Is my content being fully read by Google?
-
Hi mozzers,
I wanted to ask you a quick question regarding Google's crawlability of webpages. We just launched a series of content pieces but I believe there's an issue.
Based on what I am seeing when I inspect the URL it looks like Google is only able to see a few titles and internal links. For instance, when I inspect one of the URLs on GSC this is the screenshot I am seeing:When I perform the "cache:" I barely see any content**:**
VS one of our blog post
- Would you agree with me there's a problem here?
- Is this related to the heavy use of JS? If so somehow I wasn't able to detect this on any of the crawling tools?
Thanks!

Thanks for your help!
I also did a site: "page content of several different pages" and I am getting our pages within the SERP so maybe there's nothing wrong since these pages are indexed. I guess we need to be waiting as you said. -
A few errors is always within margin of what google encounters. Ive seen broken pages completely that would not even render properly anymore but yet still rank. I'm not sure i was just guessing; but perhaps you need to give it a bit of time. I dont know what is going on really, new domains kind of are dampened for a while in order for Google to keep the spammy domains out of the place really.

There are just 6 errors but there's a fatal error though. See screenshot.

Is your page valid with W3C standards? https://validator.w3.org/
I mean if it's a spaghetti of errors then googlebot might encounter issues with that.

I see the most recent page but with only some headings, breadcrumb links, some images but none of the content within
-
When you put the full url in search, and hit the cache button, what does it show? A 1:1 copy of the current page or an outdated version?

Hi Jeroen,
It's been over 2 weeks that we published those pages.

Google Pagination Changes
What with Google recently coming out and saying they're basically ignoring paginated pages, I'm considering the link structure of our new, sooner to launch ecommerce site (moving from an old site to a new one with identical URL structure less a few 404s). Currently our new site shows 20 products per page but with this change by Google it means that any products on pages 2, 3 and so on will suffer because google treats it like an entirely separate page as opposed to an extension of the first. The way I see it I have one option: Show every product in each category on page 1. I have Lazy Load installed on our new website so it will only load the screen a user can see and as they scroll down it loads more products, but how will google interpret this? Will Google simply see all 50-300 products per category and give the site a bad page load score because it doesn't know the Lazy Load is in place? Or will it know and account for it? Is there anything I'm missing?

Penalty for duplicate content on the same website?
Is it possible to get a penalty for duplicate content on the same website? I have a old custom-built site with a large number of filters that are pre-generated for speed. Basically the only difference is the meta title and H1 tag, with a few text differences here and there. Obviously I could no-follow all the filter links but it would take an enormous amount of work. The site is performing well in the search. I'm trying to decide whether if there is a risk of a penalty, if not I'm loath to do anything in case it causes other issues.

Duplicate content within sections of a page but not full page duplicate content
Hi, I am working on a website redesign and the client offers several services and within those services some elements of the services crossover with one another. For example, they offer a service called Modelling and when you click onto that page several elements that build up that service are featured, so in this case 'mentoring'. Now mentoring is common to other services therefore will feature on other service pages. The page will feature a mixture of unique content to that service and small sections of duplicate content and I'm not sure how to treat this. One thing we have come up with is take the user through to a unique page to host all the content however some features do not warrant a page being created for this. Another idea is to have the feature pop up with inline content. Any thoughts/experience on this would be much appreciated.

Does Google bot read embedded content?
Is embedded content "really" on my page? There are many addons nowadays that are used by embedded code and they bring the texts after the page is loaded. For example - embedded surveys. Are these read by the Google bot or do they in fact act like iframes and are not physically on my page? Thanks

Duplicate Content on Blog
I have a blog I'm setting up. I would like to have a mini-about block set up on every page that gives very brief information about me and my blog, as well as a few links to the rest of the site and some social sharing options. I worry that this will get flagged as duplicate content because a significant amount of my pages will contain the same information at the top of the page, front and center. Is there anything I can do to address this? Is it as much of a concern as I am making it? Should I work on finding some javascript/ajax method for loading that content into the page dynamically only for normal browser pageviews? Any thoughts or help would be great.
