    Hi,

    In my article, Yoast SEO shows the following warning:

    Transition words: Only 17.6% of the sentences contain transition words, which is not enough.?Use more of them.

    I click “eye” button to highlight them. And in the first paragaph, there is such a statement highlighted(I use bold instead):

    Scanpst.exe, commonly known as the Microsoft Outlook Inbox Repair Tool, is a built-in utility designed to diagnose and repair corrupted PST (Personal Storage Table) files in Microsoft Outlook. This essential tool comes bundled with all versions of Microsoft Outlook and serves as the first line of defense when users encounter issues with their Outlook data files.

    So I edit the statement and add two transition words “Furthermore” and “therefore” to it, as below:

    Scanpst.exe, commonly known as the Microsoft Outlook Inbox Repair Tool, is a built-in utility designed to diagnose and repair corrupted PST (Personal Storage Table) files in Microsoft Outlook. Furthermore, this essential tool comes bundled with all versions of Microsoft Outlook and therefore serves as the first line of defense when users encounter issues with their Outlook data files.

    But the hightlight tool still highlight this statement with the same warning. Why?

    Do I need to save the change to make Yoast SEO notice the change? I have installed WP Rocket, do I need to clear the cache as well?

    Hello @chcw

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Transition words assessment in the readability analysis checks whether there are enough sentences containing transition words. It applies when there is at least 200 words in the text. Though that sentence is still highlighted, I recommend focusing on other parts of the content for which you haven’t added enough transition words.
