Rank Math SEO Plugin Review

Rank Math SEO Plugin Review – Sometimes something comes along that puts a bit of excitement in your tummy!

That is exactly how I feel after using the Rank Math SEO WordPress Plugin from MyThemeShop.

Which WordPress SEO Plugin Is Best?

Haven’t you searched for which WordPress SEO plugin is best, read a lot of articles and still been not sure which one to try?

You are no different to me either, as I have tried most of them out there including Yoast SEO, All In One Plugin, SEO Framework, Squirrly, etc.

In fact, I even removed the Yoast SEO plugin from one of my websites as an experiment which you can read about, but having done it, I would not recommend having any website without a SEO plugin at all to be honest.

Why Rank Math SEO Plugin?

So far, from my initial experiences, it is like:

“you have tried the rest, now try the best!”

Well, at the moment it is free to download, but you must register on their Facebook page in order to get the download link.

MyThemeShop are still debating as to whether they will eventually charge for the plugin or maybe even have a basic free version with premium addons, but at the minute, if you download the plugin from their closed Facebook page, they say you will never have to pay for it, ever!

MyThemeShop have just released the Rank Math SEO plugin download into the WordPress area and you can either search for it in the “Add Plugin” section of your WordPress website or use this link.

What Is So Good About Rank Math SEO Plugin?

It has everything you need in one place and it works well.

I also use the Schema Theme from MyThemeShop, which is one of the fastest and cleanest WordPress themes around and it works seamlessly together with the Rank Math plugin.

This is a huge advantage when your WordPress theme and the SEO plugin that you are using on the same website, is from the same supplier. I did an article on comparing the themes of MyThemeShop and the Genesis Framework when I had just moved to MyThemeShop and I am really now very glad I did so at the time.

I do not think there is any point me repeating the details of the Rank Math SEO plugin here and it would be far better to direct you to their website for full details, including how to set it up. I do propose to do a future article about the best settings to use, however, as I have found out be trial and error.

You might also like to read the honest reviews of people who have been using the plugin for a while, as they do read really well on the plugin website.

My Own Findings?

I thought you might ask that!

Just look at this chart! You can guess when I added the Rank Math SEO Plugin. I have enjoyed a huge increase in traffic as you can see:

As you can see, I am truly happy with the performance and I am going to be sticking with it.

Why not give it a try? You can migrate your settings over and retain them if you ever want to go back to your original plugin.

This is really a game changer i my opinion and I have no doubt it will affect the existing big names in WordPress SEO plugins.

I am happy to answer any questions or queries that you might have after reading this article on the Rank Math plugin review, but I would advise you to just at least download the Rank Math SEO plugin today whist it is still free and give it a test!

How To Delete WordPress Theme Completely

How to delete WordPress Theme completely is a fairly simple operation to do, but I suppose it is only simple if you know how to do it!

There are so many new people starting to use WordPress and finding there way around that I thought it might be useful to throw this brief one in.

Find Out How To Delete WordPress Theme Completely

You need to have an active WordPress theme and you should not try to delete all themes in your administration area.

When you first install WordPress, it will automatically install free themes for you if you choose.

Themes like Twenty Sixteen, Twenty Seventeen, Twenty Eighteen, Twenty Nineteen, etc.

You can use any of these free themes already installed or upload your own free or paid theme as well.

What is not a good idea is to have redundant themes sitting in your admin area doing nothing, but taking up space and maybe also exposing you to security vulnerabilities too.

Delete WordPress Themes

You will clearly see what themes you have there.

It will also show you the theme that is currently active and that you are using.

Decide which theme you want to keep and make sure it is live.

On the other themes you are not using, hover over the theme picture near the centre and click on Theme Details.

On the extreme bottom right you will see Delete and it is just a matter of clicking on this once and then clicking on Ok to remove the theme completely.

Didn’t I tell you it would be easy?

CDN Enabler, Cache Enabler and Optimus WordPress Plugins?

This looks like a bit of an unrelated, catch-all heading for this article, but read on to find out how these 3 plugins work hand in hand to speed up your WordPress website.

KeyCDN Plugins

If you search for new plugins in your WordPress admin area and then type in “Keycdn”, you will find that these 3 plugins pop up near the top of the list and that is because they are all made by KeyCDN.

KeyCDN have produced these 3 plugins so as they talk together and behave nicely to each other and produce a complete jigsaw of CDN with caching and image optimisation all in one, to enhance performance.

CDN Enabler Plugin

The CDN enabler plugin is free and although designed specifically for the KeyCDN service, it can be used with other CDN services as well.

Full details on the plugin are here.

Cache Enabler Plugin

The cache enabler plugin is free and you can use it stand alone as well if you want to, but it works best integrated with all 3 services.

More details can be found on the KeyCDN website for this plugin and you can download it there too.

Optimus Plugin

The third plugin is for reducing the size of your images in order to speed up the loading of your pages and full details can be found here.

Testing Performance

I am currently testing the performance of using all 3 plugins along with the KeyCDN cdn service as well.

So far it seems to be working well, but I would like to do further tests and reports.

Price is the big bonus here. I have already said that the plugins are free and whilst the CDN service is not free, it is as close to free as I have seen!

KeyCDN really do have very cheap services and you should have a look and compare them to others.

Mythemeshop Content Locker Review

Mythemeshop have a free plugin called Content Locker, which is why I thought it might be worthwhile having a Mythemeshop content locker review.

What does the Mythemeshop content locker plugin do?

In their advertising, Mythemeshop states that the content locker plugin:

“Content Locker is the tool that can transform your online business and take it to the next level.
Get visitors to ‘pay’ for content by liking, sharing or signing up and watch as your numbers swell!
Build a powerful community and increase your email marketing efficiency several fold!”

So, when you land on a website using the content locker plugin, there will be a full page popup presenting you with social media options to Like and Share.

For example, the social locker example looks like this:

and the sign-in locker example here:

Getting more social likes and shares

There is no doubt that a website with this plugin should get more social likes and shares, providing the person entering the website complies.

There is also no doubt that Google treats likes and shares as SEO signals.

You just know there is a BUT coming……

BUT

I have to say, it is not for me!

I have seen this plugin in action and every time I have been presented with liking or sharing, I have come off the website instead!

I have also asked other people I know and they say the same thing as I do.

So, instead of increasing likes and shares, there is a potential to reduce the traffic looking at your website pages and indeed increasing your bounce rate too.

Mythemeshop Content Locker Review Conclusion

I have not even trialled it to see how it performs to be honest, but I would be very interested if you have tested it and what you think of the plugin.
