I have seen so many clients get locked in to a shitty SEO plugin because their freelancers put hundreds of 301 redirect runs inside that plugin instead of a standalone 301 redirect plugin.
PLEASE spread the word… 301 redirects should be all together in a solid, trustworthy redirect management plugin ONLY.
Some SEO plugins will also try to force you into their premium version to access 301 rules!!
Yes SEO plugins for WordPress are mostly hype and a scam they do NOT improve your search engine rankings and mostly are using flashy colors and bullshit to make less knowledgeable users feel like they are accomplishing things like keyword stuffing etc
301 redirects are super important for SEO, but should be a standalone plugin 🙂
