Want to switch.. but ..

    Am tired of switching SEO solutions, each time I do brings another set of headaches and patches and re-doing a lot of posts on my site as their schema set up breaks the one I already have for example. I certainly don’t want to lose the meta that I have already set up.

    So.. is this switch going to be painful? I tried Yoast, but it bloated my database and options table to slow things down. I tried AIOSEO and the same thing, plus it screwed up the canonicals. Currently using SEO Framework, it’s good but basic. I did try Squirrly a while ago on another site, and was impressed, but worried that it was also increasing size of options table massively. I’m keen to keep the speed of the site you see.

    Thoughts?

    Hi,

    Normally it shouldn’t be. Depends a lot on what you have inside your own WP and how everything is configured. Nobody could tell you for certain without an in-depth look.

    However, we’ve built many import options to make switching from Yoast to Squirrly SEO very easy:

    ^^ it’s a helpful guide where my team tried to walk through this step by step.

    Squirrly processes data on our Cloud Services, on the SaaS side of Squirrly SEO. Because of that, we don’t leave a large footprint like Yoast and the others, and our loading time is incredible:

    Squirrly is SaaS+plugin, so the heavy loading is done on our end, not on the user’s end. On the ^^ link you can see a live demo I made for a new WP site where I installed and configured Squirrly SEO, to check the speed.

    Thank you for asking. I hope these resources were helpful.

    Thank you kindly for your detailed and considered response, I can see that there is an import for SEO framework which helps alleviate some of my concerns. The only other is a potential clash for my many “how to” pages which are set up with a schema plugin.

    The resources were indeed helpful, and am very close to making the switch, gutted that I missed the appsumo deal, so will probably be on the free plan for a while.
