Yoast SEO 2.3 helps you optimize your site showing you errors straight from Google Search Console, and pointing you at posts that need work.

Some of the changes we're most proud of:

Fully integrated with Google's new Search Console

Google has renamed its Webmaster Tools to Search Console recently and has also rolled out a new API for it. This release brings the power of Google's Search Console straight to your WordPress install. All the errors Google gets, you will be able to see in your WordPress install.

If you have Yoast SEO Premium, you'll even be able to fix those errors by redirecting the broken URLs. Through the integration, we'll mark them as fixed in Google Search Console too!

Point you at posts that need work

It's sometimes easy to just keep on writing new posts, when you actually have old posts that need work. The new dashboard widget we've added points you at exactly those post that need work.

Breadcrumbs in the Customizer

If your theme declares support for yoast-seo-breadcrumbs, you will get a Customizer panel for Yoast SEO breadcrumbs. Automagically.

More in this release

Yoast SEO now truly Yoast SEO

Everyone already did it, so we finally caved. The plugin formerly known as WordPress SEO by Yoast, will now officially be called Yoast SEO. for WordPress.

Less admin clutter

We've changed the default for the edit posts overview page. No longer will you see multiple columns from Yoast SEO, you'll now only see one small column with the SEO score image.

Just another WordPress site??

If your site has the default WordPress tagline "just another WordPress site", we'll actually give you a warning, asking you to change it.
