Its effectiveness depends on the hosting service&#8217;s technology.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Image Optimizer Plugin<\/strong>: Advocates for external image optimization before uploading to WordPress, reducing reliance on in-WordPress image optimization plugins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SEO as a Separate Service<\/strong>: SEO optimization is offered as an additional, chargeable service, not included by default through plugins like Rank Math SEO or Yoast SEO.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and CrocoBlock<\/strong>: Preferred for creating custom post types and fields, with CrocoBlock being a more cost-effective alternative to ACF Pro.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Essential WordPress plugins for 2024: Admin\/site enhancements, Classic Editor, Independent Analytics, ManageWP, Elementor, Solid Security, LightSpeed Cache, with a focus on efficient design and external SEO services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5240,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seo","category-41","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5239"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5239\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5241,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5239\/revisions\/5241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
