Thanks for your response. I’ve been working on this post for a couple days now, and have actually improved the SEO analysis. Before that, I never saw the alert on my WP dashboard about this post needing improvement.
In fact, I have other posts with lower readability and SEO scores that don’t come up in the dashboard as “Needs Improvement.” That’s what’s confusing about what I’m seeing in the dashboard versus what I see when I edit the post.
It sounds like I pay attention to the rating I get when editing the post.
Thanks again.
