Buyer's guide

How to choose wordpress seo plugins

WordPress SEO plugins handle the parts of SEO that live inside the CMS: titles and meta descriptions, XML sitemaps, schema, canonicals, redirects and internal links. Most have a free version that covers the basics, and you should run only one general SEO plugin at a time, since two will write competing tags.

General SEO plugins

Yoast SEO, Rank Math and All in One SEO are the general-purpose plugins in the index, and all three have a free version. Yoast's free plugin covers content analysis, schema and sitemaps. Its Premium tier, $118.80 a year, adds AI-generated titles and descriptions, internal linking suggestions and a redirect manager. Squirrly SEO has a free plan for one site with limited AI keyword research.

Single-job plugins

Link Whisper suggests internal links as you write, $97 a year for one site. LinkBoss builds internal linking silos and starts free with 50 credits. NitroPack handles caching and speed, with a free plan for 1 site and 1,000 pageviews a month.

How to choose

Start with the free version. For most sites it is enough. Upgrade for a specific feature, not for a score.
Switching plugins. Moving from one to another means migrating titles, descriptions and redirects. Check the importer before you switch.
Speed. Every plugin adds code. Test page speed before and after installing one.
