ways to boost Your Wordpress website
Must have plugins for wordpress website
Setting up WordPress sites is easy, and doesn’t require much technical knowledge and wordpress website if optimized properly can rank very high in Google (depending upon keyword you are ranking it for). The only thing you require in word press website is Plugins and what are the best plugins for your website and how to properly use them. Other than that you need to generate backlinks and many others SEO related things which i will be explaning further
In addition to the 7 modern SEO tactics which are applicable for every website, if you want your Word Press blog to rank higher in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs), here are a few things that you should consider doing:
1. Starting with your WordPress Website or blog
wordpress-search-engine-visibility
To start with wordpress site is actually very easy. after butying your wehosting space from your desired web hosting provider and finalising your website url. You can add your domain name to webhosting through control panel and can install wordpress theme which ever you desire.When you set up a new blog, you can use the ‘discourage search engines from indexing this site‘ feature of WordPress until you’re done with working on the structure of the blog and ready to launch it. When you have that option enabled, it disallows search engines (bots) to crawl your pages (handled from robots.txt). WordPress also includes rel=”noindex” and rel=”nofollow” tags in the pages of your blog, so that they don’t get indexed by search engines until you want them to. This is useful because most bloggers tend to delete the default ‘Hello World’ WordPress post and tweak permalink structures and all, which would otherwise result in lots of 404 not found errors to show up in Google Webmaster Tools.
2. Change Your Permalink structure
wordpress-permalinks-structure
By default, WordPress http://yourdomainname/?p=123. Which is not search engine friendly and you’ll lose the opportunity to put a few important keywords in post permalinks if you don’t switch to a text-based permalink structure.you can change it to any of others given structure option by going on setting then click on permalinks and you can choose your desired one.
#Plain
#Day and name
# Month and name
# Numeric
# Post name
# Custom Structure
you can choose to any of these but i prefer to go for post name.
3. Install an .xml sitemap plugin
XML Sitemap is a very important plugin to have in your wordpress website if you install premium version of YOAST to your website you dont need seperate .XML Plugin. xml site map helps you to crwal your website in google The Sitemaps protocol allows a webmaster to inform search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling. A Sitemap is an XML file that lists the URLs for a site. It allows webmasters to include additional information about each URL: when it was last updated, how often it changes, and how important it is in relation to other URLs in the site. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently. Sitemaps are a URL inclusion protocol and complement robots.txt, a URL exclusion protocol.
Google-XML-sitemap-generator-plugin
A good plugin for WordPress to automatically create and update sitemaps is Google XML Sitemaps by Arne Brachhold.
4. Install an SEO plugin
Installing a good SEO plugin is a must because it can take good care of numerous SEO aspects of your blog automatically. there are many SEO Plugins you can use for your wordpress website. SEO YOAST and ALL IN ONE SEO are being used the most.
Personally I am using SEO yoast for my websites and it has helped me a lot to rank my websites in google.
Another popular SEO plugin for WordPress is WordPress SEO by Joost de Valk.
If you can afford a paid plugin, I’d suggest Squirrly. In addition to SEO, it helps you out with keyword selection (by analysing keyword competition and search trends) and a various other elements of SEO. When you’re writing a new article, Squirrly’s live assistant tells you about how optimized that article is, SEO-wise. It also includes all-in-one SEO Analytics that shows information about Google indexation, social metrics, inbound links and a variety of other things.

5. Nofollow untrusted and useless links
Nofollow-Links
Basically, a hyperlink with a rel=”nofollow” attribute on a webpage means that the webpage tells the search engine spiders not to ‘follow’ the link and that it doesn’t guaranty the reliability of the linked page. Additionally, adding a rel=”nofollow” attribute to a link ensures that it gets no PageRank points from the page the link was posted on.
Google advises that webmasters set unrelated links as nofollow. This includes paid advertisements on websites with links to the advertisers’ websites. Generally, you should nofollow links (such as a link to the RSS feed) that are either unrelated to the website that they’re posted on, or are not useful to search engines. You can check what Google has to say about it.
6. Noindex duplicate page types
If your blog already has a category called ‘Pussy Cats’ and you still tag a post ‘Pussy Cats’ then that might create duplicate content and duplicate titles issue if you don’t use different title structure for tag and category pages. A quick solution would be to noindex (that’s telling search engines not to index a page using <meta name=’robots’ content=’noindex’ />) the less important page. A very easy way to do so is to use the All in One SEO Pack plugin that I’ve already mentioned before.
7. Use a caching plugin to speed up your blog
wordpress-caching-plugins
A caching plugin is a must for any WordPress site. Caching plugins do two useful things. Firstly, they make your website faster. Secondly, they reduce the load on your web server. Most caching plugins cache static and dynamic content to decrease the page loading times. One such awesome plugin for WordPress is W3 Total Cache which I use on TechTage and various other WordPress sites. It’s feature-rich with page caching, browser caching, object caching, database caching and minification options. A good alternative to it would be WP Super Cache, which generates and serves static .html pages to speed up WordPress sites. The goal behind decreasing webpage load times is to improve user experience. Search engines also give fast sites more edge in SERPs. So, if you make your website faster, naturally it’ll be good from an SEO viewpoint.
You can also use WP Rocket as well its a very good plugin to take care of all thing

