    Hello friends
    I’m trying to focus on organic SEO and was wondering what on-page changes or settings in WordPress can help without relying too much on plugins. I recently wrote a post related to a Snapchat story viewer tool and want to make sure it ranks properly without using heavy SEO plugins.

    Any practical tips for optimising such pages naturally through WordPress settings or content tweaks?

    According to my experience most of the seo practices depends upon plugins, like for “speed optimization” you need plugins like lightspeed seo, and for technical seo “rank math seo” is good. To change meta description and meta title “rankmath seo” is good too, but it’s not about seo without “plugins” its about seo without too many plugins, to do that you have to make sure to download the best quality plugin that provides most of the options, and the two plugins i mentioned pretty much do all the job.

    Yeah, true that — Rank Math and LiteSpeed SEO are super helpful, especially for speed and technical stuff. I just try to keep things light so my site doesn’t get too heavy with plugins. One or two solid ones usually handle most of the work anyway.

    Focus on clear headings, natural keyword placement, and optimized permalinks. Compress images and add internal links—these tweaks improve SEO without plugins. But using SEO plugins can further help by automating meta tags, sitemaps, and content analysis for faster optimization.
