AIO was very limited in its free version when I last tried it - but that was 6 years ago, so take this with a bucket of salt.
Pro version was praised by some developers I consider to be very good.
I've given up on Yoast since their indexables blunder.
Considered Rank Math, but stuff like this got me a bit weary.
What tipped the scales was praises from the devs I trust in favour of The SEO Framework.
The free version + free options given by their extensions manager do all you need - technically.
If you need help writing content, keyword analysis is provided only in pro version, so in that case I'd consider paying, or using Yoast, at least with the first 100 or so articles, until you get the hang of it (Yoast offers basic, limited keyword analysis in their free tier).
EDIT: to avoid any misunderstanding - I'm not paid, nor in any way affiliated with TSF. It's just like MXroute when it comes to emails, and this forum when it comes to hosting-related forums - it's my choice, based on all the info available, and all the stuff I've tried so far. Neither is perfect, it's just "the least bad" choice for me. Nothing more, nothing less. (OK... LES is perfect! )
I'm using AIOSEO and I found that since version 4, they do big upgrade to their program, not as sophisticated as YOAST (BLOATWARE), but it is good for my needs.
I will try to test Rank Math, it offers simpler interface than AIOSEO.

True, but I would not trust a SEO plugin to do that.
There are a different tools for keyword search. Most SEO plugins for WP help in one or more of the following:
a. Tips for Optimizing existing text
b. Suggesting best practices from SEO POV
c. Identifying broken links etc.
d. Duplicate content if any
SEO Plugin is very useful for non Pro Content Writer like me.

Sounds good Thanks for the headsup! Gonna watch some more videos, then decide. Yesterday, I also tried to just add HTML code to WP using the Gutenberg "HTML Block" with inline CSS to see how far that can go.

Elementor to increase pricing and introduce new price points.
As per mail received from them
What’s staying the same?
All current users with an active Pro subscription keep the same terms for that subscription.
Personal and Plus plans are not changing in terms of price and service. They will be renamed Essential and Advanced respectively.
What’s changing?
Expert plans, purchased after March 9th for $199 / year, will now support up to 25 sites.
We want to give everyone a chance to get in on the current Expert plan ($199 / year for 1,000 sites) before it is discontinued - so users who wish to purchase this plan have the opportunity to do so before March 9th - purchase here.
What’s new?
Two new plans designed for bigger teams and users with a larger client base - Studio ($499 / year for 100 sites), and Agency ($999 / year for 1000 sites)
New plans will have access to VIP support (24/7 chat and team access), tailor-made, relevant content and the ability to open a profile on our Experts network.
We are continuing to make significant improvements to our Premium support (relevant to Essential, Advanced, and Expert plans) response and resolution time. This year we aim to double our support team again, as we did in 2020.
These changes will help us to continue to offer you the best product whatever the size of your business, while ensuring that the level of service matches.
Learn more about our new subscription structure, benefits and future plans.
@Ympker came up with the idea, I just tested it, made a more strictly structured procedure (so I can do it anytime, with half the brain on the cat-pics topic), and took some screen-shots.

Nice write-up mate Yeah, I have cloned/migrated many sites flawlessly using the free version. At some point I was like "heck, why not give them something back for the great plugin they offer and speed up the workflow". Ended up purchasing the Unlimited Extension for a one-time fee. Can't complain. For backups I still use Updraft Plus (free) since I like it a bit more in that regard.
I've moved my cycling website to a UK server. Any chance of US/Canada, and Australia based guys to click on a few pages and let me know if it has any problems loading?
Don't really care about split-seconds, as long as it loads "normally," not draggingly slow.

I mean, Crunchyroll tells me I am in the US, Netflix thinks I am in the UK and Canada is only a click away with the VPN of choice :P Jk, can only offer clicks from Spain. 5$/click for seo traffic

My (subjective) impression:
While it was on a US server, my connection to it was noticeably slower, compared to the UK server based website version in my native (identical in terms of everything, but language).
Now that it's been moved, when I use a "US VPN connection," and compare it to a "UK VPN connection," or no VPN at all, I don't see nearly as much difference.
So I suppose feedback from "real people" would be helpful.
Again - not chasing 0.5 s page load times, as long as it seems to "load normally," I'm happy.
Looks interesting. I checked out a few other themes as well - but keep coming back to GeneratePress. :-)

That annoying guy who just "steps" into the conversation:
GeneratePress is like most other themes available on wp.org:
You get the basic functionality for free, but you need to pay for having all the available options using just mouse-clicks.
Fortunately, it is very well documented, support is really excellent, so you can do most stuff with your custom code using a child theme.
For web-shops, I prefer Ocean WP, for all else - GeneratePress.

(I do not have answer to the query you posted reg google analytics. Can only think of older version )
GeneratePress free version is good enough, used with generateblocks it is adequate for most sites. During BF I picked up the paid version (not of generatebocks though) - customization options are slightly better. But nothing that can be achieved by child themes.
For 50 US Dollars, no cap on number of sites where the theme can be used. One of the better deals out there.
I get pagespeed of 92 mobile, without much optimization, Once I tweak images, might get 95 plus. Cannot complain on that count.

Hmm - noticed a strange thing - seems to have started about 10 days ago, and is domain-wide:
All the websites on my domain (bikegremlin.com) show basically zero visitors in Google Analytics, since the start of this February.
Hadn't changed anything with the tags, or plugins.
I use AMP, but the tracking code is added for AMP as well.
Websites on other domains aren't affected.
When I browse my website, Google analytics shows the pages I open in the "Active users" section (if I disable the AdBlocker, of course).
I tried using "incognito" browser mode with a VPN. Googling that way still shows all my pages in search results.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

Hi, does anyone know why using Cloudflare for one whole site is much more slower than using Cloudflare only for the images?
Do I configure it wrong? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks for the feedback? Only paid version I see is 59$/year or 259$ Lifetime https://generatepress.com/premium/
I realize there was a BF discount but maybe you were referring to another paid version alltogether?
Sounds good though! Might have a spin
