SEO score drops after adding a button.

    Hi,
    I’m testing / learning Rankmath on a local hosted test site. I notice a big drop in my SEO score for that page when I add a button. I see the tests fail even the wordcount is dropping from 416 words to 4 words (the amount of words in my button). It is also stating that the focus keyword is not in headings, title and such. That’s not true for sure. See the screenshots….

    Note that the button is present in the screenshot with the low score and absent with the higher score.
    What am I doing wrong here? Is it a bug?

    Cleaning my browser cache, restarting my local MAMP server and even restarting my machine did not solve anything.

    I hope to hear from you soon as I am puzzled…..

    Best wishes,

    Adri

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.

    Apologies for the delay as we currently have a high volume of tickets here in our support forums.

    Could you please confirm if that button is from a custom block?

    Please also share the name of the theme that you’re using so we can check.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hey Reinelle,
    Thank you for your reply. Sorry to hear that you guys are very busy with support tickets…. I do hope it is not a sign of quality drop haha. I trust it is not.

    The button is from a block: Kadence advanced button. That answers your question about the theme too. I’m using Kadence theme with a lifetime PRO subscription.

    I hope this will help yout ro figure i out.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    Kadence Advance blocks had recent compatibility issues with Rank Math content analysis. We believe they have resolved the issue in v3.1.21 so please make sure your Kadence and Rank Math plugins are all up to date.

    If this is still not working with the latest versions of the plugins, then please report this to the Kadence team so they can resolve it.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation

    You were right. Although I had updated all my plugins (so I was on the latest versions) going back and forth a bit with the plugins did the trick.

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    Hello,

    We are super happy that this resolved your issue. If you have any other questions in the future, know that we are here to help you.
