I understand wanting websites to be broadly accessible but many of us develop websites that target specific audiences and frankly, these do not include places with low-level internet. As a company that thrives on demographics, you know why. What is our chance of actually converting?

I understand maybe sometimes showing this or allowing us the option but to never let us see an actual modern test or to base rankings off of a DSL speed is getting a bit unfair.

But I cannot say for certain because, there's a lot of confusion on if these metrics actually matter or not.

I can say that it is demoralizing to spend weeks tweaking a website and keep seeing a 70 no matter how much caching, minifying, removing, etc... I mean, do I need just a blank white page?

It's a full-bore server (like, fassssstttt) with real internet, not the home stuff ... Only actively running one website right now. It loads like lightning here.

It would be nice if we at least had a real idea of how these affect us, or don't.

Not once have these tests performed anywhere close to any of our devices. Even our old Samsung S4 and such. Even an old iPod touch loads faster.

These tests seem to target third-world countries with DSL or almost no cell-access.

Most of us in marketing and sales, do not target these. Most blogs, do not target these.

It is helpful information, yes. To be the only information however, is not helpful.

If someone actually read this, thank you for your time. It would be great if the Pagespeed Insights actually gave us useful insights.

Google needs to release a clear statement on this so the speculation on the marketing forums can stop and those of us that want a good website can stop chasing our tail forever trying to do what is impossible - make a modern website for decades old technology.

We either make modern websites or make them for decades old tech. One or the other.

... Many years come to think of it, not once have I actually had a clue what's up with the SERPS except, "cross your fingers and hope it sticks, even if you're doing your best, legitimate work".

More of us base our whole lives around this now, now just an hour here and there. My whole family for example.

We need more info.

HELP :(

I'm hoping someone can help me with my website indexing issue on Bing.

To summarize, my Squarespace domain was redirecting to my Webflow domain and site for a few years.

Now that I created my new website on Squarespace I have deleted the webflow domain and site and also deleted the redirect instruction on Squarespace. I even had Squarespace customer support confirm that there was no redirect anywhere on the site.

When I submit my domain for indexing on Google Search Console it is indexed but when I submit it on Bing Webmaster Tools it refuses to index my main domain URL because it is still telling me that it is pointing to my Webflow domain, which does not exist. It's been a week or two and the same issue persists.

If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know.

I am tightening security on a site and I want to add the content security policy that blocks other sites from iframing my site. Before I do that I want to find all the sites that are iframing my site to make sure I am not blocking a legit iframe.

is there a way to use google web master tools to find those sites?

Are there other ways to find those sites?

Hi guys,
Can someone help me get around this one? I am trying to check the Ad Experience Report, Abusive Experiences and Abusive Notifications for one of my domains but in all sections I see Status: Not reviewed.

Does anyone have an idea how can I get this reviewed by Google?

Many thanks in advance!

Has anyone had issues with alternate page with proper canonical tag before? I am working with a business who's site is on Shopify and they use this app called Multi Vendor Marketplace that calls upon pages when visitors click on item on products page. Does anyone know if that could be causing this issue and why validating it won't work? Also the main links for the site have a redirect and also have a hard time indexing.

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

I'm trying to index a category page which was noindexed. The site uses domain.com/category/post/ style url strcture. Previously category (part of custom post style) had slug with underscore in it and I changed it to hyphen. So, category_one/post/ became category-one/post/ after this change. I set canonical to new url in rankmath. I set it to index and I submitted in GSC. But, google is not indexing it.

The error is:
Page is not indexed: Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user.

The url under 'User-declared canonical' is the new url i.e. category-one/post/. It's the exact url I want and same as set in rankmath. I'm not able to see what url google has chosen for canonical as page is not indexed. But, for google-selected canonical, it's written 'Same as user-declared canonical'. Doesn't it mean that google has chosen same canonical as user which is /category-one/post/. If that's true then why google isn't indexing the page? I though cache might have old url and might be conflicting with the new one, so I cleared the cache at every place possible.

Any idea what might be the reason and what I do about it?

Hi,

​

The main goal of my project is to create a performance monitoring system for websites and API's.

As a first step, I am trying to create a module in which I can measure the web vitals of my company's websites on the intranet.

I came across multiple options such as the lighthouse, Pagespeed Insights, etc but I am confused about whether these tools will work with my company's secured and internal websites which are not accessible to everyone.

Any sort of guidance on this will be useful and appreciated.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Got an email from the Google Search Console highlighting a couple of issues with my site. For example it says "text is too small to read". It gives an example url on my site, presumably where it found the issue, but it annoys me that it never highlights WHICH text. I gotta guess.

But what's really confusing and caused me to post here, is that I clicked on the "test live page" button to have the mobility test tool take a look, and.... it says everything is fine.

What causes this discrepancy? Also, is there any way to better identify specifically what parts of the page the GSC is complaining about so I can fix it? I mean, I can spend days tweaking what the things might be!

Hey guys, so I'm doing some SEO and site work for some friends in quite a concentrated, but competitive industry in our region.

I'm using Webmaster Tools, many of the pages were not indexed, I finally got Google to Index 19 pages (up from only 3) in the past week, so the impressions shot up (as you can see), but the clicks remain the same as before the pages were indexed, went down almost 10 positions, too — is the competition causing this so I start to rank down? I optimized the pages really nicely, got green checks for SEO on all of them. SEMrush said the keywords I'm trying to rank for were easy.

