Hey alluser,
Are you properly managing your WordPress category pages?
Typically I have found that most website owners simply ignore them.
But you shouldn't do that!
Just last year, I got nearly 200,000 visitors just on the category pages of my website!
And these pages have some of the highest retention and lowest bounce rate because people visiting them are really interested the topic.
So I have created an actionable guide on how to properly manage categories in WordPress. It also has tips on deleting unused categories, merging related categories, and more.
For your reference, WPBeginner site only has 8 categories, and I have been blogging for over 13 years now.
When it comes to categories, less is more :)
