Too many 404 pages have a negative impact on SEO and need to be fixed. Here is a 404 page repair tutorial.

ACFIf you have the ACF plugin installed, you can turn it on to help the plugin identify the text content of the ACF fields and help optimize SEO.

AMP.Turn it off, and if you have the AMP plugin installed, it's recommended to uninstall it. AMP has a negative impact on conversions, and Google says it doesn't hold out hope for AMP.

Pasted 7

Analytics.Open it and you can link Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics to display keyword rankings and page indexes directly in the background of your website, very convenient and practical! Here is a tutorial on how to link your Google account and view the data.

Turning on this feature will result in a larger database size, which will have a small impact on server performance (I think the impact is minimal). If you usually check the data directly on the Google Analytics website or something like that and don't need to check it in the backend of the website, turn off this feature.

bbPress & BuddyPress.If you don't have these 2 forum plugins installed, keep them closed and open them if you have them installed.

Content AI.It is not recommended to open it. This is an extra chargeable feature, analyzing keywords once costs $2-3 very expensive, and you need to go to the Rank Math official website to buy a credit to use it. We think Content AI is not very useful, a bit like specializing in cutting white leeks.

Image SEO.Open, very important feature. ALT and Title tags are automatically added to the images, greatly enhancing the SEO of the images and the page they are on.

Instant Indexing.Open, very important function. Can solve the slow inclusion of Google, as well as many pages are not included in the problem.

Pasted 10

Link Counter.Calculates the number of inlinks and outlinks for pages, posts, products and other content for SEO scoring as well as suggestions. Opening it will cause database inflation, if you are an expert know how to add dofollow outbound and inbound links as per SEO requirements, close it. Otherwise newbies are advised to turn it on.

Local SEO.This function will add the appropriate metadata to set the siteLocalCommercial websites, when users search in Google (Baidu is not in effect)LocalThe business will be very likely to search for your website.

For example, you are a flower store and your store is located in XX city. After you open this function and set your store address, if the residents of XX city search for "XX city flower store" in Google, your flower store website page will be ranked first.

If you have a local brick and mortar store or local business, it is recommended to open it, otherwise keep it closed. If it is a foreign trade website is not recommended to open, unless you have offices abroad.

News Sitemap.News sites (such as Sohu portal, Baidu News, etc.) open, otherwise close.

Pasted 11

Podcast.Blog. If your site is a show, episode type, open it and go to the Podcast search results page on Google, Apple or whatever. If your site is not a show, episode site, don't open it.

Redirections.Redirect function, must be turned on. It can redirect some wrong links to new links to optimize SEO effect. If you modify some pages, articles, products and other links, it will also automatically redirect the old links to the new ones, very useful.

Schema (Structured Data).Rich text structure, which must be turned on, helps the page to get more rankings.

Pasted 12

Role Manager.After opening it, you can manage the Rank Math setting/viewing permissions for different types of accounts on your website. If your site does not have different levels of accounts managing the backend and uploading products at the same time, you do not need to open this feature.

Links

Refer to the following chart to set up

Pasted 15

If your site is multilingual and the URLs of multilingual pages are translated into the appropriate language, do not turn this feature on, it will cause the multilingual category pages to not open. If you don't know this feature very well, it is safest to keep it off.

Redirect Attachments.Enabled, this setting will redirect URLs from the attachment pages to the posts used. They will be redirected to the post with the URLxxx.com/post-with-image.

This may seem trivial, but it has many SEO benefits, including assigning SEO value to your images and other links built over time from attachments. For these reasons, we recommend enabling this setting.

Redirect Orphan Attachments.Images and attachments that are not inserted into any page are called isolated media. It is recommended to enter the site's home page address here so that visitors are automatically redirected to the home page when they visit the isolated media.

If the site has some isolated media you deliberately do not put inside any page, have other purposes, need to be accessible through the URL, here do not enter the home page address, just leave it empty.

Nofollow External Links.Adding the Nofollow attribute to external links and turning it on will avoid scattering the weight of the page and is good for SEO. This feature needs to be used together with the "Nofollow Domains" feature below.

Nofollow Image File Links.Add Nofollow attribute to all links to off-site images to open, good for SEO.

