Great Plugin, Terrible Update – Needs Urgent Fix

I’ve used Yoast for many years across hundreds of websites and have always considered it a reliable and effective SEO tool. However, the recent update introducing the split-screen interface has made the plugin practically unusable in its current form.

The new layout is incredibly awkward, especially for those of us not working on 4K displays. It dramatically reduces the space available for editing content and navigating key features, making basic tasks unnecessarily frustrating. It feels like this redesign was implemented without considering real-world usage or the workflows of professionals who rely on Yoast daily.

At this point, it’s difficult to continue recommending or using the plugin, and unless things change very quickly, I will be seeking alternative solutions to what has, up to now, been a great tool. I sincerely hope the development team listens to user feedback and brings back the more practical, user-friendly interface we’ve come to depend on. Should that happen, I’ll be more than happy to revise my rating accordingly.
