This error is related to the use of Ryte. The Ryte check is a single call to the Ryte services. They, in turn, try to reach your website to see if it’s accessible / indexible by robots. If they see your website, this check passes. If you’re on a development / staging website, they probably can’t see your website and this health check will report an error.
The?cause?of these errors can lie anywhere on the route between your website and the Ryte servers.
? Your own website / server can have (security) protocols or even plugins or code in place that prevent this request from completing.
? The route over the internet from your website to Ryte can be broken somehow (extremely unlikely, but still).
? Some system in between your website and Ryte does not allow / process this call, maybe due to security reasons / because your website is on a blacklisted server.
While it’s not a nice error to see, it’s difficult to pinpoint why this happens. And it’s almost impossible for someone who is not the website owner / host to determine this.
Having said that, this is an error that does?not?influence your site rank in any way. If the error would say that your website can’t be found by search engines, that would be reason to investigate. You can read more in this article (?https://yoast.com/yoast-seo-ryte/?) and there are even a few links to run this test manually.
Additionally, if you wish to disable the Ryte check we have instructions on how to do this here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/disable-indexability-check/
