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!

Houston Company Needs Help (Will Our SEO Work Be Destroyed While Site is Down?, Can Anything be Done?)
I'm a Moz member, mostly just lurk, and love the Moz community. I work at a non profit company that does benchmarking data and helps school districts improve process in education. Our building flooded and our site is currently offline, is there anything we can do to stop/lesson any SEO page rank drop between now and when we are back up? We have worked very hard to get these rankings. I know it is minor compared to all tragedy in Houston, but we have worked hard to get these SEO gains (YEAH MOZ!) and I'd hate to lose them because of Harvey. Any suggestions, assistance appreciated!

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?

Site "Internal" Search Full-Text Indexing vs. Manual Tagging
I’m looking for recommendations on how to power site search in an efficient way. Ideally, I would like to get recommendations on platforms, tools, trends, technology and resources. This discussion does not really refer to SEO or site search optimization. It is more related to the technology used to power site search. I would like to get an idea on the differences between full-text indexing site search and site search that requires manual tagging.

Best way to prevent "Duplicate Content" for different links
We are working on job portal domain. As we know jobs going to be expired day by day. I will give you my question by example. Example: I have two links [mysite.com/Jobs-In-Cincinnati and mysite.com/Jobs-In-Atlanta]. Before month I had too many jobs on both the links. Jobs were expired one by one after two/three months I don't have any jobs on both the links.So I got same page content on both the links like "please refine search". Google consider these two pages as duplicate content issue. Will you please suggest which is the best way to come out from it? Thanks in advance.

How often do you submit to local search/citation sites?
I recently received a Network Solutions spam/offer email regarding their internet marketing packages. One of the "benefits" they cited was that they submit your information to local search/citation sites once a month, to keep it up-to-date. I don't know about you guys, but my clients' information isn't changing on a frequent basis. I remember when it used to be a tactic to submit regularly to the same citation sites, but that seems like overkill now. Does anyone still do this, or is NS just trying to make their product sound good? Do we need to update citation sites frequently, or is it enough to update when there are actual changes to make?

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>

Pros and Cons Google Site Search
I'm having a hard time finding the actual pros and cons of implementing Google Site Search on a website. Thoughts? Any data on bounce rate of internal SERP because UX doesn't look like the website? I know you can customize, but most examples I've seen still look pretty different from the stie's native style. Any other cons? Data issues, etc?
