The verdict

Yoast SEO and StoreVitals solve different problems at different points in the content lifecycle. Yoast helps you optimize pages before and during publishing — it's a content creation tool. StoreVitals monitors what happens after you publish: does the page still load? Are links broken? Is your SSL valid? Did a new app break your security headers? WooCommerce stores benefit from running both: Yoast for on-page optimization, StoreVitals for continuous health monitoring. Shopify, BigCommerce, and other platform stores can only use StoreVitals — Yoast requires WordPress.
