Customize the Yoast SEO readability analysis feature

The readability analysis in Yoast SEO focuses on the quality of your text, and it is available in multiple languages. High-quality content is an important ranking factor. That is why this feature is automatically enabled, and we definitely recommend using it. However, if for some reason you need to disable it, you can do that fully site-wide or per user. In this post, we guide you through the steps you need to take to disable or enable the readability feature.

This guide is about the readability tab. For the SEO analysis, please see this article.
