  6. Sandip K says:

    Do not use Yoast SEO Plugin, ALL in one SEO plugin at same time :/ you will face some serious issues :D

    • Editor says:

      Hello Sandip,

      Yes you are right, i should have mentioned to use only one plugin out of two.

  7. Leanne Berry says:

    Great summary of each plugin, it’s funny; i’ve been using WordPress for years but have never heard of Hyper Cache or SEO Friendly Images. I’m definitely going to get on with using these on future sites. That’s why i love these type of posts. I also agree with Sandip i had some serious issues with conflicting plugins when i moved from All in one seo to yoast and forgot to disable the all in one plugin!

    • Editor says:

      Hello Leanne Berry,

      Hyper Cache is a best caching plugin, its specially meant for shared hosting users. If you using WordPress, you does need to use at-least one caching plugin.

    • Editor says:

      Hello James,

      We strongly advice against using plugins that can conflict simultaneously. If you want to do further research look at the plugin pages – under reviews and support for each plugin.

  24. Ramana Kumar says:

    Hi,

    Nice post. I use yoast plugin for my on page seo. I recently used squirrly also, though it is good one, in the free version you may not have all the functions. when we try to search the google ranking which is available on the top of the page. it say google stopped you due to too many searches. Unless you go for premium one with squirrly, probably we wont find other features. But in yoast I could not find such issues, it is good one.

    Last but not least your article is awesome.
