SEO analysis: The SEO analysis offers suggestions to improve the SEO of your text.

Cornerstone content: The cornerstone content feature lets you to mark and filter cornerstone content on your website. If you want to be able to mark and filter cornerstone content (more about that in a later section), you will need to keep this option enabled
Text link counter: Yoast SEO needs to count all the public links on your website to offer better suggestions for keyword anchor texts.
XML Sitemaps: Enable the XML sitemaps that Yoast SEO generates (more about XML sitemaps below).
Ryte integration: Ryte will check weekly if your site is still indexable by search engines and Yoast SEO will notify you when this is not the case.
Admin bar menu: Adds a menu to the admin bar with useful shortcuts to Yoast SEO settings and keyword research tools.
Security: no advanced settings for authors: The advanced section of the Yoast SEO meta box allows a user to remove posts from the search results or change the canonical. These are things you might not want any author to do. That’s why, by default, only editors and administrators can do this. Setting to “Off” allows all users to change these settings.
Clicking the question mark gives more information about the feature. If you are a beginner to SEO then I recommend you to keep all of these options enabled.

• Be recognizable from a distance
• Reflex blink technique
• Read speed
• Eye movements
• Good peripheral vision
• Reading fatigue
But sometimes it’s hard to determine if your audience can perceive your written text in the same way as you. Your article may seem clear and natural to you, but we need certain scientific dimensions to make sure that it can be read easily.
