Tell us what you are trying to do?

Yoast Premium is not working as intended here is the trail mail.

Me: Hi, While working with yoast I'm trying to sort out how to make the readability to work perfect, so I'm having problems with transition words I do not know if using Toolset for my boat data has a problem with that or there is another solution to solve this. I would like some help with this to sort it out thanks 🙂

Yoast Reply: Thank you for writing in!

It sounds like the transition words assessment is not working as expected when using the Toolset Blocks plugin.

Toolset Blocks is a visual builder, so it may very well be the case that Yoast Premium is having trouble detecting all its content. This is because our plugin only analyzes the default WordPress content areas like the title, URL, and the main content box (WordPress editor). If you are adding your content through other plugin or theme content boxes (as most page builders do), the Yoast plugin might not be able to detect it by default.

In the past, we have tried to parse shortcodes and other content boxes with inferior results. Therefore, we opted to provide plugin and theme developers with an API that they can use to pass their content to our page analysis.

Since it sounds like the Toolset Blocks plugin isn't sending all their content to our page analysis, please reach out to the developer and ask them about adding the functionality to their code. This help article will help them with the implementation -- Can I add data to the page analysis?

With that being said, while our plugin isn't able to detect all your text blocks and shows an incorrect analysis report, this doesn't mean that search engines won't be able to parse them. Our content analysis is to validate the content of your website and doesn't really affect how search engines crawl and index your site.

A workaround might be to add all your content to the default WordPress editor, once you've checked Yoast Premium's feedback, you could then input the content into the Toolset Blocks.

We hope this has clarified some things. If you have any questions, we'd be happy to answer them!

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Can you please share temporary admin login details, along with the link to a page where you're having difficulty in using the Yoast's readability analysis?

I'll be in a better position to guide you with the next steps, accordingly.

Any news?

Hi,

Thank you for waiting while I performed some testing and research.
( on my test website and no changes were made on yours )

My observations are the same as the ones shared by the Yoast SEO's support.

The way Yoast's readability analysis feature works, it doesn't analyze the final content of the post/page that a visitor or search engines will actually see. Instead, it can only analyze what is added in the post/page body.
( example screenshot: hidden link )

But when working with modern or complex websites that don't use the post/page body, but use data from custom fields, content templates, or page builders, the readability analysis feature is unable to read that data.

We are reviewing this feature request to integrate and pass our dynamic data to Yoast's readability analysis feature, but I'm afraid, we don't have a time estimate to share at the moment.

For now, the best workaround would the one that their support has suggested already. To analyze certain content/text, you can temporarily include it in the post/page body and see the readability score and recommendations.

For example, you're constructing the content of the "Yachts charter" type posts through different custom fields. Whenever you need to do its readability analysis, you can paste their content in the post body, adjust it based on recommendations, and then add it back to the respective custom field.

I hope this helps.

regards,
Waqar
