          Hello,

          I have been publishing a good number of blogs on my site Flooring Flow. Though, there's been an error of the video viewport on some of my articles.

          I have tried fixing it but the error is still showing in Google Search Console.

          Can anyone help me fix it out?

                Viewport Configuration: The viewport meta tag is essential for responsive web design, as it tells the browser how to adjust the page's dimensions Ehsaas program and scale to fit different screen sizes. If the viewport is not configured correctly for video elements, search engines may have difficulty indexing and displaying videos properly.

                Lazy Loading: Lazy loading is a technique used to improve page load times by deferring the loading of non-essential content, such as images and videos, until the user scrolls to that section of the page. If lazy loading is not correctly implemented for videos, it can lead to indexing issues.

                Missing Video Sitemaps: Sitemaps are files that provide information about the content on your website to search engines. If you have videos on your site, it's essential to have a video sitemap that provides details about the videos, such as their titles, descriptions, and URLs. This helps search engines index your videos more effectively.

                Accessibility Issues: Video content should be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. If your videos lack proper captions, transcripts, or other accessibility features, it may lead to indexing issues.

                  If your site pages are experiencing a "video index viewport issue," it likely refers to problems related to how videos are indexed and displayed within the viewport on your website. The viewport is the visible area of a web page that a user can see without scrolling. Without further information, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact issue, but here are some common reasons and potential solutions for video index viewport problems:

                  Responsive Design: Ensure that your website has a responsive design, meaning it adapts and displays correctly on various screen sizes and devices. If the video container's size isn't adjusting properly to different viewports, the video may be cut off or not visible entirely.

                  Viewport Meta Tag: Make sure your web pages include the viewport meta tag in the <head> section. This tag helps the browser to correctly scale and render the content to fit different screen sizes.

                  Example viewport meta tag: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
                  Video Element Attributes: Check the HTML attributes of the video element. Setting the width and height attributes can help the browser allocate the correct space for the video player.

                  Example video element:<video width="640" height="360" controls>
                  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
                  Your browser does not support the video tag.
                  </video>
                  CSS Issues: Review your CSS styles to ensure that they don't interfere with the video's display. Sometimes, conflicting styles or positioning can lead to improper video rendering.

                  Lazy Loading: If you are using lazy loading for videos, verify that it's implemented correctly. Lazy loading delays the loading of the video until it's about to come into the user's viewport, which might affect how it's indexed and displayed.

                  JavaScript Conflicts: Check if any JavaScript on your site is causing conflicts with video players or the viewport settings.

                  Browser Compatibility: Test your site on various browsers to ensure that the issue isn't browser-specific.

                  Video Format: Ensure that your videos are in a format supported by major browsers, such as MP4 with H.264 video codec and AAC audio codec.

                  Server Configuration: In some cases, server misconfigurations may lead to video loading issues. Ensure that your server is correctly configured to serve videos.

                  Testing and Debugging: Use browser developer tools to inspect the video element and check for any errors or warnings related to the video player or viewport.

                    the same issue is also occurring in my web stories when uploading any video to them. How to solve it. I have also added a video sitemap, also reduces the video size but does not solve the issue.

                      @mitty27 Your iFrame at the top of the page is hard set to 1200px width which could cause problems. Please provide some specific URLs that GSC has identified with the viewport issue for specific answers to those. Thanks and good luck!

                          Need some help understanding SEO - Please help before I lose [pull out] all my hair

