seo score drops suddenly

Hi there at RankMath,

Todays update of the free version makes it impossible to get a green seo score. Where I normally score 84-87 I know don’t get above 79. Has something changed in the Math?

All greens accept for:

Basic SEO:
Content is 356 words long. Consider using at least 600 words

Additional:
– Add an image with your Focus Keyword as alt text.
– Use Content AI to optimise the Post

Title readability:
Your SEO title doesn’t contain a number.

Content readability:
Use Table of Content to break-down your text.

This is pretty normal for any of our 22.000+ posts we have. So can you tell me what has changed please?

I now have to place two or three empty imageblocks in my post to get it to 81 score. Not a nice solution, I think.

See my screenshots:

Your help is appreciated.
