Cache Not Working on Our Site
-
We redesigned our site (www.motivators.com) back in April. Ever since then, we can't view the cache. It loads as a blank, white page but the cache text is at the top saying:
"This is Google's cache of http://www.motivators.com/. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Jul 22, 2013 15:50:40 GMT. The current page could have changed in the meantime. Learn more. Tip: To quickly find your search term on this page, press Ctrl+F or ⌘-F (Mac) and use the find bar."
Has anyone else ever seen this happen? Any ideas as to why it's happening? Could it be hurting us? Advice, tips, suggestions would be very much appreciated!

You are more than welcome mask it to solve your problem? Because it does not seem to me that the problem is with your cash it seems to me that the problem is with to many calls on the DNS and the site structure do you want to talk to me about this I can tell you I know quite a bit about site speed

Thank you, Bereijk and Thomas, for your responses!

to give you a short answer a content delivery network will help with caching quite a bit.
Implement max CDN your site will not be perfect, but you will not have to worry about a cache problem.
However the problems with your site run much deeper than what you're questioning suggest is the issue.
Honestly you need to clean up the code quite a bit.
However using a CDN even cloud flare a free CDN would help your site dramatically.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Dallas you have an extremely slow loading website
Page size
2.7MB
Load time
9.99s
Requests
195
I honestly rarely see a page that has almost 200 requests this is not a good thing especially considering you're not using a quality DNS company use DynECT or if you think Dyn is a lot to spend uses DNS Made Easy
I have never heard of your hosting company
You are using http://www.webair.com/
so I cannot tell you if it is good or bad I would move to a company that I trust however I know nothing of your hosting company so it could be good I just don't know it check out fire host they will have everything you need including DNS and content delivery networks but the real issue is your front end the code is extremely bad there's a lot of JavaScript getting in the way of everything I would recommend moving to media Temple and using their DV server with cloudflare's railgun it is free media Temple hosting accounts and I strongly advise you do not use their GS server it is garbage
You have a google page speed of 82/100
The page Promotional Products and Promotional ... got an overall PageSpeed Score of 82 (out of 100).Learn more

Because cloudflare's railgun rewrites your code for you this could help you immensely but you really need to hire a web developer and have your site code fixed to have the best possible outcome I can recommend firsthand using
He can fix your site

I would add a content delivery network Max CDN is a inexpensive and very easy to implement CDN along with being one of the few that offer support at such a inexpensive price.
I hope this was of help,

The homepage takes more than 9 seconds to load, I can imagine that the crawler of Google hasn't taken the time create a snapshot of the page... I would try to speed up the website first... much better for user experience and also for rankings.
Check this report: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130722_RJ_13WT/ and this one: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130722_3R_143F/
Check this site about speed: http://www.strangeloopnetworks.com/web-performance-infographics/.
Not sure if that is the solution, but I would start fixing the speed issue rather than worrying about the Google Cache Pages...

Direct To Site Traffic Decline
Hi Everyone, My company's site went from Http to Https and responsive design last year. After 6 months passed, we noticed a 40% decline from direct visits but revenue saw an increase. Could the 301 redirects from Http to Https cause the drop in direct traffic? Thanks!

Site dropped from SERP
Hello, I've been ranking a site for the last 5 months with good success, ranking on the first page for a high traffic keyword. In the beginning of September however, my site completely dropped out of the SERPs for several of those keywords yet my site was still indexed and there was no penalty applied to my site via search console. I would assume this maybe because of the update during the time.My site came back again a week later and it was ranking much higher on the first page (#2). Today, I just checked the SERPs and my site is now gone again. It was there this morning but now as of two hours ago it is gone, as well as one of my main competitors. My site is still indexed and no penalties via search console. Does anyone know what causes these types of issues? Im assuming my site will come back in a week or so with hopefully the same or better ranking, but when I have disruptions like this it really hurts my organic traffic. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Switching site from http to https. Should I do entire site?
Good morning, As many of you have read, Google seems to have confirmed that they will give a small boost to sites with SSL certificates this morning. So my question is, does that mean we have to switch our entire site to https? Even simple information pages and blog posts? Or will we get credit for the https boost as long as the sensitive parts of our site have it? Anybody know? Thanks in advance.

The search button on my site no longer works. Any fixes?
I have a wordpress site (can be found at theFlooringGirl.com). On all the pages, there is a search button so you can search for words on the site, but it no longer seems to work. My original webdesigner put it in, and I can't seem where to find it/where to edit/fix it. I finally found something that mentions "search" in the widget section and it is in the tool bar, but I can't find where/how to edit/fix it. BTW, I do have two other smaller sites that have this button and it still works there...so if I could find where to edit, I could theoretically copy and paste the code...if I knew where). Any advice? Thx.

Will rankings for my micro site rank better if I 301 redirect it to my main site?
This is my first time asking so I will try to be as clear as possible. Ok, I have a micro site that is an (exact match domain) and the domain is a couple 3-4 years old and ranks very well for several search terms. The main two terms it ranks for are like this. houses for rent in XXXXX XXXXX homes for rent (XXXXX equals a city name) The issue is this site has no backlinks, zero advanced SEO, I only did basic optimization to it when i set the site up. Even site structure, url structure all are not good.
Technical SEO | | Robbie8299
The only page I have ever even seen rank is the main root url. But with all that the site does really good in the top 1-2 results for key search terms. Now, I have a main site that is a very big site that has steadily been climbing in search terms every month with great backlinks, optimized for the city and all.
It currently ranks on second page for the listed search terms listed above. What I want to do is 301 redirect this microsite to my city page on my main site that is much better optimized for the key city terms.
The 301 redirect would point this "root domain" (mymicrosite.com) to my city page that looks like this. www.mymaindomain.com/city/XXXXXXX If I do this will Google rank my main URL city page as well as it ranks this microsite with zero links, seo, etc, etc. What happens if it does not? Will I be able to turn off the 301 redirect and keep the microsite rankings? My main reason for wanting this is I want this city page to rank well and I only want to optimize one site instead of both. Any help would be great!0 -
