Hi Dave,

Thank you for your reply and for confirming.

We understand you are facing readability is not available. I am sorry for the situation you are facing. We are here to help.

From the screenshot, it seems you are not using the default block editor of WordPress. Are you adding the content from a page builder of your theme? If yes, please know that Yoast SEO can analyze the content and detect it correctly when added from the default block editor of WordPress.

I understand you would not want to change your theme, which may ruin the structure of your pages. However, please have a look at the workaround below:

Workaround:

We offer a workaround in such cases that you can use to avoid the limitation of page builder within Yoast SEO Premium.

First create a staging site.

Some popular web hosts offer quick setups for a staging site, so please contact your web host for assistance. They will probably be able to help you out. If your web host does not offer staging sites, the WordPress plugin repository offers staging plugins or you can create your own staging site.

Test the content from Staging site

Kindly log into your staging site, activate a default theme like Twenty Twenty three and also make sure you have the page builder deactivated. Then add the content of your post using the default WordPress block editor. Check the suggestions made by Yoast SEO Premium’s readability analysis, adjust the content as required. Once you are happy with the content, you can add the content back the page builder in your live site.

Why Yoast SEO’s readability analysis fails when content is added using a page builder:

Yoast SEO Premium analyzes the default WordPress content areas like the title, URL, the main content box (WordPress editor). If you are adding your content through other plugin or theme content boxes (as most page builders do), Yoast SEO Premium may not be able to detect it by default. Currently, we are compatible with the Elementor page builder. The Yoast SEO Elementor integration is free to use for everyone; no premium or add-on is required for core functionality.

If you are using another page builder, please understand that page builders commonly use a custom editor designed by their team. Because plugins rely on the default editor, some page builders make the data entered into their editor available in the default editor. In these cases, Yoast SEO will see and analyze the content as if created with the default editor. When this is not the case, an integration feature must be available to parse the page builder content into Yoast SEO for analysis.

It’s like opening a room to find a safe inside it. Unless you have the code to unlock the safe, you can only see the inside of the room. To get the code to open the safe, you must contact the person who set the unlock code. We have tried to automatically unlock and parse content from other plugins and themes with inferior results in the past. Therefore, we opted to provide an API that developers can use to unlock their content and pass it to our page analysis.

For a permanent fix, if you are using a plugin or theme that doesn’t send their content to our page analysis, please reach out to the author or developer to request an integration feature for better SEO compatibility. Our development team provides information about creating a custom integration here. Although our plugin does not detect your content and shows an incorrect analysis report from a content page builder, this does not affect how search engines crawl and analyze your site. Search engines process the front end of your site and will detect your content.

Feel free to let us know should you have additional questions on this.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your reply

We understand you are facing Readability: Not available from the Yoast SEO. I am sorry for the situation you are facing. We are here to help.

Kindly confirm you have configured the following settings:

Can you confirm you have the right user permissions? You can check by going to WordPress dashboard > Users >Profile >Yoast SEO settings (may need to scroll down) and confirm that both “Disable SEO analysis” and “Disable readability analysis” are not checked? Please remove checkmarks if you have any and then click save. Please check the screenshot attached to this email named “permission”.
Can you confirm that the SEO, Readability, and Insights are all enabled by going to Yoast SEO > Settings >Site Features and checking that SEO Analysis, Readability Analysis, and Insights are all set to ‘On’? Please check the screenshot attached to this email named “Settings”
Kindly make sure you have configured as suggested above. Then check if the issue exists.

We look forward to your reply.
