Hi,

I'm dealing with ReactJS sites on a daily basis and luckily haven't seen any big issues. But the most common issues I see that come across are that Google isn't able to view the content on the page. What is usually the starting point is using the Google Fetch and Render tool in Google Search Console and from there figure out if the page is being rendered correctly. If not, next steps are likely going to mean that you need to fix that first before moving on to other areas.

Why are you confused? It's totally normal to link a page to itself as the canonical. In the end most pages are the original of themselves.

Quoting this from the help center here at Moz: "It’s ok if a canonical tag points to the current URL. In other words, if URLs X, Y, and Z are duplicates, and X is the canonical version, it’s ok to put the tag pointing to X on URL X. This may sound obvious, but it’s a common point of confusion." - What is canonicalization?

Hey!

My two cents are, just have them indexed by the search engine and put a canonical tag on it leading to themselves. I would definitely make the case for that these pages are unique enough that they're not seen as duplicates. Your problem is one that many sites have with some kind of dynamic pages. In the end an e-commerce site is barely any different, you have product data but the template remains the same and is totally something that you could optimize for.

So, they're all unique, let them point to themselves and try to improve them even more. Potentially you have a very rich data set here that you can leverage even more for SEO.

Hi,

What you should realize is that a drop of 1 point in Domain Authority isn't the end of the world. You probably were already at the low end in this case of the number that you had. What likely would have happened is that you received some additional links (or maybe lost a couple) that were of lower domain authority by itself. With that your average receiving DA is decreasing a bit. But as this number is just a way to tell you what's going on I wouldn't recommend panicking over it as the data that Google has is more robust and isn't just based on 1 number like DA. I've seen many cases were DA can drop with 5-10+ points and traffic/business metrics aren't affected at all.

Hi Mark,

Can you store the details in a cookie that you can retrieve later? Can you load Google Tag Manager in SquareSpace? I know they're a bit limited but I'm not totally familiar with all the possibilities.

Hey David,

Depending on if you're using a custom template or not, you might want to look into this blog posts which is talking about that you can basically register files & styles to be inserted but they don't always have to have the version number: http://wpcrux.com/blog/wordpress-enqueue-functions-version/ . I've dealt with this once before, although it's a super tiny issue that is usually something that I would put on my roadmaps ;).

What specific feature are you looking for? There is a lot of what you can do on Bing too.

I can't think of a better alternative then the one you're already using. It depends a bit on your use case, if it's just about links you might be able to get some historical data from Majestic but that's probably not matching your intent.

You have excluded yourself through an IP filter or something else? Usually a robot wouldn't always trigger the JS though.

If you really did your research you would have noticed the header image is not using an extension.

Do you need a new keyboard?

@James Wolff: I'm really hoping you're being sarcastic here. As it's totally fine to serve it without the extension. There are many more ways for a crawler to understand what type a file is. Including what @MarathonRunner is talking about here.
