          We don't have a responsive design site yet, and our mobile site is built through Dudamobile. I know it's not the best, but I'm trying to do whatever we can until we get around to redesigning it. Is there anything I can do about the following Page Speed Insight errors or are they just a function of using Dudamobile?

          Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content

          Your page has 3 blocking script resources and 5 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

          • http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js
          • http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ckage.min.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04
          • http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…pts/blogs.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04

          Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:

          • http://fonts.googleapis.com/…:400|Great+Vibes|Signika:400,300,600,700
          • http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ont-pack.css?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04
          • http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…kage.min.css?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04

          • http://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/…mpruge/files/kempruge_home_0.min.css?v=6

          Thanks for any tips,

          Ruben

                there is not a very easy way to modify HTML on WordPress because it is all based on PHP. Unless you can change the PHP code via by FTP or many other methods including plug-ins it takes a developer.

                http://www.gregreindel.com

                I know a person who could fix this for you very easily there contact information is in the URL under contact. There are also some plug-ins that will eliminate this

                https://wordpress.org/plugins/async-js-and-css/screenshots/

                the best methods in my opinion are done by a developer or sometimes a plug-in

                    Actually, I have a quick follow up. In my wp-admin in the editor section, I only see CSS and PHP files. Then, on the ftp, I see a public_html folder, but that folder has a ton of different files in it...none of which end in html. Any suggestions on where this html file might live?

                    Thanks,

                    Ruben

                      I will take a look at it. Yes, I do need to do it on our Wordpress site as well, but fortunately, Page Speed Insights doesn't think our desktop version is as abysmal as our mobile one. But, it does still show up as something that should be fixed.

                      Thanks for the reference material!

                        you will also need to find your Cardinal path and simply combine JavaScript and CSS as well as prioritize content that is above the fold. By doing so this will help you to create one JS file ( possibly more if it is impossible to combine for whatever reason)

                        See more here

                          Hi Ruben,

                          Here is a tutorial on how to fix that issue. If I could explain it better than this I would however I feel this does a fantastic job if you're doing this on WordPress let me know and I will tell you how to fix it on there is well.

                          Here's the resource

                          http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/render-blocking.html

                          http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/defer-loading-javascript.html

                          The below code is what Google recommends. This code should be placed in your HTML just before the tag (near the bottom of your HTML file). I highlighted the name of the external JS file.

                          sincerely,

                          Thomas

                            Hiding content until user scrolls - Will Google penalize me?

                            I've used: "opacity:0;" to hide sections of my content, which are triggered to show (using Javascript) once the user scrolls over these sections. I remember reading a while back that Google essentially ignores content which is hidden from your page (it mentioned they don't index it, so it's close to impossible to rank for it). Is this still the case? Thanks, Sam

                            Problems preventing Wordpress attachment pages from being indexed and from being seen as duplicate content.

                            Hi According to a Moz Crawl, it looks like the Wordpress attachment pages from all image uploads are being indexed and seen as duplicate content..or..is it the Yoast sitemap causing it? I see 2 options in SEO Yoast: Redirect attachment URLs to parent post URL. Media...Meta Robots: noindex, follow I set it to (1) initially which didn't resolve the problem.  Then I set it to option (2) so that all images won't be indexed but search engines would still associate those images with their relevant posts and pages. However, I understand what both of these options (1) and (2) mean, but because I chose option 2, will that mean all of the images on the website won't stand a chance of being indexed in search engines and Google Images etc? As far as duplicate content goes, search engines can get confused and there are 2 ways for search engines
                            to reach the correct page content destination. But when eg Google makes the wrong choice a portion of traffic drops off (is lost hence errors) which then leaves the searcher frustrated, and this affects the seo and ranking of the site which worsens with time. My goal here is - I would like all of the web images to be indexed by Google, and for all of the image attachment pages to not be indexed at all (Moz shows the image attachment pages as duplicates and the referring site causing this is the sitemap url which Yoast creates) ; that sitemap url has been submitted to the search engines already and I will resubmit once I can resolve the attachment pages issues.. Please can you advise. Thanks.

                            Above the Fold Content - Use of large images

                            Hi All, Our designers have come to the SEO team to ask if have a large image across the top of the page taking up a large majority of the above the fold real estate will impact our SEO. Our initial thoughts are no as long as we have an optimised H1 visibal to the user landing there which informs them what the page is about. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

                            Can anyone recommend a tool that will identify unused and duplicate CSS across an entire site?

                            Hi all, So far I have found this one: http://unused-css.com/   It looks like it identifies unused, but perhaps not duplicates? It also has a 5,000 page limit and our site is 8,000+ pages....so we really need something that can handle a site larger than their limit. I do have Screaming Frog. Is there a way to use Screaming Frog to locate unused and duplicate CSS? Any recommendations and/or tips would be great. I am also aware of the Firefix extensions, but to my knowledge they will only do one page at a time? Thanks!

                            I am working on a site that has a HUGE number of duplicate pages due to ECWID ecommerce platform.  The site is built with Joomla!  How can I rectify this situation?  The pages also show up as "external " links on crawls...  Is it the ECWID platform?  I have never worked on a site that uses this. Here is an example of a page with the issue (there are 6280 issues) URL: http://www.metroboltmi.com/shop-spare-parts?Itemid=218&option=com_rokecwid&view=ecwid&ecwid_category_id=3560081

                            How will it affect my site if i link to a site with adult content?

                            We are currently working on creating 2 sites for a company, one with no adult content, one with adult content. Will it affect the non adult content site if i link to the other one in terms of Google and being blocked by some internet providers.

                            Duplicate Content for index.html

                            In the Crawl Diagnostics Summary, it says that I have two pages with duplicate content which are: www.mywebsite.com/ www.mywebsite.com/index.html I read in a Dream Weaver tutorial that you should name your home page "index.html" and then you can let www.mywebsite.com automatically direct the user to index.html.  Is this a bug in SEOMoz's crawler or is it a real problem with my site? Thank you, Dan
