 * I just want to ask regarding this plugin issue. I was modifying the website for
   page optimization and have particularly used defer for JavaScript. I have been
   using Yoast as a plugin and the thing is, I’m not sure if it has something to
   do with the JavaScript modification that maybe plugins had been deactivated or
   something since it suddenly stopped showing the website in google when I search
   the website name.
    I’ve used Yoast and it was showing it in SERP but now it just
   suddenly stopped.
 * I was able to fix again the whole JavaScript thing so my concern is I want to
   know if Yoast will acknowledge and allow the website to show up in SERP again?
   
   I’m already using an SEO tool for the site audit and it’s showing a great result
   so I think it’s really a concern for the plugin.
 * Please help and kindly revert. Thank you

 * Hi [@marquiuae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289?hl=en)
   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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://yoast.com/ranking-signals/)
   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](https://yoast.com/ultimate-guide-content-seo/).
   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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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!
