Rank Math – The Best WordPress SEO Plugin in the future (Alternative Yoast, AIO SEO)

What is Rank Math?

You probably don’t know, over the recent time, MyThemeShop – one of the most famous WordPress theme providers, is secretly developing an SEO supporting plugin called Rank Math. According to MyThemeShop, they started to build and develop this plugin 3 years ago. Rank Math is still in the Close Beta stage, allowing only a number of people to try and fix new errors. They will definitely be more complete in the future.

Basically, Rank Math has all of the features that Yoast SEO plugin has or used to have, including Premium version. Moving data from Yoast SEO to Rank Math can be easily done thanks to the default integrated tool (Wizard Setup)

With this plugin, they hope to surpass Yoast SEO and present the best SEO plugin for WordPress. Until now, the plugin hasn’t been officially announced, but according MyThemeShop, it is a free plugin. You can download the latest version and try Rank Math plugin here.

To have a better overview, let’s watch a video about Rank Math: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G9l5aUUhpQ

P.s: this plugin (Rank Math) requires PHP version 5.6 and WordPress version 4.0.0 at least (tested up to WP version 4.9.8)

What outstanding features does Rank Math have?

This plugin has a lot of interesting features along with their smart and simple structure. Premium features of Yoast SEO appear in the free version of Rank Math.

There are also some new and interesting features including:

     - Analyze website structure and recommend a standard edit for SEO (the first point is the summary SEO score (from 0 to 100) and higher scores are better. The next, that’s the number of passed tests, warnings and failed tests parameters)

      - Recommend SEO keywords based on Google Suggest

      - Check and follow rank keywords of your website (Search Analytics, Crawl Errors, Keyword Tracker… )

      - Establish and Manage Rich Snippet

      - Control external links (nofollow, open new tab…)

      - Detect and fix 404 error links

      - Prevent index sub-pages

      - Control and freely customize XML Sitemaps

      - Edit robots.txt file

      - Redirection settings (with redirection type: 301, 302, 410…)

     - Add missing Alt, Title attributes for images automatically with many different attribute formats (post title, site title, post tag, date…). With this option, you can save a lot of time when optimizing images of your website for SEO.

      - Role Manager will help you control which user has access to options of Rank Math

      - If you’re using WooCommerce for your online store then Rank Math will help you optimize your product pages

      - …

We highly prefer the the feature of recommending SEO keywords of Rank Math (based on Google Suggest).

Anymore, if you are using Yoast or All In One (AIO) SEO plugin and wanting to move to Rank Math. Then you can import all your settings from Yoast and AIO SEO to Rank Math easily by using Yoast and AIO SEO advanced options importer feature (at the click of a button).

Rank Math vs Yoast SEO vs All In One SEO Pack

You can take a look at the features comparing table of SEO plugins (Rank Math vs Yoast, AIO SEO) to have a better overview (if you can not see this image here please visit our blog to read full article)

However, after a period of experiencing it, we found that Rank Math plugin still contains a lot of bugs (changelog of the plugin always up to dated). Perhaps MyThemeShop still has a lot to do before officially putting the product on sale.

Currently, we’re using Yoast SEO for our blog. We’re going to use Rank Math SEO plugin when it’s live. We will keep you updated.
