MetaMax is meant to be a lightweight and super simple replacement for Yoast SEO. He does not have the advanced GUI or content analysis that Yoast SEO offers, but instead focuses on good standards and less noise — all ready to go in one click. MetaMax is also more performant than Yoast SEO, and will not have the same impact on your pageload. But of course you always cache your site anyways, right? Made with passion by Appex!
