Some content is updated from json

    I have a number of articles on my site where the bulk of the content comes from parsing a json file, which is refreshed weekly from an external source, then cached locally. Essentially, I write a two or three paragraph post, the rest is fed in once the post is published and will regularly change – though not that much.

    It’s hard to get a decent score on these posts with only about 200-300 words and one occurrence of the key phrase.

    What I want to know is if the scores I see are artificially low, given that the live page will have thousands of words and a reasonable number of additional instances of the key phrase. Or would I be better off using the json output to update the database rather than just rendering it on the page?

    Hello @dochara,

    Thank you so much for getting in touch.

    The lower score in Rank Math is expected because Content Analysis only evaluates content present in the WordPress editor. Content added dynamically from your JSON file after publishing isn’t included in the analysis.

    If your JSON content is rendered server-side and visible in the page source, search engines can still crawl and index it. However, Rank Math won’t account for it unless it’s stored in the post content (in the database).

    To get a more accurate score, you could integrate the JSON output into the saved post content, though this is optional since the score itself doesn’t affect rankings.

    Hope that helps.
