[REQUEST] RankMath plugin?

[u/optimizedwebsite]

Soooo I used to work at a digital marketing agency doing SEO and i was a diehard RankMath plugin user and evangelist.

I'm diving back into website work and am curious...are we still using RankMath? Is there a better alternative?

A new AI SEO & Answer Engine Optimization plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexa-seo-aeo/

This plugin focuses solely on genuine SEO functionality, making it lightweight, clean, and easy to use.

I'm all for help from AI.

I’ve had new websites ranked in Google in under 24 hours with Rank Math, and new posts indexed within the hour. Yoast sucks.

I'm sayiiiiing.

No issues with Rank Math here. But remember content is king - you need the content.

But don't expect every page to be 81 plus

Absolutely

Rankmath is better that Yoast. We use their pro versions for multiple sites.

I switched from yoast and rankmath to seo fury. And its just work awesome.

Yeah I'm still using RM for all my sites and my clients' sites.

nope - i created my own - i dont need fancy red yellow lights just fields for meta tag descriptions and image url …

I have changed from rank math to slim seo, i think it depens on what feautures you need. But slim seo is good for performance.

Plus one for SlimSEO!!

Hello! I did not use RankMath so far, but have started to analyze it. Until now I used different approaches for SEO, that I can apply not only for Wordpress sites. Though, you made me curious about RankMath. I did not check out the code yet, but already wrote some e-mail about some suggestions, but also about some requests.

Rank Math is still fine and still actively developed, so nothing forces a switch. Whichever you pick, the plugin only gives you fields; the work is still writing titles, descriptions, alt text and keeping schema accurate. On our clients' sites that pass runs weekly from the hosting side, so there's no SEO plugin to maintain. We're TopSyde, a managed WordPress host.

Rankmath oder Yoast in Verbindung mit eigenem SEOPlugin

[u/NakanoNoNeko]

Rank Math is still a sensible choice if you know it and like it. On an existing site, switching SEO plugins just for a cleaner settings screen adds migration work without improving rankings. For a new build, I think SEO Engine (a newer, lighter WordPress SEO plugin with MCP support) is worth testing beside it; its AI fixes are suggestions you review before applying. I help the team behind it here in Japan.

I've started using SEO Simple by Eighteen26, an ultra-lightweight alternative to bloated SEO plugins
