Is it worth it to use SEO plugins for WordPress if the arms are a little straight?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Good day!
At the moment, when creating sites on WP, SEO tasks were done by hand:

• sitemap - Google XML Sitemaps plugin
  
• arbitrary title, description, keywords - metaboxes (or at least ACF)
  
• Open Graph - function
  
• Breadcrumbs - feature
  
• Micromarking - function
  
• Various SERP snippets (image, rating, etc.) - a function
  
• Transliteration of links - function
  

It seems to remember everything.
I can't get the Yoast SEO and All in One SEO Pack plugins out of my mind.
Put. Testil. But I didn’t find anything fundamentally new, except for a bunch of graphics).
It seems to me that their popularity is not caused by happiness for newcomers alone. Or I'm wrong?
Can these plugins add to the list of what I described above? If so, is it worth installing a plugin for these additions, or is it still necessary to refine what has already been implemented?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The question is not the straightness of the hands. And free time available. There are those who are trying to make an analogue of WP on bare php or Laravel in 5 seconds. If you look more closely, in 99% of cases these are young programmers without money, but with a lot of free time.
If you talk to a higher level. Those who have already seen projects, saw failures, managed to bring some of them to results. Then usually these are people who already have money, they do not have much free time and they have mastered the best of breed strategy. Some of them can also write all this, but they already have enough sense not to do so. Ptm that mental fuel is of course and it is better to spend it on other tasks. And if something has already been invented, whether it's a bicycle or a CMS or an SEO plugin, then it's better to take it ready-made and not re-invent it. Life is short. It is foolish to spend it on the invention of bicycles that have already been made before you. It is better to do something worthy that has not been done before you.

Answer 2

A little familiar with WordPress. This is a CMS and it is created primarily for those who are unfamiliar or not at all familiar with programming. There are many times more non-browsers on the web than grocers. That's why it's so popular. Any task in WP can be implemented without a plugin, but... think about it, is it worth it? If you look at the plugin code and there is a lot of unnecessary garbage for you - can you really write everything yourself?

Answer 3

Well, put it and see what is in these plugins, why ask that? Article plugin in five seconds

Answer 4

Yoast SEO and All in One SEO Pack are not worth the trouble. If you yourself understand what optimization is, then it’s better not to use them, as a rule, old technologies work there that break the structure of the article and make it for robots but not for people. You will not be able to make a popular site with these plugins in the machine.