Nofollow Domains.Turn on, this setting is used in conjunction with the "NoFollow External Links" feature listed above. Enter the external links that need to be added with Nofollow attribute hereURL PrefixWe recommend entering the following URL. The "NoFollow" attribute will not be added to external links that are not entered.

facebook.com
youtube.com
Instagram.com

Pasted 16

Nofollow Exclude Domains.Ignore, leave blank.

Open External Links in New Tab/Window.This option willtarget = "_blank"property is applied to all external links, which will open them in a new tab or window, it is recommended to enable this setting.

Affiliate Link Prefix.If you don't understand what this means, just leave it blank and ignore it. Sometimes affiliates need to distinguish hidden links from regular internal links. Traditionally, all links that are prefixed with your domain are considered internal links. Most automation tools will skip over hidden links and consider them internal links.

Using this link prefix option, you can select URL bases for hidden links so that Rank Math can automatically count them as outgoing links in content analysis.

If you willdomain.com/go/It is used as the basis for hiding URLs, please/go/Enter something like this in the field. In addition to this, Rank Math automatically containsrel="sponsored"The properties of these links, if not already added, match theAffiliate Link Guidelines for Search Engines.

 

Breadcrumbs

You can use Rank Math's breadcrumb function after enabling it, and you can add Rank Math's breadcrumb function to the page by short code. In general, only the product list page, product details page, article details page will use the breadcrumb function, the theme usually comes with it, no need to enable Rank Math additionally.

If you don't use this feature, just leave all settings of this tab as default and don't turn it on.

 

Images

This is the image SEO optimization feature that is very important.

Caution.The image optimization function here is only applied to images inserted in content (articles, pages, products)

Pasted 18

Add missing ALT attributes.Turning on and adding Alt attributes to images is very important for SEO, Alt attributes are HTML attributes that are considered "alternative" text versions of images that are displayed on websites when images are not available or when visitors want to replace the text. These attributes can be very useful when people are unable to view the image in their browser.

Importance of the Alt attribute.

  1. Unloadable images: The Alt property is used to improve the visibility of the site and also to improve the user experience. If an image fails to load, the Alt can be used to understand the content of the image.
  2. Visually impaired visitorsThe : Alt property is a key element of the Web for people who are blind or visually impaired. It provides text that can be read by a screen reader or any other program that reads the content contained in the image out loud.
  3. Search Engine Optimization: Sometimes search engines may not be able to access the images on a website. In addition, image search engines such as Google Images and Bing use alternative text to select the best images to respond to search queries. For example, when a user searches for a product on a search engine, it will display the best image that consists of detailed and relevant alternative text information.

Alt attribute format.Set the value of Image Alt, it is recommended to keep the default selection%filename%, will automatically use the image name as the image ALT, which is the best option in the vast majority of cases.

alt attribute format option-min

Add missing TITLE attributes.This option will automatically add the title attribute to images that do not have a title. The title will also help search engines understand the image better. Turning it on will help a little bit with SEO, but mouse over the image will show the Title content of the image (red box in the image below).

We feel that opening this feature will affect the customer experience, so we do not recommend opening it.

Pasted 17

Title attribute format.This option will be displayed only after the above function is enabled, it is recommended to select%filename%.

Add missing image caption.Turn on, Add missing image captions will automatically add captions to all images. Enable this option to add captions to images.

Caption format.This option is visible only when the previous option Add Missing Image Caption is enabled. The caption format helps to define the format to be used for the new caption. The default format is set to%title% %count(title)%. You can use variables and live preview to create formats.

Add missing image description.Add missing image descriptions, on. This option will allow you to add descriptions to images that do not have any description set. Image descriptions help search engines to better understand images.

Description format.The description format works in a similar way to the title format, the only difference is that it helps to define the format for the new description. Create formatting using variables. Again, only if you have enabled the previous optionAdd missing image descriptionThis option is only visible when the

Remove base.This function will delete the "shop" inside the product URL and shorten the url beautifying effect.

When enabled: https://xxx.com/shop/product-1 becomes → https://xxx.com/product-1

Remove category base.This function will delete the category URL inside the product URL.

When enabled: https://xxx.com/category/product-1 becomes → https://xxx.com/product-1

Remove parent slugs.Same function as above, except this function is removed from the URLFatherCategory.

When enabled: https://xxx.com/category1/category2/product-1 becomes → https://xxx.com/category2/product-1

If the above 3 functions are enabled: https://xxx.com/shop/category1/category2/product-1 becomes → https://xxx.com/product-1. It does look a lot better, and new websites that have not been included can consider suggesting to open these 3 functions.

