Can anyone recommend a good SEO plug-in for WordPress? I have tried a couple but I have had marginal results. Any advice would be appreciated.

Short answer: the plugin helps, but the setup and the fundamentals matter more than the brand. Several people here (for example , and ) pointed to the All‑in‑One family — that historically worked well — but today you should evaluate active, maintained options and pick the one whose feature set matches your needs (title templates, sitemaps, canonical handling, schema, redirects, import/migration tools). Yoast SEO and Rank Math are two widely used, actively maintained choices to consider. (wordpress.org)

If your results are “marginal,” run a short checklist before swapping plugins: confirm the plugin is actually outputting your title/meta tags (view source), make sure you haven’t accidentally set pages to noindex, submit/verify your sitemap in Search Console, check canonical tags and duplicate meta output (theme + plugin collisions), and run a simple site audit for crawl/index issues. These basics are what search engines rely on — plugins automate tasks but they don’t replace content quality, links, or technical hygiene. (developers.google.com)

About the HTML comment mentioned by : yes, deactivating the plugin removes its output (as noted). If you want to keep the plugin active, first check its Display/Advanced settings for an option to stop adding generator comments. If there’s no switch, you can either strip that small comment at output time or unhook the plugin’s head output (requires the correct hook/class instance). Use caution and test in staging; removing hooks or buffering output can interfere with caching or other plugins. See the WordPress guidance on removing actions for the correct approach. (developer.wordpress.org)

If you prefer a non-code route, lightweight utilities exist to strip generator/version info from the head. Test any change on a staging site and re-check Search Console after you deploy. (wordpress.org)

Example (staging only) — remove a small identifying head comment at render time:

add_action('template_redirect', function() {
  ob_start(function($buffer){
    // replace PLUGIN_IDENTIFIER with the short phrase you see inside the HTML comment
    return preg_replace('/<!--.*PLUGIN_IDENTIFIER.*-->/is','',$buffer);
  });
});

Test thoroughly and prefer plugin/settings solutions first.

I found All-in-one-seo plugin is good but it leaves tags which tell rivals that I am using it, is there anyone can tell me how to remove it?
