Support » Plugin: Yoast SEO » The new readability rating (in German) is not helpful (put mildly)

    Unfortunately, Yoast SEO does not seem to recognise German conjunctions. Thus, it shows a red “smiley” for readability, even if one uses many conjunctions such as “dennoch”, “während”, “wenn-dann”, “und”, etc. etc.

    Furthermore, it seems to recognise the different German articles as one word and says: Do not use the same word three times in a row at the beginning of a sentence even if the articles are different from one another.

    Please fix that as it is very annoying and upsetting during the process of writing. Moreover, you are simply wrong.

    My style has not changed at all since you introduced your apparently altered rating system. The results, however, are different.

    Thank you.

    Hi @communicatiooptima,

    Thanks for your review.

    We are sorry to hear you’re having problems with the Yoast SEO plugin. We know how frustrating it’s when you get inaccurate analysis results in our plugin.

    The readability analysis in Yoast SEO is fully available in German, so the plugin should provide you with correct readability feedback.

    Can you please make sure you’re using the latest version of the plugin Yoast SEO v17.1 and WordPress v5.8.1? If you’re already up-to-date and the problem persists, we’d appreciate it if you could create a new topic in the plugin forum. Our support team will look into the issue and assist you further.

    Thanks!
