Problem with new blogs site speed, content not visible until scrolling
-
Hi everyone.
I just added a blog to my site, and today uploaded a new post. But here is my problem:
1st content is not visible until i scroll down. then it appears in like 2-3 second or so. I checked the google page speed Mobile 73, desktop 86 seems to be not great but ok in my opinion.
Can someone please look into it and help me I would greatly appreciate it.
here is the link: http://www.dcacar.com/blog/he-origins-of-cars-the-century-that-shaped-them/
Please don't judge the article it is not done yet. Once i noticed the problem i decided to find the solutions before continuing:)
thanks in advance

Switched the theme, problem solved. Thanks everyone

Ah, that's a shame.... Was worth a go.
The thing I hate about Wordpress is that the most unlikely plug-in's or themes can cause unexpected issues. At the same time however it's great that it's so easy to temporarily switch things around without losing any work or vast amounts of time in order to try to pinpoint the cause of the issue.Sorry I haven't been of any help but, again, goodluck!

Hi Chris, I just disabled the widget you suggested and nothing changed.But I like how you think. I also deactivated some plug ins as well and nothing. I guess i will have to get another theme maybe that will solve the problem.

Hi there,
Are you able to temporarily disable the 'Who we are' sidebar widget and confirm that the content of the page reappears without scrolling? Troubleshooting could then be targeted specifically towards this widget.
Of course, if my hunch is wrong and it's not the sidebar widget just disable and re-enable widgets one by one until you find the culprit
Good luck!

Hi there
Take a look at the Fetch As Google tool. It will give you a snapshot of how Google sees the content on your site. You can learn more about the tool and how to diagnose your results here.
It also seems that iPage has a SuperBoost plan, but if it's an issue with the way your site is laid out, Google will tell you that and you may not have to look into such a thing.
Hope this helps!

Hi Patrick I completely agree that it seems to be the server response time, but how do I fix that? My site uses ipage for the server and the rest of the site has no server response time error. Also I am confused about the scrolling issue. Even Google page speed shows a snapshot of the page that is empty( no content). I am not sure where to find the answers.

Hi there
It looks like the server time to get the document is what's taking so long.
I would go through Google's Interpret Site Speed resource and go through their tips there.
When you look at your PageSpeed Insights report, you will notice they give your pointers and resources on how to fix issues. I recommend starting there.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Create original content or Copy from several sources?
I own a site that that has about 15,000 pages that need some description content. I plan to hire someone to retrieve or create content for each of these pages on my site. each page needs about 500 words. I was thinking that there is probably three ways i can go about this. If I hire someone cheap I can probably have them copy data from about 20 different sites. using about 5 sources for each page description. I can hire someone that has some experience writing english content, and have them go to a few sites and then in their own words summarize the description on my site. I can hire a great content writer, have them do research on each page, and create completely unique content. I probably will do some combination of these 3 things. (great content writer on a few pages, since thats all i can afford to do) and the rest do the cheaper route. Is copying sentences from multiple sources a good idea? or does the content really need to be original?

"&" in search for site:domain.com
Hi, a few days ago we talked to a seo agency. They told us something about the "site:" search, that we hadn't heard before.
SERP Trends | | Sandra_h
As they told us, a search for "site:domain.com/&" would give you the number of relevant pages that Google indexed for your domain. We tested this search with some domains. Lots of the results showed up to 25% less indexed pages, than the search for site:domain.com/ Has anyone heard of this before, or is it just a sales gimmick?0 -
Is this the right RSS Feed address for our blog?
Hey I looked this up on Youtube, but I'm not sure it's right. is this our RSS Feed address http://www.kempruge.com/category/news/feed/ It looks like our XML sitemap, so I'm not sure what's going on. I did what the video said to do, but I'd just like some confirmation this is right before I submit it anywhere. Thanks, Ruben

Why has our site had a huge spike in referral traffic?
Starting last week, our site had a HUGE spike in referral traffic from: search.dnsassist.verizon.net. We have never had a visit from there until last week, and had 12K visits last week so something is happening. The traffic does look normal though, all visits were in the US from 700 cities and pages/visit, avg visit duration and bounce rate are close to site average. There is a few other referral sites that showed up last week as well: wind.search-help.net, uslc.search-help.net, finder.cox.net. All of these sites are low, around 30 to 50 visits a day, but we had not any referrals until last week. I did notice most of these sites state "Explore with Yahoo Search." Just wondering if anyone has every seen this before and wondering what is happening. Thanks for reading. <colgroup><col width="207"></colgroup>

What impact would this have on his actual traffic. One site has high traffic 7500 daily the other site has 150 daily but gaining momentum

Storing & Analyzing Site Search Phrases
We are adding a JQuery smart search to our site that provides product suggestions as our visitors type. I can create a simple script to store precisely what the visitors are searching for and how they type it. However... I am not sure how to best analyze the data for use. Simply storing the data does not tell me how many times a particular phrase was used. I believe a smart suggestion search tool will skew my results, as it will suggest what I list my product names as in my database rather than what they call it. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I found a great JQuery script for the suggestion search, but is there anything out there for storing and analyzing the user search input?

How to optimize a site for search engines in India
I am working on a website that is a manufacturing company selling items to companies in the United States, India and some other countries. I already know what keywords I would target in the US but what about India? In the US we optimize our keywords for the Google search engine but in India what search engine is the biggest. I know http://www.google.co.in/ exists but is that the most powerful (most users) for India? Is there a certain language I do research for keywords or should I stick to English keywords? Also if I rank for a national keyword (no location in the phrase) well in the US should it be similar for India?
