Having recently written some of the best SEO practices for 2013, it is time to take a look at some SEO plugins that can help us make our lives a bit easier when it comes to search engine optimization. Hands down, and to get started, one of the best choices to work with your blog or website, is by using the WordPress CMS platform. WordPress offers the flexibility and ease of use that I have yet to see beaten.
Why is WordPress Good for SEO?
WordPress is a great platform and takes care of about 80 – 90% of the mechanics of SEO according to Matt Cutts (Google Spam Chief). While this is true, it does not mean that you can’t improve it further and this is where the SEO plugins come into play. They help your site go that extra mile for those added “technical” optimizations.
Will these SEO plugins take me to #1?
SEO plugins for WordPress serve only to help you get about the “technical” stuff and help search engines better understand what your site is about. It also allows for semi-automation of certain tasks, which otherwise would be virtually impossible or difficult to perform. However, please be informed that making use of these plugins will NOT guarantee you TOP rankings. They will however help you achieve better placements on SERs (search engine results), in comparison to those who do not.
There are so many “information” out there that can steer you away from believing that there is an easy route to #1. This is not true. There are however some “quick SEO wins” that you can implement right now, to make things move a bit faster.
Finally, a quick reminder, WordPress plugins are great and makes our lives a lot easier, specially for the non tech savvy like me. I know it does help me a great deal, however, you should know that there is a downside to “over using” plugins, so you may want to use check your WordPress performance (recommended read) once in a while to avoid causing you some problems with speed loading issues and your web hosting.
So let’s go to it! This post is somewhat long (really long), so perhaps you may want to bookmark it, just in case.
The Best SEO Plugins For WordPress
There are many SEO plugins available out there (free and paid), and you should always do some research for more information. The ones that I will be recommending here are all from credible sources (credible developers and on the WP repository), 100% free and tested. I use them either here, on my other websites and clients sites.
So, let’s recap a bit what the best SEO practices dictates for on-page optimization (summarized version).
- Content Optimization (Titles, Descriptions, Alternate Tags)
- Page Speed (and uptime)
- Usability (UI and UX)
- Other (Schema – Microdata, Authorship, Social Engagement)
With that said, here are some plugins to address each of those situations mentioned above:
Content Optimization Plugins
WP SEO by Yoast – For the second consecutive year, this is my SEO plugin of choice. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, Joost de Valk (developer) created an all-in-one plugin that is simply fantastic. It addresses so many things that it will take me a whole post in its entirety, just to go through each of the features that this plugin offers. Really, this is not your ordinary plugin. Just see the features it offers, and you’ll know what I mean. Oh, did I mention that it is free!
In any event, this is one of the best reasons I recommend this plugin.
It helps you write better content
Using the snippet preview you can see a rendering of what your post or page will look like in the search results, whether your title is too long or too short and your meta description makes sense in the context of a search result. This way the plugin will help you not only increase rankings but also increase the click through for organic search results.
Before you install this plugin though, you should know that with so many features, comes the need to understand how it works and what each of the functionalities can do for you. Configure it wrong and unpleasant things may happen. I therefore highly recommend you going through the “The Definitive Guide To Higher Rankings For WordPress Sites” written by Joost. Everything you need to know on how to use the plugin is there.
All-In-One SEO (AIO) – While WP SEO is my new favorite, AIO is the one that I started using first and have been loyal to it for sites that I have it installed. The main difference between these two plugins is simplicity. I find AIO to be simpler to configure, in comparison to that of Yoast.
Don’t get me wrong, this is a very good plugin (downloaded over 13 million times and counting), and while simple is powerful (perhaps a better choice for the novice – you can later upgrade to WP SEO if you want). The only thing is that if you choose to go this route, I also recommend installing other plugins to complement with it (not needed on WP SEO). See below for more info.
Page Speed Plugins
Google and other search engines are obsessed with speed. A faster internet means better user experience. According to several reports that are widely available on the internet, user no longer have the patience to wait for a long time for a page to render. Mine you that long here means “seconds”, and any site that takes more than 10 seconds (that’s a lot already) to load is nearing the borderline of loosing traffic. These plugins and some more, will help you tame that “need for speed” issue. I highly recommend using some or a combination of them, specially if you are on a shared hosting environment. Go this way first before going to the expensive route. They really help a great deal.
WP Super Cache / W3Total Cache – These plugins are highly recommended as they reduce page speed load time by serving cached version of your files. Essentially, these plugins generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve those file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts. This improves the user experience (UX) of your site by increasing server performance, reducing the download times. Better UX, good for SEO.
Which one would you choose? Depends, test one or another and see for yourself. Some plugins can be incompatible with one or the other.
jsDelivr Free Public CDN – JsDelivr (sponsored by MaxCDN), is a web service for webmasters and developers. Almost none of the plugin developers allows direct linking to hosted versions of their plugins on their server because they cant handle such traffic. So the users always have to download the plugins and host them on their own servers.
What jsDelivr offers is the possibility to the developers to offer direct links for the files of their plugins without worrying about bandwidth and high server load, and to users the ability to offload their websites from the javascript/css/images that the plugins use, effectively making them a lot faster.
