Do I need to clean Yoast data

    Hi team!

    I just went through the Rank Math wizard to import my data from Yoast, and it all appeared to work. I’m wondering if I still need to clean the Yoast data after going through the wizard, or if the wizard did that automatically. I see that there’s a “Clean” setting under “Import & Export.” Please let me know if I should run this.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. After importing your data from Yoast to Rank Math using the setup wizard, you will still need to clean the Yoast data from your database. This is an important step to ensure that your website’s performance is optimized and that there are no leftover traces of the Yoast SEO plugin.

    To clean the Yoast data after moving to Rank Math, please follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export.
    2. Scroll down to the “Other Plugins” section.
    3. Click on the “Clean” button to erase the database records of the Yoast SEO plugin.

    Once you click on the “Clean” button, you will receive a confirmation message. Upon confirmation, all traces of your old SEO plugin will be removed.

    If you have any further questions or need assistance with this process, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team here.

    Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with!