One of the guys who competes with us, but also works with us says the guy at the top launched attacks on his site so he was getting a lot of spam links pointing back to his site so they would affect his ranking on Google, apparently he's got 4 super adept Russian tech guys working on the site's back end and they try to undermine competitors.

I've attached some pictures, would appreciate your input, I'm really desperate to get this working cause I spent so long fixing everything up only to have this happen:

Hi everyone. Just a quick question. I added a website added to the google search console about 4 days ago, I checked the crawl stats an noticed that it is showing a DNS error. And the url that is showing the error for ends with my website homepage/ads.txt. As far as what I researched that ads.txt file is needed for publisher that are serving ads. My website is just a one page website with information on how to get a loan I am not serving any ads on it.is the ads.txt dns error something I should ignore or will it affect the crawling of my website?

I am working on SEO of a blog. I can see few 'coverage' errors inside Google Search Console. I am not able to understand what I should do with them.

1. First error is 'redirect error'. The URL structure is 'domain_name.com/posts/post_name' and I've redirected '/post/' singular to '/posts/' plural. Yet, it is showing redirect error for some URLs. When I copy those URLs with error and paste in browser window, I'm able to reach redirected page. I also tested those URLs through redirect tool. They are working perfectly fine. I don't know why it is showing an error.
2. Second error is for trailing '/'. The error is 'redirect error'. If target post page is without trailing slash then google is showing error. But similar to above, the redirect is working fine. Redirect tool shows no error and I am manually able to reach the destination and my .htaccess code is adding trailing '/' automatically to every URL if it's absent.
3. Another error is 'server error (5xx)'. I am using newsletter plugin and it requires a dedicated page with 'domain_name.com/newsletter/'. I've blocked it in robots.txt using "Disallow: /newsletter/ ". Google search console is giving error for this. What can I do about this? How can tell google to not pursue this URL and remove the server error?

Please help me understand the issues. Why these errors are there? I can understand third error but what's wrong with the first two? How much can these errors hurt my SEO? How should I remove them?

Hello people,

Greetings of the day. 

I want to inform you that I have been doing SEO from Last few Years. I am having issues in my client website. The website URL is https://www.optimumindia.in. The website was indexed last year but from Dec 2021 it’s not showing in Google. 

I got clicks last year but from December my website is not showing on Google. I also resubmitted the sitemap and inspected my Home page and other web pages but it showed the URL is on Google. I have been doing this for the past 4 month, but still my website is not indexed. Its showing only:  URL can be indexed.

In the Coverage section, it is showing that links are indexed. But if we check on Google the website is not indexed.

Please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks

Links are showing submitted in sitemap, then not, and it just continues to flip-flop.

Healthy natural site. 18 months old. I tried deleting and recreating the sitemap, then removing and resubmitting but the issue persists. Using SEO framework. 6 other sites on the same server with the same theme and plugins. Only happening here.

Anyone seen or have an explanation for this?

Hi, i am setting a new google ads account for my client. I use Google tag manager, google analytics and google ads to track the paid traffic directed to the website. Now, my problem is that when i configure the conversion tag in google ads, going into the "installation mode" of every tag, the "google Tag manager" option is hidden. I dont know why and i have researched on the web without finding any news.

Do you know what can be?

Thanks a lot, have a nice day to everybody!

(I have a created a new container to test the stuff below as the original one is too complex with many tags for various campaigns/analytics)So I have 3 tags

1. a simple tag that is of type 'custom HTML" and it just runs this javascript =>alert ("jl-alert triggered");
2. a GA4 tag
3. a UA tag

The 3 tags above uses a trigger that fires using a "DOM ready" event.

preview results/observations:

1. In tag assistant, it seems none of my tags were supposedly triggered (see screenshot link below)
2. I got the JS alert on the website preview.
3. for my GA4 tag, I can see this line (https://www.google-analytics.com/g/collect?v=2&tid=G-GA4-ID-HERE) when viewing browser developer tools => network tab
4. My UA tag never showed up like in no.3. I am assuming that a similar call will be made but using my UA ID.
5. I tried with and without "include debug signal in the URL". It does not make a difference.
6. I tried disabling the GA4 tag. And while I cannot see no.3 in browser developer tools => network tab, I still cannot see the UA.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Hey! I started my blog about two months ago and my first three posts were indexed within a span of a week. But after that I've posted about 30 post and none of them have been indexed.

Moreover if I inspect those one of those three post that were indexed earlier, it says URL is not on google. But I can easily find it on google.

Please help me figure out what's the problem here

hi everyone,

So i wanted to add my domain as a TXT record on my web host cpanel and the name of the entry as per the google help page should be '@' but on my bluehost cpanel there already is an an entry with 'v=spf1 a mx include:websitewelcome.com ~all'.

Can i use some other name for this record instead of "@" ? Or is there a way to add multiple records to the "@" name?

How do i get around this ?

Thanks for reading.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to figure out exactly what time in the day does Google Search Console updates and refreshes its data? I know GSC updates data 2 days later from any date range you look at, but does anyone know what time it updates 2 days later? Is it dependant on the user's timezone or a set time every day?

I got an email with the following description. I did some Rich Results test and it shows my site has a Logos issue on https://ans-world.com/author/anshad666/. But no idea how I can fix it. I hope someone from here can help me out of this annoying issue.

To the owner of ans-world.com:

Hi, we have been having an issue with our sitemap on google webmaster tools, it auto submits itself every 4 weeks.

Is there a specific thing that we can do to uncover this mystery? We tried everything we could and still cannot stop it.

any help is appreciated.
