Yoast SEO comes with a lot of features that get your posts and pages in tip-top SEO shape. We believe that everything the plugin offers is valuable and that it』s good to take advantage of these tools. We』ve carefully built the features in Yoast SEO based on extensive research and experience. Each one has a role to play in making your site perform and rank better. That is why we』ve enabled our features by default when you install the plugin. Of course, there might come a time when you』d like to turn some features off. You can do that in the General settings of Yoast SEO. We want to make sure you know the value and function of each feature. So, in this article, we shortly explain what each feature does, and how you can use the features to customize your Yoast SEO experience.
Note: Some of these features appear both in the Yoast SEO meta box, and the Yoast SEO sidebar. To learn more about the sidebar settings, read: How to optimize your content with the Yoast SEO sidebar!
Turning some of these features off will likely have an effect on the SEO of your website.
