Hello @tosonno
I’m sorry about your experience with the Yoast SEO meta box. I have addressed your concerns below:
Missing Readability Tab
Can you confirm the version of WordPress and Yoast SEO you’re currently on?
- Confirm that you have the right user permissions? You can check by going to WordPress > Users > Your Profile > Yoast SEO settings. Ensure that Disable SEO analysis and Disable readability analysis are unchecked
- Confirm that the SEO, Readability, and Insights features are all enabled in WordPress > Yoast SEO > Settings > General > Site Features > Writing
- Confirm that SEO and Readability are enabled on the posts/pages in WordPress > Yoast SEO > Settings > Content Types. Ensure that the Yoast SEO Meta box is set to “Show”
- Confirm if you go to the post/page and click on Screen Options (in the top right) that all the right options are enabled? If you are using the new Gutenberg editor you will need to click on the dots in the corner and select options.

SEO Tab Unusable
Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.
Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.
If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts
If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our Yoast SEO Premium plugin comes with one year of (technical) support.
