Performance, access issues with 3.0.x
-
I’m writing this to let the developers know that updating to the 3.0.x version of Yoast SEO severely broke the admin portion of my website. I had to downgrade to 2.3.5. Here are the issues I experienced:
1. Performance issues – After the upgrade, the admin panel of my website became sluggish and it took a while for any of the post editing tools to load/appear. This issue resolved with the downgrade to 2.3.5.
2. Access issues – After upgrading, members of the team were having issues accessing the admin panel of site at all. It would work, but after 3-5 clicks access would be shut down. Looking at the firewall logs (Sucuri web proxy) their IPs were being blocked for cross-site scripting. While I could whitelist their IPs, that would be a constant issue when they were traveling or if their home IPs changed.
I knew these were issues with the plugin, because the other site we have still used 2.3.5 and had no issues. Once I downgraded to 2.3.5 all of these issues went away.
I hope by sharing these problems the developers will work to correct them in future releases. Until then, I will not upgrade past 2.3.5 and I suggest that anyone looking to upgrade to test it first on a test/dev site to make sure it doesn’t cause the same issues as it did for me.
