A smoother Redirect Manager and Yoast AI Optimize for Classic Editor 

We just introduced two new updates to Yoast SEO Premium that focus on clarity and speed. Yoast SEO Redirect Manager just got a cleaner, more user-friendly workspace. After heavy testing, Yoast AI Optimize is now available for the Classic Editor. It helps you optimize your copy for readability and SEO without disrupting your workflow or website performance. 

Redirects, made simpler 

The Redirect Manager helps you prevent errors like 404s and 410s by automatically prompting you to create redirects when you move or delete content. The core functionality remains the same. The new design makes redirect management easier and clearer. 

Here’s a quick reminder of what the Redirect Manager helps you do: 

• Quickly set up and manage redirects without digging through menus 
• See exactly where each redirect starts and ends 
• Import and export multiple redirects in bulk using CSV files 
• Apply advanced regex rules to support more complex setups, such as full migrations 

Whether you’re making small updates or handling a major restructuring, everything is easier to manage. No extra tools or technical steps required. It’s all built into your Yoast SEO Premium.
