WordPress seo plugins are indispensable helpers for our sites. From this article, I will introduce what are the best seo plugins. It may take some time to find the best add-ons from this bottomless pit of add-ons archive, so I wrote this article that I think can help you.

I have listed the most useful seo plugins in my opinion, in a mixed way, without ranking. I have briefly commented or explained about each of them. Let’s start our list then;

WordPress Seo by Yoast

This is a plugin that I have used on this site. It is one of the most useful plugins among SEO plugins. Because with the Yoast Seo plugin, many seo settings of a site can be made. If we talk briefly about what can be done with this plugin; You can enter the titles and descriptions of your posts, pages, categories, create a sitemap, check your site’s robots.txt and .htaccess files, make detailed changes to your permalink settings, and integrate your site with social accounts.

All in One Seo Pack

All in one seo plugin and Yoast Seo plugin have always been compared. Since all in one seo has been out before or even a long time ago, I think those who defend it are usually former bloggers or site owners. In my opinion, the best SEO plugin is the one that makes the most sense of a Seoist. For some reason (yoast seo is more elegant), I chose Yoast Seo when I started my site work and I never used All in One Seo. I have uploaded it once, but I have not uploaded it, wrote an article, made adjustments to the article and promoted it to the first place.

Whatever features Yoast Seo has, we can say that All in One Seo almost has it. Choose one of these two plugins or one of the plugins below and you’re on your way.

Seo Ultimate

It was an add-on that I came across much after the above two, the Seo Ultimate add-on. I have not used the plugin fully, but when I do, it is a plugin that deserves a separate article. The extraordinary feature that caught my eye (apart from the ordinary seo plugin) was: Rich Snippets section. For detailed usage, either download it from the link below and try it or wait for me to write the article 🙂

Seo Friendly Images

Seo friendly images plugin, on the other hand, is a plugin that allows you to automatically add title and alt tags to the images you upload to your site. It has an important place among SEO plugins. You can refer to this article where I explained the Seo Friendly Images plugin.

Previous Post Link Plugin

With the previous article link add-on, you can automatically link to the previous article you have published, from the article name in a sentence. An important add-on for the intra-site link network. It is more beneficial if it is done manually, but it does not pose a problem if it is automatic.

Broken Link Reporter Plugin

This plugin scans all the links on your site and finds which ones are broken and shows you. For my more detailed article about the broken link reporter plugin, you can refer to this article.

WordPress Scribe

I guess it is an important plugin since I put a picture 🙂 With the WordPress Scribe plugin, you can check your in-text seo status, compare the keywords suggested to you, and at the end of this, you can present articles with very good seo compatibility to your visitors. I remind you that it works integrated with plugins such as Yoast or All in One and I recommend you give it a try.

Google XML Sitemaps

If you are using Yoast Seo, it is not necessary, but if you want, you can turn off the sitemap feature and use this basic seo plugin. Sitemaps plugins have a very important place among the best seo plugins. There is no need to explain much anyway, you can use it to create your sitemap, which you absolutely need for your site.

Yet Another Related Posts Plugin – YARPP

If your site does not have a code in the style of similar articles and you do not want to deal with the code, you can use this plugin. The fact that a visitor goes from one article to another, that is, increasing your multiple hits will benefit you a lot in terms of SEO. There are a lot of plugins like Yet another related posts plugin, I will compile them and write an article soon.

Seo Auto Links

seo-auto-links-eklentisi

With the Seo Auto Links plugin, you can automatically link to any keyword or normal word on your pages, posts and comments. Even though it doesn’t work for everyone, I took it among the best because I thought it would be useful for some people, because I liked the plugin a lot.

Redirection

With the Redirection plugin, you can make 301 redirects between your pages and check your pages with 404 errors. It is a plugin that can be used for site migration, but I would like to remind you that with Yoast Seo, you can 301 a post to another post or a category to another url.

WordPress CloudFlare

wordpress-cloudflare-eklentisi

I can say that I have just found this plugin, I am using cloudflare from their site normally, not as a plugin. I also recommend it to you, I think it is a very solid system. Cloudflare is a good alternative instead of dealing with cache plugins. I saw on the plugin page that everyone who uses cloudflare says to use it etc, but it is necessary to see how necessary it is. Thought I’d share in case you don’t know.

You can access the WordPress Plugin Archive, which I used as a “bottomless pit” at the beginning of the article, here.
