Yoast SEO 20.2

In Yoast SEO 20.2, we've improved our innovative indexables technology. We've developed a faster and more reliable way of indexing your site's data. In turn, we make better use of this data to improve your site's SEO. Find out more about what's new in Yoast SEO 20.2 in our release post!

  • Changes the copy for notices in social profiles for person.

  • Improves the performance of image schema creation for really large images.

  • Removes person's social profiles form from first time configuration.

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where a fatal error would be thrown when building a hierarchy indexable when the parent indexable did not exists.
  • Fixes a bug where a fatal error would be thrown when the post type posts was excluded and the post overview was visited.
  • Fixes a bug where the settings page of a post type would not load when a special character like ט was added as permalink.

Other​