CloudFlare / Incapsula – These free CDN services are awesome, and the plugins ensures that your WordPress website runs optimally when using either one of those services. Make use of them if you are really having problems with your page speed loading time. If you are on a shared hosting environment, I highly recommend using them. Read more about CloudFlare and Incapsula, here and here. Here are some videos to see how to install Incapsula and CloudFlare.
WPSmush.it – A handy little plugin that compresses your images to make they are served faster. Good if your site is image heavy or if you use plenty of images. Nothing to do, just install and activate. If you already have lots of images, you may want to run the “bulk compress now” feature. It could take a long time though.
Web Hosting – Yeah, makes sense, does it not? What else can I say. If your site is “not available”, what will users see? If users don’t see it, most likely, search engine bots will not either, so there you have it.
User Experience (UI, UX, Mobile)
With the ever growing amount of users using their smartphones, mobile devices, etc., it is important to have now more than ever to ensure that your site is also compatible with these type of devices. Obviously, your site should be rendering well on different type of web browsers on desktop environment. But this section will deal with how to make your site mobile compatible.
There are some ways you can do that. Google recommends to Building Mobile-Optimized Websites, by using responsive web design. Another way is to make use of WordPress plugins that works as a “cross-platform” for your site.
UppSite – One of the best options for you to make your site mobile and deliver an outstanding user experience to your audience. More than a responsive theme, UppSite’s plugin seamlessly turns your existing WordPress site into an HTML5 app that acts as a mobile website on any mobile browser. It also let’s you publish native apps for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone on the respective app stores. You can install my Android app from Google Play.
You benefit from the comprehensive mobile reach UppSite provides, as well as from the native user experience the plugin delivers that is tailored to the mobile device used. This means easier navigation, faster page loading and better engagement with your content, which significantly improve the UX and translate into better SEO. What is great about UppSite is that it works with any theme.
Here’s some screenshots on how my site looks like on an iOS and Android device. Clean and perfectly navigable.
You keep operating your site as is and the plugin automatically takes care of all the rest. You can get started for free and upgrade your account if you want more features, such as advanced customization and native apps.
WP Touch – Another good alternative to make your site mobile compatible. WPtouch automatically transforms your WordPress website for mobile devices, complete with ajax loading articles and smooth effects when viewed from popular mobile web browsing devices.
Responsive Web Design
There are many WordPress responsive themes now available for free. While these are not plugins, I am putting it here anyway, just for you to know that it is important to improve users experience, specially if you are just in the beginning.
Here are some you can look at. Responsive themes are great because they “suppose” to adjust itself based on the users size of the screen. Note that I mention “suppose”, because I have tested some themes but they don’t actually perform well. A quick test is to install a theme on a dummy site, put some stuff in there and “resize” the browser. See how it works.
See example below of my clients new non-for-profit website. Note how it fits nicely when the screen is resized. Look at the menu for example. It changes from full screen to, tablet view and smartphone view. In case you are wondering the theme I used here is the Pytheas responsive WordPress theme (its free and plenty of choices – just read the instructions carefully).
Other SEO plugins
Schema Creator – This is an awesome plugin. Provided by the creators of “Google analytics configuration tool” and “Raven IM tools”, this Schema creator plugin is totally free to use. Cool!
Structured data is a way for search engine machines to make sense of content in your HTML. Google and other search engines created a structured data standard called schema.org. If you’re like me, finding schema.org may be a little difficult to grasp at first. This plugin helps you quickly build and get started with schema.org microdata.
Alternatively, you can use the Data Highlighter in your webmaster tool for teaching Google about the pattern of event-related data on your website.
Google Authorship – Google authorship is something you should not take for granted. If you are using Google plus and want to easily control your Google Authorship, this plugin works for single user WordPress sites and multi-author sites. Each user has a new field to store their Google Profile URL, then on each page and post the plugin will create the required link in the HTML Head. Just don’t forget to link your Google+ profile back to your site. Here’s also an alternative way to set up your authorship.
Google XML Sitemap / Image Sitemap / Video Sitemap
XML Sitemaps are a way to tell Google, Bing and other search engines about web pages, images and video content on your site that they may otherwise not discover. These plugins will generate a sitemap for your WordPress blog with all the URLs that are attached to your blog posts and WordPress pages.
- Google XML Sitemaps
- Google XML Sitemap for Images
- Google XML Sitemap for Mobile
- Google XML Sitemap for Videos
Related Posts plugins
These type of plugins are responsible for showing your visitors more related stuff while on your posts. The objective is to offer them more related posts, based n what they are interested in. Theoretically, if they landed on your page about SEO, it is more than logical that they could be interested in other stuff you have about the same topic. Related plugins does that, it shows them more. Here are the ones I recommend:
- nRelate (several options)
- LinkWithin (head over to their homepage, type in your URL and download the special plugin generated for your site)
Better WP Security – Yeah, you may be asking, what’s WordPress security got to do with SEO? Here’s a quick answer – If your site gets hacked, it will most like be tagged as “unsafe” on Google’s Advisory list. If that happens, say bye, bye to rankings. Plus, its your site, and are you not interested in keeping it safe?
Social Engagement
Google and other search engines are taking into consideration signals from social channels. The more you get you get your brand and posts out there, the better. Also, building relationship and interacting with like minded people is of utmost importance. This is all good, but your do have to get found and make it easy for your user to share your stuff on the sphere. This is where Social plugins come into play.

