Please give us a description of what happened.

Using Visual Composer Raw HTML editor module resulted in the SEO Analysis from failing to scan the text.

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

For Yoast to scan the Raw HTML Editor

How can we reproduce this behavior?

1.Create a Page

2.Add the Raw HTML editor to it. Add text either with tags like <p> or without them

3.See Yoast not be able to scan it for a keyword/SEO

NOTES
Adding a raw HTML also outputs an incorrect Flesch Reading Ease score as well. It may also impact the transition words analysis too.

Technical info

• WordPress version: 4.8.2
• Yoast SEO version: 5.5.1
• Visual Composer: 4.12.1

Seems like the Raw HTML module is still giving us incorrect data.

Tested with a Raw HTML module and a Text module both with the same content "Is this counting up?". The content parsed to Yoast SEO is then:

<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]SXMlMjB0aGlzJTIwY291bnRpbmclMjB1cCUzRg==[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Is this counting up?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]</p>

Resulting in incorrect word counts and incorrect analyses.
