  • Scores are the ones Yoast stored the last time a post was analysed in the editor. A post that was never analysed shows no score (na). After a change from chat, a post keeps its old score until someone opens and saves it there.
  • Score lists cover published posts (not pages or drafts) and skip noindexed ones, up to 100 at a time.
  • Inclusive-language scores exist only when that analysis is switched on in Yoast.
  • Setting noindex, canonical or schema back to empty restores Yoast’s default. The post’s title and status stay as they are.
  • Your sitemap can be checked (ai-puffer/get-sitemaps): provider, on or off, address and search visibility. Noindexed, draft and private posts stay out of it. Nothing is submitted to search engines.
  • Redirects use the free Redirection plugin: see Redirection. Yoast Premium’s redirect manager isn’t tested.
  • The focus keyphrase ability is AI Puffer’s own, because Yoast doesn’t offer one.
