Should I use WordPress Multisite Network because of SEO?

by @vsalgadinho (125), 2 years ago

Hi guys!

I read somewhere that too many plugins can sometimes affect the performance of a website, due to plugin conflicts, the way they were coded, etc. I am not an SEO expert, so I am not sure about the veracity of this argument, but I would like to know your opinion about this.

In case there is some truth in this argument, I thought about creating a multisite network in WordPress using a subdomain configuration - as I read that these are treated by search engines as different sites, so, the performance of one site will not affect the others.

So, basically, my idea would be to create 3 sites within one WP network (my root site, the e-commerce site, and the LMS site). However, only my root site would be used as a storefront to generate traffic. This would allow me to focus only on the SEO of my main site.

What are your thoughts?

If your WordPress website is working well with proper page load time then there is no issue with SEO. There shouldn't be any confusion in this regard.

Hey man, thanks for posting this! I've had the same doubts for the last couple of weeks, and I really need some good advice. The fact that I'm quite new to the WordPress world doesn't help, either. However, I must admit that WordPress is an incredibly useful thing. Being an accountant, I have no idea how I lived without it for so many years! By the way, if you're also an accountant in need of help, check out the https://prosvit.design/websites-for-accountants/ link. It helped me a lot! Cheers.

If the plugins are well optimized, there's nothing to worry about. Once, I saw a plug that allows you to disable the loading of plugins on individual subpages, but I don't remember its name.

Hi @lucasbenjamin,

I have done also some research on this but I am still unsure about the benefits of using a multisite network, especially when it comes to SEO. Let's hope someone can help us with this and in case you find some useful information about this subject, share it here. I will do the same.
