    Hi,

    I manage a sitee made with Divi.
    In the top of the page there is an image slider.
    This prevents Yoast SEO from seeing the presence of the keyphrase in the first paragraph.
    In fact, if I remove the slider the phrase is correctly identified by Yoast SEO.
    I think it’s a common problem, since many pages have a slider at the top.
    There is a solution?
    Thank you
    Simone

  • Hi @drauth,

    Thank you for reaching out today!

    The keyword not in first paragraph warning is often thrown out as there is an HTML element, code, image, or whitespace around the keyword which is affecting Yoast’s ability to scan for it, as you rightly pointed out.

    Please, refer to this KB article for more information which outlines how to resolve it: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/warning-focus-keyword-not-in-first-paragraph/.

    If you believe your post has been written well for your target audience and moving elements around may result in a poor user experience, we would suggest ignoring the warning. Google will still be able to scan the source code and index the content. Indeed, you should never move elements around or change your focus keyword just to get a green dot. This guide explains more: https://yoast.com/want-green-bullet-wp-seo/.

    This doesn’t mean that Google and other search engines won’t be able to see it, so if your first paragraph does contain your focus keyword, you can safely ignore this warning.

    Hi @drauth,
