Necessity for a SEO plugin using wordpress as cms

    Hello

    I am using wordpress as cms.

    I am making a website with 6 pages plus extra space for 1 page (so the user can add a page if he wants to). I have no comments, rss, search, or trackback/ping.

    I tried All in one SEO, but it seems to slow down my page, so i switched to Platinum SEO.

    However, I have to add <?php wp_head(); ?> to make this plugin work fully. That function seems to add some extra code which I think is not necessary.

    If I hardcode the meta tags for the 6 pages, I think I would not need a SEO plugin. The additional page is not important to have different keywords or description.

    Is there any necessity for me to use a SEO plugin?

    Thank you

    I think it’s safe to say that anyone using WordPress is using it as a CMS. That’s what it is 🙂

    However, I have to add <?php wp_head(); ?> to make this plugin work fully. That function seems to add some extra code which I think is not necessary.

    If you are creating a site for a client, I HIGHLY SUGGEST that you include <?php wp_head(); ?> in header.php. Not doing so will disable your client from taking advantage of the hundreds of plugins that use the ‘wp_head’ action hook.

    If I hardcode the meta tags for the 6 pages, I think I would not need a SEO plugin.

    I agree.

    Is there any necessity for me to use a SEO plugin?

    In my opinion, “no”. But other will disagree. I guess it comes down to how many features you want to extend to your client.

    Best wishes,
