Hi @mpedersen
We understand you have a concern where the indexable table has several hundred thousands of rows in the database.
Is this a relatively large website? If you have tons of content such as thousands and thousands of pages, that would explain why the indexables data would be a lot.
But could you check if that is the case? Or is it that it’s strange if you had a small to moderate sized website (that wouldn’t coincide with the hundred thousand rows) there is data that is repeated in the indexables database?
You’ve mentioned that you’ve already completed the SEO data optimization process.
`Can you please try resetting our indexables in the database tables by following the steps below?
1. Install & activate the?Yoast Test Helper plugin
2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test
3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation’, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that each reset was successful. Note: Resetting the optimization doesn’t undo any of the hard work you’ve put into the plugin as the SEO data is also stored in WordPress’ default tables. It’ll just reset the custom Yoast tables that contain the combined data pulled from those default tables.
4. Go to SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your?content.
For your site’s health and safety, we recommend creating regular backups of your site and database. This is especially important before installing, updating, or removing plugins.
Can you check after resetting and re-running the SEO data optimization process, are you still encountering the same issue?
