Does the presence of a cloud of tags and categories affect SEO?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Hello!
There is a WordPress blog.
I want to completely remove the cloud of tags and headings from the site.
Will it somehow affect SEO?
I'm afraid that the site will fall in the search results)

Answer 1

It is theoretically possible that it will.
I recommend that you conduct an experiment, remove it and see what happens, if it falls, then return it.
You can also replace the tag cloud with another, more usable linking of the same pages, for example, from the footer or some useful widgets. I would do exactly that.
