[@rogerbruce2896]

does rank math have the equivalent as the yoast indexables ? That sped up my site so much :) How is Yoast Premium vs Rank Math stacking up in 2023?

[@unmiss-com]

It causes addiction to watching Ahrefs videos. There are a few more tools in my base )) Right now I need to ask my content manager to test new staff. On-page SEO is really important. Websites lose 20% of their conversions for each loading second. Amazon invests a lot to improve site speed and have today over 40% of all hosting resources in the US. The second is Microsoft, the third is Google. Big brands know about the importance of UX and how just simple loading kills conversions.

Good point. We need to aim for the same as well in order to be on top of SERP. - Max

[@EnmanuelDiaz]

If you use yoast and switch to one of these, will your SEO work need to be redone? Like the titles and meta?

[@finepointdesignandmarketing]

Enmanuel Diaz I thought this same thing but when you install Rank Math, it automatically imports all of your meta data, create a sitemap with the same name and path as Yoast and evening turns the plugin off for you. It was pretty much a seamless transition.

[@EnmanuelDiaz]

Finepoint Design oh okay, so I install that one first, and then remove yoast! Thank you!

When you install Rank Math; it walks you through the on boarding and does all the work. Basically install, follow the prompts and you’re done.

So. What can i do to make it in top 5??

I recommend to analyze top 5 websites. What is an angle of content they offer? Do they offer more than you do? What are other keywords they rank for while you do not? And finally compare the backlink profile strength. You probably want to build some backlinks directly to that page that ranks for the target keyword. Some extra internal links from other pages on your site might be useful as well. Hope that helps. P.S.

Excellent video Sam! I am using free version Cloudflare and do I still need to install extra plugin like W3 total cache? What is the max numbers of plugins we can have without burdening our site? Is it recommended to switch from yoast to rank math for established site? Tq

[@AhrefsCom]

Not sure on integrating Cloudflare with W3 Total Cache. Best to search through WordPress forums or to reach out to the devs there. As for "max number of plugins," I wouldn't say there's a set number. In my opinion, it's more what the plugins do and how much load or if they're incompatible with one another or your theme. I personally don't keep track by "number of plugins." -Sam

What do you think of WordLift and Squirrly SEO?

[@AhrefsCom]

Can't comment as we've never tried them :) - SQ

[@LoveBombMedia]

How easy is RankMath to remove from your database once it's installed if you want to switch?

[@AhrefsCom]

What do you mean "remove"? Afaik you can just un-activate/un-install it since it's a Wordpress plugin. - SQ

I used W3 Cache on a WP site and it did not work well. I went to WP Optimize and had better results. I also use All In One SEO pack and have great results

[@AhrefsCom]

Check out WP Rocket. Great plugin (although paid). -Sam

[@Anubhav2080]

Wp optimize is perfect plugin for website

[@aliwissfr]

Hi sam, thank you for the video,People are really afraid of change For me, I tried them all in a new blog ^^

[@AhrefsCom]

Did you experience a positive impact with these plugins? Just wonder if your efforts saved more than 1 second of total load time🤔 - Max

[@aliwissfr]

@@AhrefsCom of course, every single plugin may work great with a theme and may not! .... one day when i will be able to pay for a good hosting i will go after a good one, cheap hosting they are all the same :D

[@AhrefsCom]

Still worth optimization for better performance, even with slow hosting. Anyway, good luck with your blog ;) - Max

[@inna.rosputnia]

Guys, please, advice is it worth switching to Rank Math from Yoast?

[@AhrefsCom]

The plugins themselves don't affect your rankings. So, it depends on what you're looking for. - SQ

[@bostjantanko]

Awesome tutorial Sam!

[@AhrefsCom]

Thanks, Bostjan!

I have never been a Youst fan. It is not intuitive to my workflow and frankly I think it is overrated. I tried rankmath a year ago and it seemed pretty solid but it didn’t draw me away from All in One SEO. All in One is my go to SEO plugin. Though I may try rankmath again for my next client site.
