 * At this point I’m calling Yoast a SCAM and do not recommend anyone use it. I 
   am in the process of moving away from Yoast because of it’s terribly slow performance
   and tanking every other plugin or feature. It makes Site Kit crash, and blocks
   Redirect plugin (free); probably because it is trying to charge premium $8 per
   month for the same service. SCAM. Burn in a hellfire Yoast.

 * Hi [@damojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/damojo/).
 * We’re sorry to hear that you’ve had such a negative experience with the Yoast
   SEO plugin. We’d like to try and address the concerns you’re facing.
 * If you’re experiencing any issues or conflicts such as Site Kit, if you could
   open a forum thread or reach out to support directly (with a premium subscription),
   and provide specific details such as screenshots of the error or specific notices,
   we’d like to know about it and address it.
 * As for blocking the Redirection plugin, we’re not familiar with this conflict.
   The redirect manager is available in Yoast SEO Premium, but you should still 
   be able to use the free version of Yoast SEO with other plugins like Redirection.
   Could you also provide more details on what “block” you’re experiencing so we
   can undersand this further?
 * We don’t agree when you say that the plugin is a “scam”, as we do try our best
   to ensure that it is secure, has sensible and useful features that help you optimize
   and improve your website and its content, and the SEO as a whole. We don’t “tank”
   other plugins, as you may know, new features and new releases will always have
   the possibility for plugin conflicts and compatibility issues, which we try our
   best to address with future plugin updates or patch releases.
 * As for the plugin having terribly slow performance, this varies on a lot of factors
   such as your own website’s requirements in terms of WordPress version, PHP, server
   memory, how much content is on the website itself, all which are different from
   website to website. We try to make sure our plugin is performant and works well
   for most sites, however, we do understand if there are outliers or websites with
   custom or special implementations that don’t work well with the default setup
   of the plugin. If you could share some more information or reach out to support
   again, we’d like to try and address this as well.
