 * I also have this.
 * My site is barely unusable from 5 months to this part. The problem must be related
   with the indexables…
 * I also tried to put this **on my dev machine** and I found this message on dev
   tools console:

 * [@scalero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scalero/) We’re sorry to hear 
   you’re experiencing this issue of receiving the “something went wrong while optimizing
   the SEO data of your site” warning.
 * To resolve this, could you please try the following?
    -  • Install & activate the [Yoast Test Helper plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yoast-test-helper/)
      •
      Go to **Tools -> Yoast Test** • Hit the “**Reset indexables & migrations” **
      button • Click the **“Click here to speed up your site now”** button.
 * Does that resolve the issue?

 * Hi [@devnihil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devnihil/) does my message
   help? Should I open one topic to this?
 * I’m asking because I already tried the solution that you proposed to [@scalero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scalero/)
   and it did not work …
 * In fact, this is a serious problem on my site…
 * Thanks for your attention.

 * We are sorry you’re having the same issue. Per the forum guidelines, we ask that
   you please create separate topics for the issues you are experiencing.
    That 
   way it’s easier to track issues and provide assistance on your specific concerns
   on your specific site. Plus, you will get your own alerts for the issue rather
   than someone else’s. You may make a new topic here: https://wordpress.org/support/
   plugin/wordpress-seo/#new-post.
