    Hi guys,

    I am just wondering. Do you guys use the default Yoast SEO or Genesis SEO? Problem is that Yoast SEO (at times) gives me headache with those SEO errors. Lately experienced a few issue with it.

    So, I am just wondering what's your take on this? Just doing like a 'survey' and don't get me wrong. I love Yoast SEO but wanna hear from you guys.

    Thanks.

    I'm not a fan of the Yoast plugin, personally. I use the built-in Genesis SEO on all my sites.

    May I ask why? I know many users think there is too much to configure for Yoast.

    I was only using Yoast on one or two sites until earlier this year, about 6 months ago or so, perhaps? For some reason, the plugin update that came out around then slowed down my websites beyond the point of pain, and when I checked the WP support threads, a lot of people had begun having performance impacts on their sites with updates several versions prior, and it seemed like the problem was getting worse with subsequent releases.

    I've gone back to the Genesis built-in SEO on almost everything, and started playing with the free version of WP Social's SEO Booster, just to see how it does. I like the rich snippet support.
