False keyword counting

Hello, we’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with the keyword counting in Rank Math. It seems like the keywords that were initially set up as per the recommendations and were all green have now turned red after publishing the article.

This could be due to various reasons such as changes in the content, updates to the search engine algorithms, or other factors. To fix this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Flush SEO Analysis Cache: Sometimes, the test results might be cached. You can flush the SEO analysis data by heading over to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Status and Tools > Database Tools and clicking the Clear SEO Analysis button against the Flush SEO Analysis Data option. Then run a fresh analysis by clicking the Start Site-Wide Analysis button under Rank Math > SEO Analysis.

2. Check Content Changes: Review the content to see if there have been any changes that might have affected the keyword optimization.

If after trying these steps, the issue persists, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team here. We’re available 24/7, 365 days a year and we’re always here to help.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for the inconvenience this may have been caused due to that.

This issue is usually caused by some sort of blockage on the route to save the metadata on the website, a conflict with plugins, a javascript error or a firewall-related issue.

Here is how you can fix it:

• Firstly, ensure that you have the latest version of Rank Math installed on your site.
• Check if your firewall or security plugin is blocking access to Rank Math’s files. You can do this by looking at your firewall logs and seeing if there are any blocked requests to these files:

/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateSchemas
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateRedirection
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getFeaturedImageId
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getHead

• If you see any blocked requests, you need to whitelist Rank Math and its files in your firewall or security plugin settings.
• Check if there are any JavaScript errors that might be preventing Rank Math from saving the keyword. You can do this by using the Chrome Developer Tools or any other browser’s developer tools. You can follow our guide on how to check JavaScript errors. If you find any errors, you can share them with us using this tool
• Check if there are any plugin conflicts that might be interfering with Rank Math. You can do this by following our plugin conflict tutorial. If you find any conflicting plugins, let us know.

Thank you for choosing Rank Math.
