Yoast release version 20.0 brings major changes to the user interface with the aim of facilitating the optimization of your WordPress site.
new user interface
Yoast 20.0’s user interface does away with the old way for users to click multiple tabs to access pages with many choices.
The new version of Yoast introduces a card-style interface.
The card user interface does not require user selection like the tabbed interface. This information is presented as a set of features that the user can turn on or off. It’s an easier and more intuitive way to do things.
Each category has its own row with cards representing settings that can be toggled on or off.
The structure of the settings page looks like this:
Setting category
card – card – card
Each card that is a setting has an image at the top, below the image is a description of the setting, and in the footer area of the card is an on/off toggle and a detailed link to a Yoast web page explaining its specificity. there is. Configuration.

If the setting is off, the image will be displayed in grayscale (no color).
If the image has color, it means the setting is enabled.
Users can literally tell at a glance which settings in which categories are on or off simply by whether the card has a color.
This is a macro view of the entire settings page and helps users get a quick overview. This is not possible with the old tab-and-click-and-scroll way of navigating settings.
Each card corresponding to an individual setting has a brief description of the setting.
Users can also click the Details button to access a web page that details a particular setting.
The “API Integrations” settings page follows a similar card-style user interface, allowing you to easily see what integrations are possible, including Yoast integrated into your Elementor workflow and enabling that integration.

I had the chance to install a preview version of Yoast 20.0 on a test site and was impressed with the initial setup and new user interface.
I have been practicing SEO for almost 25 years and this version of Yoast is the easiest SEO plugin I have ever used.
The new user interface is so well thought out that almost everyone can use it without reading the manual, regardless of knowledge level. But if you want background information, just click through for that information.
Yoast CEO Thijs de Valk said:
“We are really proud of what the team has built with the Yoast SEO 20.0 release. …Our new user interface shows that we will continue to provide the best possible experience for our users.”
Yoast SEO 20.0 is a big step forward and users will appreciate this change.
