What plugins are needed for SEO?

Advertise on BHW
No need for any WP plugins other than site speed / caching / image compression (which can be done by the hoster).

Yoast free is a joke. Rank Math screws your sitemaps and inner pages (i.e. forum posts).

Speed

I don't do caching on WP any more. All caching happens at the edges, it's about 100x faster than caching via plugin. Only the first access is slow, the rest are miliseconds fast

Also page rules. Those are magic.

In case you haven't noticed, BHW uses CF extensively too

Yes, I was expecting this argument, although I always felt Cloudflare is insufficient for certain aspects. With Cloudflare you can take care of 50% of them, but you still have to leave 50% on the air.

If you don't care at all about WPO then either CF or a WPO plugin will do the cut. But if you care, CF is insufficient. For me, CF is like the lazy option when I don't want to make something special.

Still I have to say that only with WP and CF I can't see how you can tweak many head parameters without further coding. For example, some as simple as metas. If I wanted to go full minimalistic on SEO, I would at least install Slim SEO plugin that is like the basic barebone (metas, a nice sitemap, breadcrumbs) all in 150 KB, pretty clutch for what could be needed in this regard.
 
Rankmath Pro is a good plugin that help you improve SEO. But it depends how you optimize it.
 
I used to use yoast seo, last year I have been using rank math seo and am satisfied
 
Essential SEO plugins include Yoast SEO or Rank Math for on-page optimization, and tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console integration plugins for analytics and monitoring.
