All-in-one is better than Yoast

  • I want to tell you my story. i have installed the Yoast plugin on each of my website. Then, in google search console, I discovered that Googlebot tried to index URLs that didn’t exist. In fact, the problem was related to the Google custom search feature in Yoast. Yoast didn’t mention this feature was there and anyways I could not disable it. So, Yoast created what Google calls “thin content”. Pages with no useful content in it.
    Also Yoast redirected My author pages to the Root domain. I expected the plugin just to add a noindex. This also created a redirect on each of my webpage behind the displayed author name.

    When you use all in one, it only adds the minimum to your page. There is not a big bunch of JSON code in the middle of your code. The seettings page is simple. You can set all the all-in-one settings on one page. There is no hidden features that could impact the SEO of your website.

    It does not make sense to install a SEO plugin that would ruin your SEO.

    There is only one thing that all in one could remove: the rel prev and rel next tags in the HTML code as it is not used by Google anymore.

    The developer focuses on SEO and he does not try to add features that could ruin the plugins. It makes it a sustainable choice for your WordPress website.
