Choose WordPress Theme
Select a WordPress theme.
WordPress themes are available in both free and paid varieties.
When choosing a WordPress theme, you should consider the following:

- compatible with the plugins
Page loading speed
Page loading speed affects your ranking in search results. If your page loads too slowly, readers will abandon your page quickly, which will hurt your site’s ranking.
Site design features
Different themes allow you to achieve different website designs, so choose a theme that will allow you to achieve the website design you desire.
Install SEO Plugin
Install SEO Plugin for WordPress depending on WordPress themes. This is because WordPress alone does not provide the information that search engines like Google are looking for.

Yoast SEO
Yoast SEO is the most installed SEO plugin in the world and is lightweight so it won’t impact your site’s loading speed. If you don’t have a preference, I recommend installing Yoast SEO.
All in One SEO Pack
All in one SEO Pack is a plugin that brings together various SEO-related functions. It has more features than Yoast SEO. However, it tends to be heavier than Yoast SEO.
