 * Hi there,
 * When trying to optimize the data for the first time use, I get
    `Oops, something
   has gone wrong and we couldn't complete the optimization of your SEO data. Please
   click the button again to re-start the process. If the problem persists, please
   contact support`
 * But there is no error code. Look here: [https://prnt.sc/uoMDK4RmtuSU](https://prnt.sc/uoMDK4RmtuSU)
 * What could this be caused by?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@gcsaudi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gcsaudi/)
 * We have seen this notice appear for sites where the previously optimized data
   is invalid or when there is a plugin or theme conflict.
 * **The first step is creating regular backups of your site and database for your
   site’s health and safety.** A backup is crucial before installing, updating, 
   or removing plugins and provides you with a safety net if something were to go
   wrong. Learn more about the [benefits of regular backups](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-backup-your-wordpress-site/).
 * To reset the data, please follow these steps:
    - Kindly install & activate the [Yoast Test Helper](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yoast-test-helper/)
      plugin
    - Go to your WordPress admin dashboard > Tools (sidebar) > Yoast Test
    - Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’,‘
      Reset Prominent words calculation, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons.
      After each click, the page will reload to confirm that each reset was successful.
    - Open browser console area to check for JavaScript errors with your browser’s
      console. If you see errors, check the known error codes listed here. If the
      error is not listed, provide us with a screenshot of the error.
    - Then try to run SEO data optimization. Does it show any error in the browser
      console? If yes, kindly share with us screenshot.
