    Hi, i use sleek child theme with genesis seo settings.

    If I decide to use a plugin for seo settings, Genesis seo setting are off?

    If I install a plugin, I lose the seo settings of Genesis?

    Thank you

    Yes, if you install an SEO plugin then the Genesis settings are not used

    From a decade of experience I can tell you that there's not much you need beyond Genesis' SEO settings. Anything else is overkill and amounts to diminishing returns for the effort involved. Besides, well over 90-percent of search engine results come from relevant back links to a site, not keywords, not keyword density, not keywords in the URL string. Those are valuable, but back links are far, far more important. Sticking with Genesis' SEO settings is the way to go.

    What's your site's URL? Something is probably wrong somewhere in your setup. I'm running Genesis on dozens of sites, many high traffic, and it screams. It's as light or heavy as you want it to be. If you're using a caching plugin (Quick Cache, WP SuperCache, et al), then the 'weight', whatever that is, drops to next to nothing.

    The problem is likely a plugin which doesn't play nice-nice with Genesis. I've run into a couple that didn't work at all in Genesis, but none that caused excessive RAM usage or visible conflicts.

    Unfortunately, this kind of problem is resolved only with trial and error. Disable all plugins and check usage. Then, one-by-one, add a plugin until usage changes.

    Download and activate the SEO Data Transporter plugin.

    That will allow you to move your Genesis SEO settings to those used by 1 of several popular supported SEO plugins, such as WordPress SEO.

    Then, you can switch themes and activate WordPress SEO.

    As RonnyMac said above, the problem you're having doesn't sound like something that Genesis does. If your site is too heavy or slow, it is usually because of 1 of several things: a) images, b) underpowered server relative to traffic or poor server configuration, or c) bad site design (such as putting too many images on a page or using too many plugins that require a lot of resources).

    But if you want to move, there are tools to make it easy for you to do that.
