SEO on WordPress - with plugins or without plugins?

Hi guys, not really an SEO expert here, but rather a web designer and developer.
I am thinking about the idea to leave SEO plugins behind. Over time I came to the conclusion that those plugins are the holy grail for people with limited technical skills. To me, the only benefit I can gather is that those plugins make things happen quickly. However, in some cases a bug in an SEO plugin can potentially mess up rankings, not to mention how bloated some of those plugins are. That's why I want to have more control over and "break free" from the bloat.

More than advice, I'm looking for opinions from real SEO experts - do you think there is a benefit in using SEO plugins? If yes, which is your go to SEO plugin? And finally, is there anyone here who has already left behind SEO plugins and are you happy with that choice?

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
