Hello @trevish
Thanks for reaching out about the SEO data optimization. Since version 14.0, Yoast SEO stores metadata for all pages in a separate database table. This lets us fetch a page’s metadata in one simple database request (rather than many individual requests), resulting in much faster page loads.
Before 14.0, we stored metadata like titles and meta descriptions in different places for different types of pages. This data must be migrated to the new table for everything to work best. To do this, Yoast SEO will ask you to index your site’s SEO data. This is what happens when you run the data optimization analysis.
