And this is streamline your entire plugin suite. If you're using any kind of cash asset cleanup or lazy loading plugin, you can replace all of these with WP Rocket for all of those third party scripts and tags.
I know you guys are adding these plugins individually. You can remove all the plugins and just use Google Tag Manager.
If you've got Rank Math on your site, there is no need for any of these other SEO plugins. I could have included a load more plugins here.
This is one of the areas that I see the most plugin bloat. To be honest, I'd rather that you didn't use any plugins at all for this and you just did it in your theme files.
But if you're not comfortable with that, WPCode is gonna cover all of these features without the plugin bloat...