8. Use a CDN to boost your site’s performance
CDN
If you dont Install WP Rocket then you can install CDN Plugin Separately.A CDN is super helpful, especially for medium to large websites with lots of static content (like images, javascripts, css). It basically caches your static content among numerous servers on its widespread network and serves them to your users through servers that are the closest to the locations of the users. This speeds things up, as a closer server to get static content from ensures lower response time and faster page loading performance overall.
I use MaxCDN on TechTage and a few other websites, and all I can say is that I’m a big fan of it. Because of MaxCDN’s awesome CDN servers, even the most resource heavy pages of our website load under 2 seconds. I’ve also reviewed it, so you can take a look at the MaxCDN review if you’re interested.
If you can’t afford a paid CDN service, there are a few free alternatives. CloudFlare is a very popular CDN service provider offering a free plan, though they provide a somewhat technically different service than what MaxCDN does, by caching entire webpages on their servers and serving them directly from their servers. You should start using a CDN no matter whichever CDN you go with, if your WordPress site has seen some decent growth and is asking for more.

9. Switch to a better web host
fast-web-host
If your website remains slow even after optimizing the code, using a caching plugin, and a CDN, it’s time to move to a better web host with faster servers. You might contact your host and ask them why your website is performing slowly on their server, but if they fail to provide you a specific reason (such as your website hitting your VPS’ memory limits), you can be sure that their servers are slow in the first place.
While choosing a new web host, make sure you don’t make the same common mistakes that most beginners do. A few of my favourite web hosts are: MDDHosting, HawkHost, StableHost. I recently reviewed MDDHosting and in my opinion they’re the best shared host out there out of the large lot of hosts I’ve tested. If you’re curious as to why I never had to switch to another host since 2011, give my MDDHosting review a read.
In addition, I’ve reviewed a few other popular web hosts as well, like BlueHost, InMotion Hosting and A Small Orange.
A great place to look for a new web host is WebHostingTalk. Their members are very helpful and new members get proper guidance on choosing a web host.
10. Block spam comments
New versions of WordPress do a very good job in nofollowing links posted by users in comments. You can prevent spam comments from getting posted in the first place implementing these 3 simple methods.
So, why are spam comments bad for your blog? First of all, they don’t contribute anything to the topic and annoy legit users. Secondly, if a post on cars get a comment saying things about ‘cheap viagra’, search engines don’t like that.
In that case, there’s a chance that the page will be flagged as spam by search engines and your site will get penalized. “Preventing spammers from doing bad stuff on your site is the only effective way” in this case – according to Gareth Bull from Bulldog SEO.
11. Hatom/hentry remover (Fix errors in Google Webmaster Tools)
Click on the link to Download this Plugin here
This plugin removes the ".hentry" class with a post_class-filter and supports all themes (even the Twenty T*-family) by simply adding the tag again with javascript. This will prevent Google from indexing it as a hentry in "Structured Data" without messing up the layout.
According
to microformats.org/wiki/hAtom “hAtom is a microformat for identifying semantic
information in weblog posts and practically any other place Atom may be used,
such as news articles. hAtom content is easily added to most blogs by simple
modifications to the blog’s template definitions”. This microformat is
implemented on any site by adding it’s specific classes to markup. In this case
classes aren’t used for styling elements but for highlighting the elements of
microformat. hAtom wasn’t written for Google, was invented for feed readers to
know which elements are contained in a post. And Google just read these
information’s for knowing how to format their “rich snippets” – those few lines
of text that appear under every search result.
Because
WordPress is a CMS used basically for publishing articles/blog posts, almost
all WordPress themes, if not all, add classes like “hentry” or “hfeed” for
content. In Suffusion for general classes of an article is called the WordPress
function post_class() which insert the class “hentry”. Those classes are parts
of hAtom microformat, telling to feed readers that our sites contains posts.
But Google crawler interpret those classes as we want to get rich snippets
based on microformats even on sites where we don’t need this.
