Html code in wordpress posts

Use it if needed, I use it for Amazon disclaimer on the top of the posts that has amazon links and tell Google to not include disclaimer on featured snippet.
So unless you have specific need like above there is no need to use html code.

In my opinion, we should limit the use of HTML in articles. This would be more convenient for search engine bots to crawl data.
 
No, using html in wordpress posts won’t hurt your seo bro, just make sure the code is clean and not broken, simple stuff like headings, links, bold text, and alt tags actually help google read your page better. Just don’t overdo it or use messy code keep it neat and your seo will be fine.
 
Using HTML in WordPress posts won’t hurt SEO if done correctly; it can help you structure content better (like headings, lists, tables), but messy or incorrect code can cause issues.
 
Well structured and error free HTML in WordPress posts can support SEO by enhancing clarity and user experience, while poor or faulty code may negatively affect results.

If your HTML is clean and well-structured, it won't affect your SEO to use it in your WordPress posts. Using heading tags (<h1>, <h2>), lists, and semantic markup can actually benefit SEO by making your material easier for search engines to read. Don't use untidy or too much code; it can make your site slower and make it harder for people to utilize.
 
Using HTML in WordPress posts can boost SEO if done right. Clean, structured tags help Google read your content better. Just don’t overload it with messy code keep it simple and semantic.

Yeah, using a bit of HTML helps if it’s clean

Stuff like proper headings, alt tags, and links. Just don’t overdo it or mess up the structure, that’s what can hurt SEO
 
Using clean, proper HTML code in WordPress posts helps SEO by improving structure and readability, but messy or broken code can hurt rankings.
 
If the html code is clean and has no mistakes it will not hurt your SEO, just make sure that it's not broken.
 
You can use it for any specific customization or requirements. WordPress functions using a combination of HTML, PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript, so there’s no need to worry about that.
 
I'm usually creating blog posts with "wordpress blocks" prompt. for example I'm telling chatgpt to create me a detailed article about some topic and then I tell him to create it with Wordpress code blocks it can basically create you any type of content without breaking the natural way of wordpress generating html with hes builder. If you are using elementor for example so it will be "Wordpress Elementor Html" and so on for another builders.
 
So this could be overdoing it? Like an html page

HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="sv">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
<body>
<article>
  <header>
     <h1></h1>
    <p></p>
  </header>

  <p></p>

  <h2></h2>
  <ol>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
  </ol>

  <h2></h2>
  <ol>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
  </ol>

  <h2></h2>
  <ul>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
  </ul>

  <section>
    <h2>Relaterat</h2>
    <ul>
      <li></li>
    </ul>
  </section>
</article>
</body>
</html>
 
No, this is regular html code. You need wordpress blocks html code that looks like this one.
Use this prompt (enhance it if you need) in order to get the result that you want:
"Write me an article about how to feed a bird and make it as .html in wordpress html blocks"

Using clean, semantic html in wordpress helps SEO messy or excessive code can hurt.
 
Using HTML in your WordPress posts can have a positive impact on SEO. HTML allows you to customize your posts more (structure the content with headings, lists, and other elements) which increases readability, and adding relevant tags, meta descriptions, and alt text to images helps search engines. Optimizing HTML can result in faster loading times, which is an important ranking factor.
 
Strategically using HTML elements like headings, lists and structured data can enhance SEO but overloading posts with unnecessary code may backfire.
 
Using HTML in WordPress posts can help if you do it properly. Clean, well-structured code makes your content easier for Google to read. But overdoing it or adding messy code may hurt SEO. So keep it simple and clear.
