Fetch as Google showing Tablet View, not Desktop View
-
Hi Mozers,
Fetch as Google is showing Tablet view and not Desktop view. Does anyone know why this is? And does that mean that Googlebot is reading the Tablet version instead of the Desktop version (same HTML but different visualization)?
Thanks!!
Yael

Hi, I agree with Joseph that what you're seeing is probably due to the style breakpoints you have on that page.
**However - **while fetch and render gives us some insight into how Google might interpret a page, it is not what Google is "seeing". Google is viewing the page code and, while there is some evidence it will deprioritise content which is hidden with methods like display:none I really don't think your site will suffer because your break point is different from the one in fetch and render. Changing the break point could conceivably involve quite a lot of front end dev or working with your site templates to avoid causing issues. I understand your concern but I honestly wouldn't put this to the top of your priority list.
Hope that helps!

Try updating your resolution queries to a max height of 1080, replacing the block of height:100%. Seems like google bot is crawling your site and queries are under a desktop resolution.

Hello Yael,
That sounds like the viewport and breakpoint settings with your website, when you design a responsive website with your own screen you might want to use the chrome dev tools to check if the viewport cut off at the right size.
This guidelines from Google might help: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/design-and-ux/responsive/
This post might give you some idea what is the best screen size to use: https://www.hobo-web.co.uk/best-screen-size/
If it wasn't above mentioned issue maybe you can share your website address so we can better tell what's happening.
Hope this helps,
Joseph Yap

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.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | TyEl
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: image.pngWhen I perform the "cache:" I barely see any content**:** image.pngVS one of our blog post image.png 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!0 -

Google serving wrong page...
Hi, When you Google: "Los Angeles divorce attorney", you will see this site on the 5th page of the SERPS: www.berenjifamilylaw.com/blog/. For some reason, Google is serving the BLOG page as opposed to the homepage. This has been going on now for several weeks. Any tips on how to fix this? Obviously, the Homepage is more relevant and has more links going to it, so not sure why it's happening. Would you just leave it alone? Would you use robots.txt to block Google from crawling the BLOG post page? Thanks.

Quantity or quality in Google+ authorship?
Hi folks, here goes a (hopefully) easy one for the local authorship gurus. For our blog content strategy we currently have two inhouse contributors. Both have decent Google+ profiles and one is in the process of really establishing authorship/influence by submitting guest posts to several industry sites, sharing content in Google+, engaging in conversations in twitter, etc. Posts by this latter contributor already rank page 1 for the main keywords. We now have a new content contributor who is a retired employee from the company and a good friend. He has written excellent content that will be published in our blog in the coming few months. He does not have a Google+ profile but he can have one if we ask him to, but he is not going to use it for anything other than writting on our blog. He does not mind having his content published under any of our current Google+ profiles. Question: should we include this new content under our current profiles or should we create a new Google+ profile for this new contributor knowing that it will be an 'empty' profile? Thanks in advance!

DMCA Complaint to Google - HELP
I have several sites copying my content, which I found out via Copyscape.com. Unfortunately, this is giving me duplicate content. I filed a DMCA complaint through Google and the infringing pages were approved but the pages still remain. Can someone please help me understand this better? I thought Google was supposed to remove these pages? Am I supposed to content the site owner to get the content removed or are their pages simply de-indexed?
