### 󠀁[Good and Simple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-and-simple-44/)󠁿

I’m not too knowledgeable about SEO, but this is really simple to setup. Although
I don’t know how it’s working, it does pickup on Google search so I assume it’s 
working fine. Thank you very much for the simple plugin!

### 󠀁[Fairly good for standalone sites (not multsite)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blessed-be/)󠁿

Man, some of the SEO plugins seem to think you want to dedicate half your life to
setting them up, maintaining them, and acting on all their suggestions. Great for
people into it, but spare me! 19/11/2018: This was the first plugin i could locate
that offered simpler SEO. I’ve amended my rating from 5 to 4 now, because the plugin
only works for standalone sites, not multisite. In fact, it will give a multisite
poor SEO, showing the parent site’s address as well as the child’s. Also, while 
i still appreciate a simpler SEO plugin, i found a plugin that’s even simpler and
handles mulisite as well (SmartCrawl).

OK, not as simple as I expected. But still…

### 󠀁[Made my admin slow by querying users](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/made-my-admin-slow/)󠁿

UPDATED: this query made our admin slow, but the developer has responded with clarifications,
will update to 5 stars once optimized. Inflicting query: SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS
wp_users.* FROM wp_users WHERE 1=1 AND wp_users.ID IN ( SELECT DISTINCT wp_posts.
post_author FROM wp_posts WHERE wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ AND wp_posts.post_type
IN ( ‘post’, ‘page’, ‘attachment’, ‘product’ ) ) ORDER BY user_login ASC

This is a helpful plug-in however the interface may be improved. Overall, still 
a helpful app. Thanks to the developers.

It seems to be working well. Previously tried Yoast but it had problems and conflicts.
