Yoast SEO Permalink Cleanup

CheckView relies on unique query parameters appended to URLs during test execution to track and validate test runs. However, if Yoast SEO’s “Remove Unused Query Parameters” setting is enabled under Advanced Crawl Settings → Permalink Cleanup, these parameters may be stripped before CheckView can process them. This can cause tests to run but fail to complete successfully, as essential tracking data is lost.

To ensure CheckView operates correctly, follow these steps to disable this setting in Yoast SEO:

1. Log into your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Navigate to Yoast SEO → Settings.
3. Scroll down to Advanced Settings → Crawl Optimization.
4. Locate the Permalink Cleanup section.
5. Disable the option “Remove Unused Query Parameters” if it is enabled.
6. Click Save Changes.

After disabling this setting, CheckView will be able to append and track query parameters correctly, ensuring your tests run and complete as expected.

Important: Even if Yoast SEO is inactive on your website, previous permalink cleanup settings and advanced query parameter rules may still be applied. To ensure CheckView functions correctly, Yoast SEO may need to be reactivated so that these settings can be reviewed and adjusted as needed.
