You might wonder about the impact of WordPress posts that are not published on your SEO or search engine optimization. Since Google uses speed as a ranking criterion, anything that adversely affects speed would theoretically be wrong for SEO. It shouldn’t have a significant influence if you’re talking about a few dozen. However, leaving unfinished, unpublished pieces on your website is a terrible practice and typically unnecessary. Instead, it is preferable to finish them off-site using an editor and then insert them into your website after they are complete to maintain a clean database. Unfinished pages are resource-intensive and include several photos that take up space; as a result, they may begin to slow down the website’s overall performance, primarily if you use shared hosting, which has resource limitations.
