To do this, go to the Yoast SEO dashboard, then click on the &#8220;General&#8221; tab. In this tab, you will see a list of settings that you can configure. In the first setting, you will find the option for &#8220;SEO analysis.&#8221; This option is enabled by default, but you can disable it if you don&#8217;t want to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next setting is the &#8220;Readability analysis&#8221; option. This option is also enabled by default, and it checks the readability of your content. You can disable it if you want to, but it&#8217;s a good idea to keep it enabled to ensure your content is easy to read.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next setting is the &#8220;Cornerstone content&#8221; option. This option is disabled by default, but you can enable it if you want to mark some of your content as cornerstone content. Cornerstone content is the most important content on your website and should be given more attention by search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next setting is the &#8220;Text link counter&#8221; option. This option is enabled by default, and it counts the number of internal and external links in your content. In case you don&#8217;t want to use it, you can disable it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last setting is the &#8220;Admin bar menu&#8221; option. This option is enabled by default, and it adds a Yoast SEO menu to the WordPress admin bar. Disabling it is an option if you&#8217;d rather not use it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b27af71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b27af71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/preview.wpelemento.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/general-setting-yoast.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9740\" alt=\"general-setting-yoast\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preview.wpelemento.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/general-setting-yoast.png 1200w, https:\/\/preview.wpelemento.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/general-setting-yoast-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/preview.wpelemento.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/general-setting-yoast-64x36.png 64w, https:\/\/preview.wpelemento.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/general-setting-yoast-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/preview.wpelemento.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/general-setting-yoast-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/preview.wpelemento.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/general-setting-yoast-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/preview.wpelemento.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/general-setting-yoast-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e031b82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e031b82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Configure the search appearance settings<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next step is to configure the search appearance settings.