[note]SEO tools – I am writing up the best SEO tools for 2013, but meanwhile, don’t forget to make use of Google Webmaster Tools and Bing webmaster tools. [/note]
That’s it! I am sure that I have missed out some other plugins. If you know of any that you think should have been included in this list of WordPress SEO plugins, please do let me know.
Did you like this post? If you did, I will appreciate if you can share this with your audience, network of friends, communities, etc.. Thanks!
I thought the post will be about SEO plugins only.
I am new to few plugins you mentioned above. And will surely try them.
Hi Abhi. It is about SEO plugins actually. The “others” are just an added bonus ๐ Anyway, the idea is not for someone to go crazy and install plugin. I figured that are some important things that goes beyond SEO plugins. After all, what’s the point of adding Yoast for example, if a site loads very slowly, constantly crashes, and all that ๐ Thanks for stopping by

W3 Total Cache is one of the best plugin for wordpress i have ever used.

I’m still having problems with my SEO plugins. I use Yoast SEO’s plugin, and I used to use the All in One SEO Pack, but both are a little buggy on my site for the META tags. Also – Smart Links has a few problems, such as not showing up in the RSS feed. I used to use it, but it has had to many problems for me.
Pankaj
Plugins for making your website mobile compatible are really in demand, as you don’t want to miss mobile users visitors.

Hello Tesco,
My favorite seo plugin which i’m using is all in one seo. the plugin is great and recommended to all but the wp smush.it did not work for me. great list by the way.
Organized
Thanks for sharing your favorite WordPress SEO plugins. I will have a look at them.
Anyway, Google is continuously fighting SEO activities, so I wonder if it is worth wasting time trying to improve our sites’s SEO instead of thinking in terms of content quality.
Hello Dear

