Do you know the SEO plugin Rank Math? When we talk about SEO plugins, people recommend SEO by Yoast; I even recommended it in my article about WordPress. Recently, a new SEO plugin called Rank Math was released; this free plugin promises to completely crush the competition and even deactivate many additional plugins from its directory.
Rank Math is an All in One plugin and provides various features that are not available even in paid SEO plugins. It also claims to be lighter than SEO by Yoast itself, which doesn't offer that much.
For those who are unaware, IF THE means Search Engine Optimization and it is a set of strategies aimed at enhancing and improving your positioning on Google and other search engines.
We also recommend that you get to know the course Real SEO. This is the best SEO course that you can find in Portuguese, at an affordable price and that teaches from scratch how to make your site at the top and profit. To learn more about the Real SEO enough click here.
Installing the Rank Math Plugin
Installing the Rank Math Plugin is a very easy task like any other plugin. In case I'm having problems, I recorded a quick video showing the installation of Rank Math and some tips related to the plugin.
The Rank Math plugin features
In addition to all the standard SEO options that plugins usually offer, Rank Math's differentials are:
Redirection - Creates redirects inside articles and outside articles, killing the need to use plugins that redirect like Redirection or Quick Page / Post Redirect.
404 Monitor - Detects links that are in error on the site, killing the need to use plugins that look for offline links. You also have the option to redirect those pages offline and modify them.
Rich Snippets - Kills the need to use plugins that add thumbnails to recipes and other additional data in articles that Google detects. You have virtually all Rich Snippets and Media options, plus social networking and other snippets.
Sitemaps and RSS- The Rank Math plugin also promises to generate sitemaps of images, videos, articles, categories and more. It also optimizes the site's RSS for better results and possibilities.
Rank Math's unique RSS optimization feature allows you to insert custom header and footer text for your RSS feeds.
Search Console - The plugin automatically integrates with Search Console, allowing you to access data directly from your WordPress dashboard, also facilitating navigation and understanding of the data.
SEO Analysis - Make a complete analysis of your site alerting things to be corrected. A true All in One!
In addition, the plugin supports WooCommerce, has a scheme to manage user settings for Rank Math, a link counter and AMP support. This is a true SEO plugin All in One.
The Plugin also offers easy installation and imports virtually all data from other plugins such as Snippets, SEO by Yoast and even Redirection. It also removes irrelevant words from URLs automatically.
Do you understand that with Rank Math you can disable more than 10 plugins you used before? I was able to disable the redirect, 404, image and video SEO plugins, sitemaps and rich snippets.
More about Rank Math
The Rank Math plugin was recently launched in early 2019 by Mythemeshop, a very famous website that offers free and paid themes. We know that a large company is behind this plugin, so we can always expect the best.
It starts out that the plugin is super light, lighter than most SEO plugins. In addition, its interface is clean and simple, allowing you to disable modules that you do not intend to use. Not to mention that numerous features are being implemented.
Another feature implemented is the management of internal links, allowing you to link the most important articles for a good result in Google searches.
Rank Math has things like Google Trends keyword comparator, local SEO, product review, Google News, video sitemaps, breadcrumbs, social graph, add GIF or Video icon to increase clicks on social networks.
Choose the main category of the article, view how your site appears in searches and social networks, choose a thumbnail pattern, author of the article and more. The Plugin even allows you to edit robots.txt and htaccess.
Using a multitasking plugin has many advantages. & Nbsp; This frees up system resources, makes WordPress faster, makes it easier to manage resources and is generally a more secure option.
My experience with SEO Rank Math PLUGIN
Only the Rank Math Plugin offer all these features and more advanced SEO was enough to get my attention. Unfortunately the first time I installed I had problems with Redis Cached, but it was just uninstalling and everything went back to normal.
Remember that it is necessary to create an account at Mythemeshop to use the plugin, but nothing that affects or depends on them for the plugin to work. Not to mention that we are talking about the support of a large company that is much more reliable than anonymous plugins sold on Codecanyon.
The good thing about having several plugins in just one is that you are free from the countless options that appear in your WordPress Admin Panel, just that was enough to give a relief. As soon as I started using this SEO plugin I felt the difference.
Not to mention that the Plugin Support is great and better than many free plugins out there. Rank Math was also fully compatible with the theme I use called GeneratePress and the content plugin called Content Egg.
I am running the plugin on a cloud server from Digital Ocean using Runcloud running only NGINX on PHP version 7.3. So far I haven't had any issues, showing the dedication that the team has put into the plugin, even though it is very new.
Finally I was able to say goodbye to SEO by Yoast and other plugins that were essential in my WordPress installation, will you also do the same? Share your experience here with us in the comments and recommend the plugin to friends.
I already installed this plugin on my sites Suki Desu and Learning Words, and of course on Kevinbk. What are you waiting for to install on yours?
