Improvements for Yoast SEO 22.7

In essence, we have been performing some spring cleaning on the plugin in order to improve performance. We have removed unnecessary queries and fixed bugs in order to enhance the user experience.

Elementor community slug override fix

One particularly noticeable fix is tailored to meet the needs of our Elementor community. Previously, when you saved a post using Elementor for the first time, the slug would stubbornly include the word ‘Elementor’ at the beginning. Yoast SEO 22.7 is now available. Say goodbye to those unnecessary redirects when you update to Yoast SEO 22.6!

Schema updates for product variants

A complex issue for many e-commerce sites, structured data for product variants, was addressed by Google in February 2024. This will help them match customer intent with results more effectively online. If you have searched for a specific t-shirt color and the search results returned a different colored t-shirt, you may be familiar with the shopper’s experience.

With Yoast WooCommerce SEO 16.2, we have updated our product schema to better communicate product attributes to search engines. As a result, your products will match potential shoppers’ search criteria as closely as possible.

This is an excellent opportunity to ensure the accuracy of all of your site’s product variants. For further guidance, please refer to our Yoast WooCommerce SEO configuration guide.
