Before knowing The SEO Framework (TSF), I almost never <\/strong>install an SEO plugin for my client sites. I was satisfied with my custom hooks that automatically generate meta tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day I stumbled upon this plugin in Reddit and fell in love ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Minimalist Interface<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a breath of fresh air compared to Yoast or All-in-One SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design fits nicely into the Gutenberg editor making it looks like a core part of WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Doesn’t Try to Upsell You in Every Occasion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I feel uncomfortable by the amount of “Get Premium” buttons all over the place in Yoast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoast is not a bad plugin per se. It does its job well. But I’m only allowing it if my client is willing to pay for Premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Lightweight and Fast?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, I’m already sold on TSF for the first two reasons above. When lots of people are saying that TSF is fast, I simply believe it. But for this article, I need to test it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I did a quick test<\/strong> by copying one of my sites, migrate it to Yoast SEO, and use Query Monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Page Loaded<\/th>The SEO Framework<\/th>Yoast<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Admin – Edit Page<\/td>61Q ~0.0086s<\/code><\/td>71Q ~0.0094s<\/code><\/td><\/tr>
Admin – Post List (20 per page)<\/td>54Q ~0.0053s<\/code><\/td>78Q ~0.0091s<\/code><\/td><\/tr>
View Page<\/td>83Q ~0.012s<\/code><\/td>94Q ~0.034s<\/code><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Q = Queries, Time is averaged from 20x loading without cache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TSF is indeed faster; but in my opinion, it’s negligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Active Customer Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All questions in WordPress.org forum<\/a> are answered quickly. He is also actively helping the WP community in Reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of care given even to Free customers are staggering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Some issues I had with TSF are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con #1: Lack of UI to Modify Post Type Archive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Luckily there is a filter to achieve that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_title_from_generation', function( $title, $args ) {\n  if ( is_post_type_archive( 'my_post_type_name' ) ) {\n    $title = 'My custom title';\n  }\n\n  return $title;\n}, 10, 2 );<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Con #2: No Redirect Manager<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is the feature I missed the most. But it can be solved by installing this free plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
How to Migrate to The SEO Framework?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Install and activate SEO Data Transport<\/a> plugin.<\/li>
  2. Go to Tools > Convert SEO Data.<\/li>
  3. Choose from: [the old plugin], to: The SEO Framework.<\/li>
  4. Click Convert. Done!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    The SEO Framework is a fantastic free plugin. The minimalistic interface are easy to understand even by clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    I also feel safe to update this plugin because the developer has a good track record with not releasing a buggy update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Give this plugin a try and you will never regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