WooCommerceNot recommendedThe above three operations are performed for product, product category or store URLs, as this can lead to performance problems and duplicate URLs, but according to research, short URLs are good for SEO, so you decide to turn them on or off according to your website, and it is not recommended that small users turn them on.

2023.02.20 Update: Some of our customers' websites can't open or jump to a product after opening the above 3 functions. After investigation is a plug-in conflict or something that leads to abnormal links. Just change the rank math settings and save to restore.

If you still can not reset the pseudo-static + enter the fixed link settingsPasted 116 If the problem does not work, disable the other plugins one by one until the problem is solved. If it does not work, disable other plug-ins one by one until the problem is solved. Remember to clear the cache and then refresh the foreground page to see the effect. White or do not enable the function to change the URL, the follow-up may be a whole lot of problems.

Note: The above 3 delete URL's functionOld WebsiteDo not open it! Turning it on will cause the previous product URLs to become invalid and generate a lot of bad links. If you use the multilingual translation plug-in to translate the product URL, do not open these 3 functions either. If there are subcategories with the same name, open those subcategory URLs the same, the conflict leads to a category page prompt 404.

Remove Generator Tag.It is recommended to enable increased security. wooCommerce outputs a large amount of meta information in the source code. While it can be used for diagnostic purposes, it also poses a security risk. Here is how the Meta Generator tags are displayed in the source code.

Pasted 23

When this option is enabled, Rank Math disables the output of this meta information in your site's feed. This is actually a security feature, so we recommend enabling it.

Remove Schema Markup on Shop Archives.Google does not recommend adding product architecture to category pages. In fact, they explicitly state that "product offers should not be included in the Schema.org/Product tag on category pages."

The reason for this is that the product schema is intended to provide information about a specific product, not a product category. When you add a product schema to a category page, you are effectively saying that all products in that category are the same, which is not true.

Select Brand.Add your brand information to the page code summary information, we recommend selecting "Custom" and entering your brand name in the Brand input box below.

Global Identifier.This is the product identifier, by default, don't touch it if you don't understand it.

Show Global Identifier.Close. This option displays the global identifier on the product page. If you enable Show Global Identifier, then it will display the Global Identifier on the product page.

Noindex Hidden Products.Turn on. If the WooCommerce catalog is set to hidden, search engines will not index products from the hidden catalog when this feature is turned on.

404 Monitor

When visitors try to access the site does not exist when the page will occur 404 error, open this feature will record which 404 pages visitors have visited this site.

When a website is active, it is normal to update and delete content, so every website will have some 404 errors.

It is normal to have 404 errors, but some 404 pages are caused by missing pages or URL changes. This can greatly affect the customer experience and SEO effect. So you need to record the 404 page data and use redirects and other methods to fix it.

Just set it according to the following chart, there is nothing to say.

HTML Sitemap

HTML Sitemap (sitemap) is a page where all the pages of a website are listed in order to make it easier for visitors to access and find content. HTML Sitemap contains internal links that help Google to better crawl the pages on the website and add them to the index.

From the SEO point of view just help search engine indexing, the impact on the ranking is minimal, many old domestic websites used to like to do HTML sitemap. Some people are worried that opening this feature will expose all the pages and facilitate copying by others and so on. See the wisdom of the people, open as needed.

First, create a new page in "Pages", name it HTML Sitemap, and then save it. Go to Rank Math > HTML Sitemap and set it as below.

If you can't find the HTML Sitemap page, change the shortcode and copy [rank_math_html_sitemap] and paste it into the new page content.

If you choose shortcode, it is best to use Elementor to edit the page, add a new shortcode widget, and then paste [rank_math_html_sitemap] into it, so that you can control the width, spacing and so on of the displayed content.

Pasted 105

After making the HTML Sitemap, we recommend adding the corresponding link in the footer. We have added a "sitemap" link in the footer of this website, and new articles/pages/products will be automatically added to this page.

It is possible that the HTML Sitemap created is not very beautiful, not centered and so on, that is because the default style of page is not good. You can add your own CSS to modify the appearance of this site HTML Sitemap https://diiamo.cn/html-sitemap/   It is also page add css to modify the style. If you do not know CSS, we recommend choosing shortcode to use Elementor production.

Note: Only indexed content will appear on the sitemap page, content set to noindex will not be displayed.
