      Whenever I open my site from an uncached source, like google incognito, for a split second it displays purple links and a white background while it loads the rest of the content. I've included a screenshot. Is there any way to fix that.? The site is www.kemprugegreen.com.

        I believe you are seeing "FOUC" Flash of Unstyled Content.

        Do a google search for that phrase. Lots of info.

          Yes it can  if you want a simple solution use a managed WordPress hosting provider like Pressidium®, Pagely, Kinsta, Presslabs, Pantheon, WP Engine get Flywheel.

          Not to try to promote anything but if you host with Performance Foundry. You get put on a Pagely® VPS for less than Pagely ($100) but  they go even farther than managed WordPress hosting companies and tuneup your site and do Developer work just for the price of posting. It is one of the best deal I've ever heard of and honestly I would recommend that

          https://performancefoundry.com/category/hosting/

          All the best,

            It is WordPress. Two follow-up questions please:

            1. Could this be from updating WP to newer versions?

            2. Are call games or modules similar to plugins? i've only ever added plugins. I don't know what "call games or modules" are.

            Thanks,

            Ruben

                I would also  strongly recommend a easy backup system blogvalt sucuri.net , codegard are great backup systems.

                Your host should also have one.

                  Hi

                  It is your CSS. Your style sheat is broken.

                  If it is a word press,  or other popular CMS you need to wake up call games or modules you have added and possibly disable or remove them try to roll the site  back if you  remember when it was not doing this.

                  Most importantly you need to contact a developer

                  I would want them on performanceFoundry.com they're great so is Authoritydev.com  & gregreindel.com

                  A developer  is what you need.

                  all the best,

                  Tom

                    Reducing cumulative layout shift for responsive images - core web vitals

                    core web vitals

                    In preparation for Core Web Vitals becoming a ranking factor in May 2021, we are making efforts to reduce our Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) on pages where the shift is being caused by images loading. The general recommendation is to specify both height and width attributes in the html, in addition to the CSS formatting which is applied when the images load. However, this is problematic in situations where responsive images are being used with different aspect ratios for mobile vs desktop. And where a CMS is being used to manage the pages with images, where width and height may change each time new images are used, as well as aspect ratios for the mobile and desktop versions of those. So, I'm posting this inquiry here to see what kinds of approaches others are taking to reduce CLS in these situations (where responsive images are used, with differing aspect ratios for desktop and mobile, and where a CMS allows the business users to utilize any dimension of images they desire).

                    Is The HREF Link "Title" Tag Needed on Mobile Websites?

                    Hello To Those Who Are Wiser Than I, I am wondering if the href link "title" tag is needed, or serves any purpose, on mobile websites?  Also, does it effect SEO in any way? I ask because generally the href link title tag provides more information to the user when they scroll their mouse over the link - but this action does not happen on mobile!  Users have no mouse and thus no extra information would be displayed. I'm really wondering if it still matters for SEO purposes on mobile though. -The UnEnlightened

                    Website Redesign and Migration to Squarespace killed my Ranking

                    My old website was dated, ugly, impossible to update and a mess between hard-coded pages and WP, but we were ranking #1 in the organic searches for our key words. I just redesigned my website using Squarespace.  I kept most of the same text on the pages (for key words) and kept the same Meta-Tags and Title Tags for each page as much as possible. Once I was satisfied that I had done as much on-page optimization as I could, I changed the IP in our Domain Name Registry so that it would point to our new website on the Squarespace host.  And our new website was live! ...Then I watched in dismay as our ranking fell into oblivion. I think this might have something to do with not doing any 301 redirects from the old website and losing all of my link juice. Is this the case?  And, if so, how do I fix it? Our website url is www.kanataskinclinic.ca Thanks

                    B2C directory website adding B2B ecommerce sub-domain

                    Hey fellow Mozzers, Just got back from Mozcon and enjoyed getting to know a handful of you. I do in house SEO for a B2B wholesaler. We have a B2C website directory for homeowners to locate contractors to work on their home. On the site we have a products section which includes tech specs but not pricing. Our contractors have been asking us to add the ability to purchase their items online, so we are wanting to add a B2B sub-domain (store.domain.com) to our website for the contractors to purchase products online. We do not want consumers to be able to purchase the items and will have pricing behind a log in. I have a few questions that I'm hoping you might be able to answer: 1. What would be the best practice to not have duplicate content errors with products that are listed on both sites? Should we rel-canonical items shown on both domains or do something else?
                    2. We are not against having the new site be crawled, but will Google be upset/ding rankings because pricing is behind a log-in? Are there certain best-practices for B2B ecommerce sites?
                    3. Do you know of any other sites that have done this/do you have any recommendations on how to best implement this?

                    Decreasing Page Load Time with Placeholder Images - Good Idea or Bad Idea?

                    In an effort to decease our page load time, we are looking at making a change so that all product images on any page past page 1 load with a place holder image.  When the user clicks to the next page, it then loads all of the images for that page. Right now, all of the product divs are loaded into a Javascript array and loaded in chunks to the page display div. Product-heavy pages significantly increase load time as the browser loads all of the images from the product HTML before the Javascript can rewrite the display div with page-specific product HTML. In order to get around this, we are looking at loading the product HTML with a small placeholder image and then substituting the appropriate product image URLs when each page is output to the display div. From a user experience, this change will be seamless and they won't be able to tell the difference, plus they will benefit from a potentially a short wait on loading the images for the page in question.  However, the source of the page will have all of the product images in a given category page all having the same image.  How much of a negative impact will this have on SEO?

                    How do you visualize website structure

                    How do you visualize a website structure in terms of (categories of) pages and interlinking. I use such visuals for discussing what you are actually doing now and what can be improved. I have made visuals I few times myself (basically making boxes representing categories of pages and lines representing internal links), but I found that I soon ran into a scheme of huge proportions and needed more paper and more time. Appreciate your thoughts!
