Readability – Calculation incorrect for existing wordings

The words “schlie?lich” and “dementsprechend” do seem to be included in the list of transition words used by Yoast SEO. See https://github.com/Yoast/YoastSEO.js/blob/develop/js/researches/german/transitionWords.js

Can you please copy/paste a sentence that Yoast SEO is incorrectly detecting as not having a transition word? Please, notice that the eye icon function highlights the sentences that DO contain a transition word.

@monbauza: Thanks, for your quick reply. Did you had a look at the screenshots I have linked? Than you can check, that “the eye icon function DOES NOT highlight the sentences that DO contain a transition word.”

This is only one example:

Schlie?lich ist das Templatedesign ein musterbasiertes Modell für zukunftsorientierte Softwareanwendungen.

I experienced – like some others also did, that the semantic algorithm does not seem to work properly to check and calculate ratings correctly. It helps, but the ratings are definitely not correct.

Anyway you are offering a fine tool, but I would like to help to improve that it also does what it should do… ??

Hi @inztitut, thanks for the clarification.

We tried to replicate this issue in our testing environment but to no avail. See screenshot. The transition words do seem to be detected.

Can you please make sure you’re running the latest version of WordPress 4.8.1 and Yoast SEO 5.2?

If you’re already up-to-date and the problem persists, can you try and gather as much information for us as possible? Please perform the following:

2. Check for conflicts.
3. Check for JavaScript errors with your console.

If you find any JavaScript errors related to Yoast SEO or if there is a conflict with a plugin or a theme, you can create a new GitHub issue for our developers. Please report the issue to a third party developer as well.

If you didn’t find any conflicts or errors, we think the issue is specific to your site. We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.

We do used Yoast 5.2, and now just upgraded to 5.3.2 using WordPress 4.8.1.
So your system requirements are fullfilled.

The hint seems to go to JavaScript:

But as far as I do understand the error correct this is only related to the link count. And the link count should not be related to the semantic counts.

It would be very kindfull if you could check if there could be some optimization.
I would also like to support you in sending you the total text for further analysis or to provide you per PN or eMail with the direct URL if you like.

Hi,

We understand there maybe a JavaScript error. Were you able to perform a complete conflict check as described here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/?

If you do a conflict with a plugin or a theme, you can create a new GitHub issue here: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/new for our developers. Please report the issue to a third party developer as well.

If you didn’t find any conflicts or errors, we think the issue is specific to your site. We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium here: https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/ and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.
