          I know this is not a marketing question but this community is very dev savvy so I'm hoping someone can help me. At random times we're finding that our website pages load without the main body content. The header, footer and navigation loads just fine. If you refresh, it's fine but that's not a solution.

          • Happens on Chrome, IE and Firefox, testing with multiple browser versions
          • Happens across various page types - but seems to be only the main content section/container
          • Happens while on the company network, as well as externally
          • Happens after deleting cookies, temporary internet files and restarting computer
          • We are using a CMS that is virtually unheard of - Bridgeline/Iapps
          • Codebase is .net

          Our IT/Dev group keeps pushing back, blaming it on cookies or Chrome plugins because they apparently are unable to "recreate the problem". This has been going on for months and it's a terrible experience for the user to have. It's also not great when landing PPC visitors on pages that load with no content. If anyone has ideas as to why this may be happening I would really appreciate it.

          I'm not sure if links are allowed, by today the issue happened on this page serversdirect.com/dm/geek-biz

            Thanks Gazzerman - This helps as well. Yes, I agree the site definitely needs SEO attention. It was not until recently that a more experience team was brought on to 'fix the site'.

              I took one look at the code and was amazed by how much is inline. Most of it should be in js and css files. I noticed the solutions pages many of them don't even have title tags! What's going on there? That needs seo attention and is a big no no for coding. This leads me to believe the code needs very close inspection. It surly cant take that long to strip a whole bunch of that code out of each page or template.

              If a page is slow to load or pulls in external js files as well you can have scripts try to execute before the required code has loaded. This is probably what is happening some of the time and would explain the inconsistent nature of it.

              Run the site through a bunch of validators. I am sure you will find a bunch of stuff.

                Oddly enough it only seemed to happen on the /Servers page - for me at least. The first time I loaded the page, I got a broken image and an X-Out/Close box. That may help you hone in on the problem.

                  Travis - Thanks for your response. This gives me a better idea of where to start looking. Honestly this site was very poorly developed in my opinion. It was before my time and much of it outsourced to junior teams overseas, which is evident when looking at the source code. But I am stuck with it for now.

                    Found the site. I'm able to recreate the problem. Check the image attachment.

                    I ran it through tools.pingdom.com, a chrome extension called cast_sender.js isn't loading. But something makes me think there's an issue with the CSS that only crops up from time to time, like the JS blocks it every once in a while. There's both a Global.css and a Global.js in the head. There are also folder levels called /Script%20Library/ and /Style%20Library/.

                    There's a ton of JavaScript on the site, which I don't have time to get into. And honestly, I'm more of a WordPress guy. I managed to make the page load fail a few times out of a dozen or so tries. I think something in the JavaScript is causing the issue.

                      How is Single Page Application (SPA) bad for SEO

                      Hi guys. I am quite inspired of SPA technique. It's really amazing when all your interaction with the site is going on the fly and you don't see any page reloads. I've started implementing the site with this instruction and already found nice guys to make the design. The only downside of the using SPA which I can see **is the **SEO part. That's because the URL does not really change and different pages don't have their unique URL addresses. 
                      Actually they have, but it looks like: yoursite.com/#/products yoursite.com/#/prices yoursite.com/#/contact So all of them goes after # and being just anchors. For Google this mean all of these pages is just yoursite.com/ My question is what is really proven method to implement the URL structure in Single Page Application, so all the pages indexed by Google correctly (sorry I don't mention the other search engines because of market share). The other question, of course, is examples. It will be great to see real life site examples, better authority sites, which use SPA technique and well indexed by search engines.

                      Website rankings drop significantly after moving to new hosting provider

                      My website - www.isacleanse.co.nz has dropped from being top10 rankings for all of my keywords to not even being in top 50 after just checking now. It used to be hosted on: www.1stdomains.nz
                      It got migrated to Sitground servers about a month ago See attached screenshot - would moving hosting provider cause such a huge drop? Or would there be anything else I should be looking at ? J2ahi

                      Website Redesign and Migration to Squarespace killed my Ranking

                      My old website was dated, ugly, impossible to update and a mess between hard-coded pages and WP, but we were ranking #1 in the organic searches for our key words. I just redesigned my website using Squarespace.  I kept most of the same text on the pages (for key words) and kept the same Meta-Tags and Title Tags for each page as much as possible. Once I was satisfied that I had done as much on-page optimization as I could, I changed the IP in our Domain Name Registry so that it would point to our new website on the Squarespace host.  And our new website was live! ...Then I watched in dismay as our ranking fell into oblivion. I think this might have something to do with not doing any 301 redirects from the old website and losing all of my link juice. Is this the case?  And, if so, how do I fix it? Our website url is www.kanataskinclinic.ca Thanks

                      Https pages indexed but all web pages are http - please can you offer some help?

                      Dear Moz Community, Please could you see what you think and offer some definite steps or advice.. I contacted the host provider and his initial thought was that WordPress was causing the https problem ?: eg when an https version of a page is called, things like videos and media don't always show up. A SSL certificate that is attached to a website, can allow pages to load over https. The host said that there is no active configured SSL it's just waiting as part of the hosting package just in case, but I found that the SSL certificate is still showing up during a crawl.It's important to eliminate the https problem before external backlinks link to any of the unwanted https pages that are currently indexed. Luckily I haven't started any intense backlinking work yet, and any links I have posted in search land have all been http version.I checked a few more url's to see if it’s necessary to create a permanent redirect from https to http. For example, I tried requesting domain.co.uk using the https:// and the https:// page loaded instead of redirecting automatically to http prefix version.  I know that if I am automatically redirected to the http:// version of the page, then that is the way it should be. Search engines and visitors will stay on the http version of the site and not get lost anywhere in https. This also helps to eliminate duplicate content and to preserve link juice. What are your thoughts regarding that?As I understand it, most server configurations should redirect by default when https isn’t configured, and from my experience I’ve seen cases where pages requested via https return the default server page, a 404 error, or duplicate content. So I'm confused as to where to take this.One suggestion would be to disable all https since there is no need to have any traces to SSL when the site is even crawled ?. I don't want to enable https in the htaccess only to then create a https to http rewrite rule; https shouldn't even be a crawlable function of the site at all.RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{HTTPS} offor to disable the SSL completely for now until it becomes a necessity for the website.I would really welcome your thoughts as I'm really stuck as to what to do for the best, short term and long term.Kind Regards

                      Recommended Website Monitoring Tools

                      Hi, I was wondering what people would recommend for website monitoring (IE is my website working as it should!). I need something that will:
                      1/. Allow multiple page monitoring not just homepage
                      2/. Do header status checking
                      3/. Do page content checking (ie if the page changes massively, or include the word "error") then we have an issue!
                      4/. Multiple alert possibilities. We currently use www.websitepulse.com and it is a good service that does all the above, however it just seems so overly complex that its hard to understand what is going on, and its complex functionality and features are really a negative in our case. Thanks
