Virtual pages VS Physical pages in Wordpress for SEO??????

Cornell · Apr 4, 2023

Hello guys, I bought a plugin (magic page) to make it easier to create city pages for my website but I found that the pages that this plugin creates are virtual pages not physical pages, my SEO strategy is to rank in every city where my company is located but I dont know if I can make a virtual page in wordpress rank, this is new to me.

pls help

about 236 cities I want to cover for all of my services which are like 12, so aprox 1K city pages in total for all of the services

thats why I dont know if this plugin will work, cuz im trying to rank but I dont know if you can rank with virtual pages

sure as google doesnt know if its a virtual page or a "real" page. its all handled on your server and google (or anyone else) will get the HTML output only.

Well, all pages in wordpress are virtual.

And even dynamic rendered. Do you mean they can be called via a get parameter (e.g. "?city=blub")? This can be handled by htaccess/nginx.

Technically they are the same to the crawler bot like @itz_styx said. However, in practice, it could affect seo badly if your server takes too much time to send the initial byte. So, make sure you have a good host and not too many plugins if you are using wp. Coz that will slow down the initial response time.

With MPP (Magic Page Plugin), you can do a dynamic page or export to posts/pages to have urls to index.
