Blogging and SEO

I just set up a WordPress site to serve as the blog Section of an ed-tech platform, and the first plugin I installed was yoast seo. I wanted to know if there are any other plugins you think might be useful for the success of the blog.

If you could explain the reasons behind your recommendations rather than just listing them out it’ll be really helpful for my decision process.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I see a lot of people saying Rank Math so I’m going to give it a try

You would need also to install the “Easy table of contents” plugin. I think it is free of charge. This table of contents is important if you want your content to rank on Google’s 1st page

Site speed is crucial for user experience and SEO. WP Rocket is a powerful caching plugin that significantly improves your site’s load times by caching static files, optimizing database performance, and implementing other speed-enhancing features.
