Yoast breaks Chrome (again!)

We apologize for any inconvenience. In order to better assist you, we’ll need more information.

• Are you running the latest version of WordPress and Yoast SEO plugin?
• Are you running the latest version of Chrome?
• Does the issue occur while all the non-Yoast plugins are disabled and the default 2017 theme is active?
• Is there any specific posts where the issue occurs for you?

Hi,
– yes
– yes
– yes

I have the same problem with Chrome (latest version).
My configuration has not changed in 2 years, everything is up to date (WordPress, theme, plugins).

– The error message is “Aw Snap something went wrong while displaying this web page ”

If I use Firefox, no more problem.

Hi,
– yes
– yes
– yes
– all posts / pages, everywhere the readability analyser does it’s job.

I don’t need assistance, i’m just saying that there is a problem with your plugin, because i’m definitely not the only one.
Disabling the readability analyzer fixes the issue too.
bye

Hi,
Disable “readability Analysis” in General-Yoast SEO, “Features” tab.

This seems to solve the problem.

This is strange and I cannot reproduce in a test environment with the previous steps reported in this bug.

So let’s check a few things:

1. What language is selected under Admin > Settings > General > Site Language?
2. What language is selected under Admin > Users > Your Profile > Language?
3. Have you downloaded a fresh translation file?
4. Which version are you using of Chrome, WordPress and Yoast SEO? Please provide the actual version number.
5. What OS (Windows, Mac, Linux?) and version are you using?
6. Does the issue happen in a specific post type?
7. Have you cleared your browser cache?
   – See KB: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-clear-my-browsers-cache/
8. Does the issue happen with new or existing content?
9. Does the issue happen with only Yoast SEO active on a default (Twenty Seventeen) theme.
10. Does the issue happen when copy/pasting this Polish Wiki article using Kodeks 0177 as the focus keyword?

Before you do the update of Chrome, yesterday, 0 problem.
-I wrote a post on October 17, everything was good.
-Chrome Update, on October 19, in the afternoon, I start at a post in the afternoon and the problem arrives, I refresh the page, the article comes back, I save in draft, return the error message.

On Firefox everything works, no problem, there I disabled “readability analysis”, weird I reactivated the function to copy/paste Kodeks 0177 and no error message.

Hi,
On my side, it breaks Chrome pages in admin only with very specific elements:
it seems to break only some Woocommerce products
I’ve tried to change some elements but I cannot identify what makes some products break Chrome & some other not. (tried tags, cat, cross sell, up sell without success)
hope this might help
using Avada, but other elements are same as for other folks
Thx
