Great example of how not to publish a major update…
-
Yoast SEO has been my “go to SEO package” for several years now, but the V14 update is a great demonstration, in how NOT to deploy a mayor update.
A quick look at the most recent reviews reveals a plethora of complaints, errors and terrible experiences with the V14 update.
I have a test setup for my live sites and while sometimes I feel like it’s overkill and outdated to be that cautious, even well established developers like Yeost prove, that that kind of caution is correct over and over again. V14 rendered more than 50% of the test sites ineffectice in development environement – how low can you go with a live product?
The complaints prove that Yeost didn’t take beta testing seriously enough IMHO and felt like V14 was good enough to put out banana software to their users and let them do the troubleshooting.
It’s free after all, isn’t it?
…way to destroy confidence and trust in a product.
I’m super disappointed in the way this was published & handled.
…and at the same time greatful about how you’ve proven how important it is to be cautious and rely on one’s own instincts as a person who’s responsible for other people’s websites (directly related to their income + in a time of crisis).
