About article metadata setting bug

    Hello, I use the Yoast SEO plug-in to set up the metadata of the article and the following situation occurs. I judge that this should be a bug of the Yoast SEO plug-in.

    If you use the Yoast SEO plug-in, you set the tag attribute name to the meta tag of “description”.
    The Chinese characters in the content attribute of this tag cannot exceed 50 Chinese characters. As long as this number of characters is exceeded, when the web page is rendered,
    The content attribute in the source code of the web page will become blank. In other words, search engines will not read the metadata of this web page.

    But the strange thing is that even if there are more than 50 Chinese characters, the search appearance of Yoast SEO can still display mobile device search and desktop search normally.
    The Chinese in the metadata settings of your article will be displayed normally.

    The above is a question about Chinese. I also tried setting an article to only have English letters or numbers. The test result is that no matter how many English letters, numbers or symbols you enter in the metadata,
    When the web page is displayed, the meta tag whose tag attribute name is “description” will only be placed in the content attribute of this tag at most.
    120 English letters or numbers.

    in conclusion:

    If the metadata of the setting exceeds 50 Chinese characters in Chinese, the metadata of the webpage will be blank when the webpage is rendered, which will have a negative impact on search engine reading.

    If the metadata contained in the metadata exceeds 120 English letters, numbers or symbols, when the webpage is rendered, the metadata of the webpage will only display these 120 letters, numbers or symbols.

    If the metadata contains Chinese characters, the aforementioned Chinese problem will occur.

    I just tested it again and set up metadata for article pages containing Chinese. As long as there are more than 3 blank symbols, the same problem I reported before will occur. However, as long as there are less than 4 blank symbols, Yoast SEO will automatically help you.

    Extract about 50 Chinese characters and put them into the metadata displayed on the web page.


    Therefore, if the metadata of the article page for SEO contains Chinese characters, the metadata should not contain more than 3 blank symbols. This is the situation I have measured so far.

    As for whether there are other situations, I There are no guarantees either.