chiru
Great list of word press SEO plug ins..
By the way iam using “WP SEO by Yoast ”
it has some bugs and not able to reach up to my expections..
can you suggest me for the best?
John
Wow! It’s always nice to see some WordPress SEO Plugins! And you’ve included all the classics here. I’m glad you included the Local Search SEO Contact Page. This is a quick and easy way of getting your “contact” page marked up properly. I’ve personally found that Yoast’s SEO Plugin is the “must have” and it’s completely free. I like that he has integrated a lot of the features into the one plugin (such as Authorship, Breadcrumbs etc) and he seems to be very reliable at fixing bugs and keeping it up to date.
I have been using the Google XML Sitemap plugin or quite a while now. I have been very happy with it. I didn’t realize they also made Google XML Sitemap for Images, Video, and Mobile. I may have to looking to the Images and Video ones a little more.
Hi Ray. Sorry for the delay.. I’m glad you found something here that you were still not aware of..
Did you give them a try yet? Obviously, the results will take a while longer. Don’t forget to submit them on GWT if you do try them.
Steve
I’ve been looking for a decent WP short code plugin also. Everything I found was lame. I’ll test this out and if it works, I’ll give you a shout out in a review lol, good post, thanks for sharing.
John (Affiliate Coach)
hey guys,
I use Platinum SEO plugin from the list above, and nothing else. Of course, I use alternative plugins to help enhance the blog and reader experience, but I like to keep the list under 20 plugins per total.
The more plugins you install and activate, the higher your chance to get hacked, or have the blog run not so smoothly.
What do you guys think?
I agree with you. It is good to maintain a WordPress site with a minimum amount of plugins. It hampers performance and security, hence why I included in the list above, ways to overcome that, e.g., using Cloudflare/Incapsula and Jsdelivr for example
PrimeMagazine
So which one do you recommend?
All in on seo or Yoast
BTW
which one are you using? I checked your page source none of them were installed on your blog.
BTW 2 ๐
Is it ok to have both of these plugins installed or it would ruin something?
Thanks for your time ๐
HI. If you noticed, I am using the Thesis framework here on this blog which already has its SEO built in, so you won’t find neither AIO or WPY. I use both on several other sites, but lately have been giving priority to WPY for my newer sites, including that for clients. Both are good, but if you want more flexibility and would like a bit of help when optimizing your content, I would go WPY.
No, you can’t have both plugins installed. You use one or another. Using both won’t work as one will try to “force” on its other, and will probably get messy.
Vivek
This was a great post. Lots of free SEO plugins, personally like the wordpress SEO by yoast. But I have one suggestion for you. I think you should try to check out Squirrly SEO. ” Its just a suggestion “
Thanks Vivek for the suggestion. Never heard of Squirrly before. Is that on the WordPress repository? Can’t seem to find it
Vivek
Yes its present their, its very unique and very new. Here’s the link if you don’t mind : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/squirrly-seo/

Awesome post. As an SEO Consultant I just love WordPress among all other CMS. It is very user friendly and easy to access. Thanks for sharing it.
I use most of the plugins mentioned in the article. There are some good free and paid plugins like JetPack, Easy WP SEO etc. JetPack is a good plugin, it combines multiple plugins into one.
Ashok Jaria
A very usefull post !! Let me know how to make WordPress faster without the use of a plugin.

Try CloudFlare. That helps a great deal
Andreea Leau
Great article! I used SEO by Yoast, but now I’m using Squirrly SEO. Have you heard about it? It’s pretty new, but it’s great ๐ It have live assistant, keyword research and ispiration box. These are my favourite features ๐
Umer Rock
I personally prefer to use minimum number of plugins and use Thesis theme for most of my websites which gives me much finer control on each post and page level. In case I have to use a plugin i will go with Yoast SEO or All in One SEO
Avnish Gautam
There is one more seo plugin for WordPress which worth to keep in this list – Easy WP SEO Plugin and I am also using it.

Really a handful of plugins which are now a days a must for making seo campaign successful
tonygreene113 @ 113tidbits
Has jsDeliver been used on sites with lots of unique view traffic? Some of these reconfigure the page if you average over 2,000 uniques a day.
Chuka Udeze
Hi Ashok, you can try Cloudflare with MaxCDN, it will significantly improve your site speed, Jetpack is one plugin that is becoming more and more valuable these days as wordpress/Automattic continues to add more features there
Joel
Hey Tiesco Very Impressive list of WordPress SEO plugins.You could also include Seopressor as it makes on page optimization of wordpress blogs super easy.Keep up the good work
Sudipto
Hey DiTesco,
Thanks for sharing these great plugins with us and most of the plugins mentioned by you are must for wordpress. Currently I am using Yoast for SEO and I think its the best plugin ever I had for SEO.
Steven Papas
Thanks for the plugins. I’m now using the “Google Authorship” plugin & found it very easy to use.
Ken
In the past, I’ve only built sites on Blogger, so none of these fancy seo plugins were ever available. But, just a few months, I finally decided to get started with WordPress and Yoast was one of the first plugins I installed. Nothing but praise. It’s made me think differently when I approach online writing.
Thank you for this.
Dave
Can anyone help me how to use w3 total cache? It’s always in disabled mode. I can’t save the changes I made in the setting. I already re-installed the plugin but nothing happens.
Is w3 super cache better than this one?
Hi Dave. Not sure why you are not able to activate W3. I know it sometimes has some issues so I suggest you to try WP Super Cache instead. They have updated the plugin very recently and for what its worth, its the one I am using on this blog ๐ Let me know how it goes and which one you decide to use.
fleming
Thanks for organizing some of the best plugins here for making seo campaign successful plugins play a pivotal role
yogesh pant
hi DiTesco,
I shall personally recommend the use of Yoast for the SEO. It is quite easy to use and also has the necessary requirements embedded into it. It really tells the blogger what small mistakes he is committing and helps in eliminating them.
Jens Törnell
Hello!
I’ve made a SEO plugin for WordPress. If you make another list of SEO plugins or update this one I would love to be included.

