2. Yoast SEO

I can see that the difficulty will be the plethora of plugins that for whatever reason won't end up being compatible, and the Wordpress community will quickly consider it a "broken database" or similar.

For example, one of the most common plugins is Yoast, I'm sure somewhere in this spaghetti something will be MySQL specific.

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?
