to do the same.
