Explained
What is WordPress SEO?
WordPress SEO is search optimization applied to the way WordPress builds and serves pages. WordPress is flexible, but its themes, plugins and default archives can create duplicate pages, slow loading and unclear structure.
Adwortise audits the site itself, not only the content. Where a fix needs development, we can pair it with WordPress development.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an SEO plugin on WordPress?
WordPress does not manage titles, meta descriptions, sitemaps or schema in full on its own, so most sites use one SEO plugin. Use only one, since two can output conflicting tags.
What permalink structure is best for SEO?
A short, readable structure based on the post name is common. Changing an existing structure needs redirects from every old URL, so it should be done with care.
Can plugins slow my WordPress site?
Yes. Each plugin can add scripts, styles and database queries. We test the site, then remove or replace plugins that cost more speed than they are worth.
Should tag and author archives be indexed?
Often not. If they only repeat post excerpts, they are thin pages and are usually set to noindex. A tag archive with real content and a clear purpose can stay indexed.
