Google Fetch and Render - Partial result (resources temporarily unavailable)
-
Over the past few weeks, my website pages have been showing as partial in the Google Search Console. There are many resources/ files (js, css, images) that are 'temporarily unreachable'. The website files haven't had any structural changes for about 2 years (it historically has always shows as 'completed' and rendered absolutely fine in the search console).
I have checked and the robots.txt is fine as is the sitemap. My host hasn't been very helpful, but has confirmed there are no server issues. My website rankings have now dropped which I think is due to these resources issues and I need to clear this issue up asap - can any one here offer any assistance? It would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Can anyone suggest any answers or has anyone had similar issues? I continue to monitor the site via fetch and render and the issues remain the same - lots of images, css and js files 'Temporarily Unreachable' (yet they do exist and the link can be clicked on). The website functions fine otherwise.
As I say, I have changed website hosts and it is still the same. This is really affecting my rankings and if anyone has any clues I would be most grateful.
Many thanks,
Dan

Hi Martijn,
Thank you for your response!
The results in terms of the fetch and render for a page of the website looks different everytime. Sometimes it is images that are "Temporarily Unavailable' , sometimes it is css/ js files and sometimes both. However, there is never a 'Completed' result and always some form of 'Partial result. All the files/ images are reachable when you click on them, however. Nothing is blocked in terms of robots.
From time to time the entire page itself says 'Temporarily Unreachable', although it comes back to 'partial' after waiting a few hours.
I have contacted my web hosts who haven't offered much help. I actually changed web hosts and paid for a more expensive, faster server (as I assumed the server was taking too long for Google)!
However, the results are the same, so really struggling to understand why this is happening. As before, the robots.txt file is fine without any blockingCould you explain what you mean in terms of crawling with the GoogleBot User Agent?
Having had a quick scan around different forums, it seems there are quite a few websites having a similar problem, but there doesn't seem to be a solution so far.
Thanks again for your time.

Hi Dan,
Are there any more insights into what the screenshot actually looks like when the resources aren't being loaded? I would, in addition, try to crawl the site/page with the GoogleBot User Agent and see for yourself what happens. In some cases it could be that your CDN or server is blocking requests that are often done, obviously, this shouldn't happen with Google but it wouldn't be the first time that I see GoogleBot being blocked by a server.
Martijn.

Sitelink (meta) descriptions in Google SERP
Hi, I am probably not the only one having this question regarding the quality of sitelinks in organic results. When your search returns sitelinks, I know the only thing you can do to avoid certain sitelinks to appear is to demote it for that search result. But what can you do about the description. For the main result you are pretty much able to create an appealing description, but when the sitelinks appear, all sitelinks display these crappy 'composed' descriptions. I've read Google did some tests a couple of years ago with multiple descriptions and multiple titles, but this doesn't cover the issue I just described. Is there a way to create 'sitelink descriptions'? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Google vs. Bing
We rolled out a new site for a customer on an old (branded) domain (14 years old) about 3 weeks ago, and we are doing very, very well in Google for 40+ keywords, but we can't make a dent in Bing. Absolutely nothing. We are using the Webmaster tools for both. Are we missing something? Are we not using the Bing Webmaster tools correctly?

Google Merchant Center Feed Disapproved - Data Quality Good - No Warnings
I have noticed Google Merchant Center has been making many changes of over the last month. Feeds can now be optimized for certain product attributes. The dilemma currently is that I have a Google Merchant Center Data feed that shows zero warnings and that the data quality is good. Unfortunately, the entire feed has been disapproved. Across many other websites that I noticed the same issues, I have been able to fix all warnings and the feeds are taken perfectly. This one sites issues are eluding me. Anybody have any suggestions or experience dealing with this problem? Possible issues I have looked into but could be affecting feed. Merchant Center Guidelines have been reviewed multiple, multiple times and here is what I have found. 1. Website has limited duplicate content taken from distributors product listings (I have fought a unending battle with site owner to make all product content original) 2. Refurbished Products Issue: The sites feed has listed all products as "new". I found some of the product content in the site had "refurbished" listed. The guidelines state that products must be listed & marked as refurbished in the feed. To overcome this issue I disabled all refurbished products and resubmitted the feed. This did produce a good approved data feed.