Hi Ditesco!
i’m using WP SEO by Yoast, and it this plug in, he said that no need to use meta tag, can you explain it for me?
Thank you!
The meta tag that they refer to is the “meta keywords” which are no longer important for search engines. It used too but the abuse started so it is not utilized anymore.
i think All in one seo is the best because other plugin do not work in SE such as yandex which it’s important for us in russia
This is a very interesting comment Husam. I would really like to know more.. Why do say that “other” plugins won´t work for Yandex?
Ditesco i am in seo filed more than 5 years i had tried all in one SEO and yoast wich both are used but yandex not like google it’s use keywords for search and since i had removed all in one seo and install yoast and as usual lost posation for changing title and waited for ranking and never happens i found that yandex still use keywords filed and yoast do not use it any more ๐
Susan Doyle
Good work Francisco. Thanks for the great list of plugins.
Rafiul Islam Tanik
WP SEO by Yoast is really nice plugin. I’m using this plugin about 5months. I got good result by using this plugin.
Very helpful article. Thanks for sharing this article with us.
PashO
I’m using WP SEO by Yoast to optimize my old site. It’s made me think about how I write and I’m actually rewriting a lot of old content.
Good call adding Better WP Security to the list. On my hyper local blog, I receive at least 400 bad login entries each day. This plugin keeps me safe.
I had to stop using W3Total Cache after the recent update broke my site but I’ll try WP Super Cache following your suggestion.
This is a good list, I’ll look into some of the other suggestions.
Kristinakathy
Hi DiTesco. Yes I also prefer WordPress CMS and it is best for SEO professional. Nice plugins. As most people discussed here about Yoast, I also agree with them. Personally I love this plugin. It helps in Social media optimization also. Keep sharing updates like this. Thanks ๐
Nhick
Wow, that’s a lot.. which one of these seo plugins do you recommend?
carl
I used to use Yoast, have just discover All in One SEO and I really like the simplicity of it.
Awesome Post mate!! I am using most of the plugins which you have shared here in my blog.
Adrian
All In One SEO is definitely the one that I always use. The problem with that mega plugin that you recommend as the best is exactly that it has too many features, many of them are not actually needed. All in one SEO does have all that is actually necessary at the moment!
Obinna Henry
I use Yoast, it is the best SEO plugin. I use cloudflare for speed.
Helen
I would really like to add SEO-pressor 5 to this list. I use it on all my sites. Its like Yoast but, in my mind, better.
Salini Dinesh
Good work DiTesco . You got everything in this post about SEO plugins . I am using Yoast SEO and Incpasula .
Irfan R
WordPress SEO by Yoast is the best recommendation i can give. It gives us many features and more importantly it is easy to use for newbie.
Mozie
WordPress SEO by yoast works like a bomb, it really has so many usefull features and make the life of any webmaster that is noob with SEO such a breeze. I actually prefer it over all in one seo. Thanks for your great post too and have a good one.
Mohammed Siadath Ali

Shiv Saroya
I have used All in one SEO and Yoast for two of my blogs. Per my experience, All in One SEO is performing compared to other SEO plugins. All in ONE SEO and YOAST works very well, bloggers can choose anyone of it.
frank joseph
I use WordPress Seo plugin by yoast and sometimes AIO plugin, and both of them works great, what i don’t know is why my site loads so slow…
I have tried all the tutorials i found online and it is not working. And am beginning to think it has something to do with my host.
Itender Rawat
Yes Webhosting also play a vital role for SEO. I am using Yoast and I am OK with it. Also using All in one SEO Pack on my other blog. Thanks appreciate the post.
GIRI Patel
Hi DiTesco,
I am using almost all plugin from the above list for my educational blog except jsdelvr CDN, as I have very bad experience with CloudFlare, before3 month back I have installed cloudflare service and suddenly within a week my google rank dropps almost at 6 th page from 2 nd page. Is Jsdelvr is such type of plugin ? if you provide more information on jsdelvr it may be helpful for me?
