Making wordpress extremely slow

  • I only have this plugin activated when I am NOT online as it is making WordPress extremely slow. At first I thought it was my internet connection or browser, but then I noticed how my homepage was acting normal and that I only had issues when using wordpress. After turning off the plugins one by one I finally reached this plugin in the bottom and wordpress got soooo much faster. Before it could take more than 5 minutes to load a page, now it takes less that 5 seconds. It is beyond horrible that such a popular plugin can damage your site performance so badly and they dont seem to try to fix it as people are complaining about it a lot. All in all it is a really bad plugin with good intentions.

  • Thanks for the feedback @japanoholic !

    We are sorry to hear that you were having performance issues with our plugin. We would like to clarify that Yoast SEO does not directly cause a site to be slow. It can occur for various reasons, such as a conflict with other plugins or themes. Site speed depends on a lot of factors. Kindly check the following article?How to speed up your site?where we have added tips for increasing site speed.

    To investigate the issue, you may check the following:

    1. Please make sure the website is meeting the necessary?plugin requirements?and the rest of your plugins and themes are up-to-date
    2. Are you using visual page builders or editors that replace the default WordPress editor?
    3. Does it resolve the issue if you go to?WordPress?>?Yoast SEO?>?Settings?>?General?>?Site features?and disable the?Insights feature?
    4. Could you check if you’ve already completed the SEO Data Optimization process under?Yoast SEO?>?Tools?
    5. If you go to Yoast SEO > Settings and disable the?Text Link Counter,?Insights, and?Link Suggestions,?does the issue still happen?
