Although you shouldn’t defrag your SSD, you do want to keep it running optimally and one way is to ensure you have TRIM enabled in the operating system, so that the OS tells the drive which blocks are no longer in use, allowing the SSD to “recycle” them. This allows the flash memory manager to use wear levelling more effectively.
