Internal Link Counter

    Hi,

    In case it is helpful at all, the site I am having trouble on is:
    https://www.tripointflooring.com/

    Rank Math was counting the Post internal links, but not the Pages internal links. https://ibb.co/MDqfgXd
    https://ibb.co/QP0rKsG
    After researching Help topics related the the link counter, I opted to remedy the issue by deleting the internal links. Of course I was hoping it would reset the counter. It definitely worked…. halfway… Now the link counter says there are zero links for everything. Do I need to do something to nudge Rank Math to go ahead and count the links on all the Pages & Posts?

    Also, the Overall Optimization tool on the Analytics Dashboard. It has never analyzed all my site data. Currently, it appears to “see” 63 pages, and has for some time…. Out of the 63 total, Rank Math says it has No Data for 43 of those pages. How do I get Rank Math to analyze all the pages & posts?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    Are you using a page builder on your site? If so, could you please share so we can check?

    For the overall optimization chart, could you please confirm if you have imported the data from any other SEO plugin? If yes, that is the reason why Overall Optimization shows No Data in Analytics.

    The tests work when you open the post or page and then the JS for calculating the test runs. You will need to open the post, let the tests run, make optimizations based on our recommendations, save the post/page and the score will get propagated to the list view and the Analytics.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I am not using a page builder exactly, more a website builder, Oxygen.

    The site use to have Yoast. I did not personally make the swap from Yoast SEO to Rank Math on the site. I assume, and it only makes sense that, they would have imported the data over, but cannot confirm.

    For the Link Counter • I tried your suggestion with both Pages & also Posts, and it is only working for the Posts. The links are now being counted for the Posts, once I click into EACH post separately, wait for it to run, then publish. However, this same method is not working for the Pages. None of the links in any of the Pages are appearing in the counter, no matter how I edit/publish the page. Is there another solution?

    As for the Overall Optimization tool on the Rank Math Analytics Dashboard • Nothing I do is making this tool update the Overall Optimization stats. It appears several os the Posts/Pages are appearing in BOTH the Good & also the No Data Site Analytics Dashboard?

    I believe the Rank Math package on the site is the Pro version. It’s Rank Math Business. Idk if that could potentially enable any additional hand holding here for me or not? I’ve been clicking through this trying to figure it out for days. I need a solution.

    Again, Thank You 4 Your Time & Assistance

    Hello,

    Rank Math is now fully compatible with oxygen builder.
    To know more about it, please check the link here:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/is-rank-math-seo-compatible-with-oxygen-builder/

    If you are not sure if you’ve migrated properly from Yoast to Rank Math, we recommend the following steps from our Knowledge Base article here:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/yoast-seo-migration/

    Once done, let’s try deleting old imported data and start the fresh data fetch. Please follow these steps.

    1. Head over to WP Dashboard >> Rank Math >> Tools & Status and click the ‘Rebuild Index’

    2. Head over to WP Dashboard >> Rank Math >> General Settings >> Analytics tab, and click the ‘Delete Data’ button and then click the ‘Update Data Manually’

    3. It will start the new data fetch from Google. You can reload the page to see the notice related to the import process.

    4. Once the process is complete. Please recheck the Analytics page.

    Please let us know how that goes. We really look forward to helping you further.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    I believe rebuilding the index has properly reset Rank Math Analytics. Thanks!

    However, the link counter for the Pages is still not working. It is working for the Posts, just not the Pages.

    Thank You

    Is there not a less time consuming method to get the link counter to count the Posts? Currently the only way it’s counting is if I click into each and every one of the Posts and then click update.

    Hello,

    Sorry to disappoint you but that process needs to be followed. In order to check your content, it should be completely loaded first. That’s why the scripts only runs in the post editor after all the content is loaded so it can check every bit of your post’s content and give you an accurate analysis.

    However, if it is still not working for pages, assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.

    To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    If the issue persists, please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Do all the pages on your website are built with the Oxygen Builder? If that’s the case that would explain the reason why the links are not counting here.

    Our link counter only searches for URLs inside the post_content on the database and if you use Oxygen Builder on the pages that entry will be empty so the links won’t be accounted for.

    Hope this helps clarify your doubts.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Hello,

    Since we did not hear back from you for 15 days, we are assuming that you found the solution. We are closing this support ticket.
