Incorrect analysis results

Hello Stf,

Thanks for reaching out about the content analysis for your post. Can you please let me know how you add the content? Could you share a screenshot of what it looks like when you go in to edit the post?

Hello @maybellyne,

Here is a screenshot:

Thank you.

Thanks for the helpful screenshots, @stfa76 but I agree with the analysis:

• Outbound links: No outbound links appear in this page. Add some!
  There are no links that point?to some other domain from within your site.
• Images: No images appear on this page. Add some!
  I don’t see an image
• Internal links: No internal links appear in this page, make sure to add some!
  There’s no link to another page on your site
• Text length: The text contains 23 words. This is far below the recommended minimum of 300 words. Add more content.
  The text in the editor has just 23 words

Hello @maybellyne,

Obviously, the shortcode in the editor is replaced when looking at the final rendered post on the website.

Where you can see that there are both internal and external links, there is an image and the post is way longer than just 23 words (there are at least 800 words).

The Yoast Analysis was perfectly capable of detecting all that in the shortcode prior to this week’s update to Yoast Version 21.4.

Is there a way to fix this issue please?

Best regards,
Stf.

Hi,

Here is another example with this page.

There are outbound links, internal links, image and the text length is way over 30 words.

Here is the analysis and the text from the editor:

Prior to Yoast last week release version 21.4, the plugin was working fine and was perfectly capable of parsing the shortcode.

Thousands of my website’s pages are impacted by this issue.

Is there a way to fix this issue please?
Thank you.

Best regards,
Stf.

The Yoast SEO analyzes the default WordPress content areas like the title, URL, and the main content box (WordPress editor). Since you are adding your content through a shortcode, Yoast SEO may not be able to detect it by default. Currently, we are compatible with the Elementor page builder. The?Yoast SEO Elementor integration?is free to use for everyone; no premium or add-on is required for core functionality.

Although our plugin does not detect your content and shows an incorrect analysis report, this does not affect how search engines crawl and analyze your site. Search engines process the front end of your site and will detect your content.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

For your information, as I already mentioned earlier, the parsing of the shortcode by the analysis feature was working perfectly fine with Yoast version 21.3 and all the prior versions.

This bug appeared with 21.4 which was released last week.

Best regards,
Stf.
