This is such an easy page to write. Without an SEO Plug-in, you are going nowhere. Search Engine Optimization is crucial for your website so that Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc notice your site and, in time, rank it. When you Google or Bing "Best SEO Plug-Ins for WordPress" there are really only two that rate - All-In-One SEO and Yoast SEO.

So the next debate begins - which one of these two. Go and search that on Wealthy Affiliate and watch the polarisation that takes place! There are two distinct camps which tells us that these are the only ones to consider and you need to try both, giving each a number of months to work and bed in. Each have their unique features and after the first four or five months on All-In-One, I switched and have stayed with Yoast SEO. It has blogging features that I like and so it is useful for my activity. You may develop a different view.


Which ever one you use, make sure that you have it set up properly so that you gain the maximum benefits from it.

Next we discuss Social Media Plug-Ins...

Interesting, I would not be happy reducing my plugins to 5, but less than 20 should suffice.

I agree, Bob. I have 11 plugins in operation at present on my site and I can't think how to reduce them. I am happy with my site's page speed, although it could be a touch quicker at times. The plugins I use are the essential ones in my mind.
