Remove “Post’s Relational Links” tag?

@multimastery that’s a good question! The feature is part of cleaning the HTML head and if you’re not sure about removing it or not, just leave it on. Back in March 2019, Google officially announced that rel=”prev”/”next” markup has officially been deprecated as a crawl and/or indexing factor. I’m no SEO expert, though I trust the official announcements from Google (Source: https://twitter.com/googlewmc/status/1108726443251519489).

It’s up to you if you want to strip it or not. After all, if you leave it on, it would be just one/two lines of text and it wouldn’t affect the functionality of your website in any way. Here are a few articles about it, you might want to check:
