Hello @rtwlabs,
Thanks for reaching out.
For large websites with more than 10,000 posts, we usually recommend using the WP CLI command to do the indexation on the server. We also recently released Yoast SEO v14.2.
Please try the following:
You can use following command:
wp yoast index --reindex
I was able to run it on SG without any issues. It’s smaller number of posts ( about 1000). I think that SG has timeout 300s for cli scripts.

I think you might have mis-read my message Maybellyne, I was trying exactly that but clicking the reset indexables button results in the site just spinning doing nothing as the index did.
So was asking how I can solve that since the fix to fix the issue does not work either.

@stodorovic thanks might give it a try we have less than 1000 pages so fingers crossed, can’t be any more broken anyway
@rtwlabs We were suggesting you use the WP CLI command to reindex the site if you are experiencing an issue. Please let us know whether that is successful.

@devnihil how do I run the ‘Hit the “Reset indexables & migrations” button’ via CLI is that as mentioned by Sasa above or some other way?

So I ran wp yoast index --reindex
for around 30-45 min before killing it off as it overloaded our account and siteground sent us a message about overusage.
How else are we supposed to make this plugin work if none of the tools provided for it work on your standard shared hosting account.
Worse still we have a Premium version of the plugin.
Hi @rtwlabs,
Thank you for your replies and troubleshooting! We’re sorry if the reindex WP-CLI didn’t complete. As you mention you use our Premium version. Please reach out directly to our support as we can’t give support here for premium versions per the forum guidelines on WordPress.org.
We’ll be more than happy to continue troubleshooting it with you.
It was couple minutes (for similar number of posts/products) in my case. It’s weird that takes too long.
There is one good option in WP-CLI –skip-plugins – you can skip loading some plugins. Eg:
wp --skip-plugins=sg-cachepress,wp-mail-smtp,regenerate-thumbnails yoast index --reindex
So, you can try to “temporary deactivate” some plugins during reindex process. Previous plugin slugs are only examples (I don’t expect that they are problematic).
Thanks @stodorovic for mentioning that option.
Setting this to resolved to keep the forum overview.
