Hi @marquiuae,
We understand that you recently worked out on your website for page optimization and have particularly used defer for JavaScript. While there’s no interference of how Yoast SEO acknowledges with website’s JavaScript implementation on the website ranking and indexing, it could be other underlying causes or probably temporarily deindexed from the SERP. You can check to see how Google is crawling your site after defer JavaScript with the URL Inspection Tool inside Search Console. Additionally, check that if any noindex meta robot tag is visible in the page source that discourage SE from visibility while after doing the optimization.

Hello @suascat_wp,
Thanks for the revert.
So to be clear too, if under google search console and it’s not showing any error there for the no index part then it’s safe to say that the Yoast plugin is working properly with the website right? Like even after the whole optimization? because when I’m searching the URL of our domain with “site:” it’s actually showing the website but if it’s just the website name as it is, it’s not showing there on the first page which is odd because the last time I checked, it was always showing the website result on the first page.
But anyway, as long as it’s showing the website on SERP regardless of which page there’s no issue with the plugin, yea?
Hi @marquiuae,
If Yoast SEO is generating the correct meta tags, schema data, and sitemaps as it appears to be doing for your site, then we can confirm that the plugin is working and there isn’t a technical issue. Google Search Console only reads this information from pages, so it’s not able to tell you whether there are plugin errors.
If you’re not getting the search results that you’d like to see for a certain search term like your site name, there could be many factors that explain why. If pages from your site appear in Google’s search results using the “site:” keyword, then Google has indexed your site but isn’t ranking your pages as highly as others for your search term.
One solution is to continue to optimize your site. For example, are you using your website name as a keyphrase for any of your pages like the homepage? If not, does it help to add it as a focus keyphrase and then following some of the Yoast SEO suggestions to see if the changes help your site improve?

Hi @priscillamc,
Thank you for the prompt response. I will check further on this but I’m really glad to have clarification that it’s not an issue with the plugin.
Thank you again!
