2. Content Types
These are somehow a bit advanced settings for newbies and if you are not familiar with such settings, you can leave them as default for now.
This search setting means how you want to display the posts and pages in search results. The 3 settings for every post and page are:
- Show posts
- Show Date
- SEO meta box
3. Media & Attachment URLs
It is recommended to enable this setting as it will redirect an attachment URL to the attachment itself. What is an attachment URL? Well, its simple to understand when we upload an image while writing a post or page, Yoast just does not save that image but also creates a dedicated URL for the image which is called as attachment URL. These attachment URLs are empty because of an image and it’s title, that’s why its recommended to keep them disabled.
4. Taxonomies
Showing categories, tags, formats and menu categories in the search results, please enable them if you want to show users the category of each post.

Hi Faisal,
Great article! Yoast has been very popular over the years for SEO but now Rank Math is taking over!
Rankmath is overing several features for free (and can be implemented easily) that Yoast gives only on premium subscription.
I’ve moved most of my client sites to Rank Math and am seeing good results. Have a look 🙂

Thanks Resham for going through the article and putting forward a valuable suggestion. Yeah I’ve been thinking about moving to RankMath as I am not much happy with Yoast due to limited features in free version.
