laravel-sitemap VS the-seo-framework

How does this compare to spatie/laravel-sitemap?

Add a sitemap.xml file to instruct the google crawler about your site pages, with again with Laravel it is easy using a SPATIE package: https://github.com/spatie/laravel-sitemap.

I always use this tool when I crawl manually: https://www.check-domains.com/sitemap/, since it has no page crawl limit like other generators. :) If you need a dynamic solution.. I use a crawler on a cron to run every night to make a new sitemap and send it to google: https://github.com/spatie/laravel-sitemap. You can ping google your new sitemap after it.

Yeah definitely don't mix seo plugins, pick one and stick with it. I use TSF as well and I add the nofollow tags by jumping in the html. Unfortunately the dev seems to misunderstand the use for nofollow, so decided against supporting it: https://github.com/sybrew/the-seo-framework/issues/568

I am debating that myself, I figured I just make stuff up as I go. I discovered a ton of little known alternatives for your typical end-user needs, so probably nothing too specific.

Alternatively, I work with WordPress and ever-hated SEO for some years now[1] and most of the things surrounding these two things is a scheme made to extract money from end-users. Should I focus on that? For example, if you look for "free wordpress themes 2022" you will find that the first page of Google results is all listicles of freemium themes that are years old. Of course the "best" themes are the ones who offer affiliate program.

This is both fail of Google and WordPress, if you ask me. I started a sheet of all the websites deems quality results on this search query and linked together the repeated offenders, I want to use as much data as possible to support my salty opinions. The thing is... does anyone even care about this?

Just few hours ago I saw a comment on another post here suggesting this https://theseoframework.com/ so I’m giving it a go.

PS. Please add PHP8 to your Github composer file it's working fine so far on my test build, I'm having to use wpackagist-plugin/autodescription at the moment :)
