"Improve your WordPress SEO: Write better content and have a fully optimized WordPress site using the WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast. WordPress out of the box is already technically quite a good platform for SEO, this was true when I wrote my original WordPress SEO article in 2008 and it's still true today, but that doesn't mean you can't improve it further! This plugin is written from the ground up by WordPress SEO consultant and WordPress developer Joost de Valk to improve your site's SEO on all needed aspects. While this WordPress SEO plugin goes the extra mile to take care of all the technical optimization, more on that below, it first and foremost helps you write better content. WordPress SEO forces you to choose a focus keyword when you're writing your articles, and then makes sure you use that focus keyword everywhere."

A set of words they'll have encountered hundreds, if not thousands of times, and that always prompts a brief moment of confusion: The page cannot be found. The page you're looking for might've been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. "Did I make a mistake while typing?" you ask. "Is the site down? It was working a few minutes ago!" For web developers however, 404 errors are not simply small nuisances but rather a leading cause of sleepless nights. Brief downtime or linking mistakes can lead to visitors leaving your site altogether, and a multitude of dead pages can cost you in terms of SEO. Luckily there are a large number of WordPress plugins dedicated specifically to solving this problem. However, before we discuss the leading candidates, let's start with a brief word about 404s. 1. 404 Page 2. All 404 Redirect to Homepage 3. 404 to 301 4. Custom 404 Pro 5. 404 Error Logger 6.