                          technical seo getting beaten sites with no seo ranking 1

                          I'm new to SEO, and am stubbornly trying to educate myself. I have a telescope shop in Canada, it's a small business that we run on the side. We're driving lots of traffic through FB and our outreach programs but I really want to increase our presence on search. We released a new website back in January and it killed some of our rankings. We're working our way back with a very specific set of efforts on regular SEO: Metadata and titles, although it seems that's not super relevant Building high quality backlinks and eliminating any spammy backlinks Rewriting product listings so that they are original content though I'm not sure how important this is in e-commerce Writing high quality articles and blog posts Working relevant keywords into our product pages and titles I understand that good SEO is about pushing on all the levers, and trying to make sure that your site is as valuable to the end user as possible. We're making some good progress, but I'm puzzled by the #1 shop in Canada. They don't put any apparent effort into SEO and they still rank #1 on every key product we compete with them on. I've worked with two separate, highly ranked and regarded SEO firms on this and neither has been able to tell my why this other site ranks so highly. Here's a specific example on a popular product that we both sell, the Celestron NexStar 8SE. Here’s the link to Telescope Canada’s page for their Celestron 8SE: https://telescopescanada.ca/products/celestron-nexstar-8se-computerized-telescope-11069 Here’s a link to the Celestron 8SE page from the manufacturer website: https://www.celestron.com/products/nexstar-8se-computerized-telescope Telescopes Canada has just copied and pasted. There is no original content aside from adding the shipping and return policy to the tab, and having some options for selecting accessories on the page. Here is our page: https://all-startelescope.com/products/celestron-nexstar-8se We have higher page authority, higher domain authority, and they keyword analyzer in moz says that our page is higher quality than the Telescopes Canada page. I can’t find a single metric on any tool (ubbersuggest, Moz, ahrefs, semrush) that says Telescopes Canada is a better site, or has a better NexStar 8SE product page. But they keep ranking ahead of us, and right at the top of google search. Our titles are good, our metadata is good (but I don’t think that’s been a serious ranking factor for about ten years). Our text is original, it’s relevant, we have healthy internal links to the page. According to Moz's page ranker it's 20 points higher than Telescope Canada's page. We have invensted in some excellent blog content, we’re adding new products to the website so that we rank for more keywords. All of those things are helping, but I fundamentally don’t understand why Telescopes Canada is #1 almost across the board on every key product in our market. There is something that I’m not seeing here. Can you see any metric, any tool in your toolbox that indicates why they rank at the top, or even higher than we do for in these search terms specific to that product: Celestron NexStar 8SE
                          NexStar 8SE
                          Celestron NexStar 8SE Canada
                          NexStar 8SE Canada I have a feeling it's something technical that I'm missing, but I'm not sure how obvious it is with two 'professional' firms not finding it. I'd really appreciate any help or insight that you can offer.

                          Duplicate Content Issues on Product Pages

                          Hi guys Just keen to gauge your opinion on a quandary that has been bugging me for a while now. I work on an ecommerce website that sells around 20,000 products. A lot of the product SKUs are exactly the same in terms of how they work and what they offer the customer. Often it is 1 variable that changes. For example, the product may be available in 200 different sizes and 2 colours (therefore 400 SKUs available to purchase). Theese SKUs have been uploaded to the website as individual entires so that the customer can purchase them, with the only difference between the listings likely to be key signifiers such as colour, size, price, part number etc. Moz has flagged these pages up as duplicate content. Now I have worked on websites long enough now to know that duplicate content is never good from an SEO perspective, but I am struggling to work out an effective way in which I can display such a large number of almost identical products without falling foul of the duplicate content issue. If you wouldnt mind sharing any ideas or approaches that have been taken by you guys that would be great!

                          Dear all, starting with my .htaccess file: RewriteEngine On
                          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.inlinear.com$ [NC]
                          RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://inlinear.com/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.html 
                          RewriteRule ^(.)index.html$ http://inlinear.com/ [R=301,L] 1. I redirect all URL-requests with www. to the non www-version...
                          2. all requests with "index.html" will be redirected to "domain.com/" My questions are: A) When linking from a page to my frontpage (home) the best practice is?: "http://domain.com/" the best and NOT: "http://domain.com/index.php" B) When linking to the index of a subfolder "http://domain.com/products/index.php" I should link also to: "http://domain.com/products/" and not put also the index.php..., right? C) When I define the canonical ULR, should I also define it just: "http://domain.com/products/" or in this case I should link to the definite file: "http://domain.com/products**/index.php**" Is A) B) the best practice? and C) ? Thanks for all replies! 🙂

                          How to stop my webmail pages not to be indexed on Google ??

                          when i did a search in google for Site:mywebsite.com , for a list of pages indexed. Surprisingly the following come up " Webmail - Login " Although this is associated with the domain , this is a completely different server , this the rackspace email server browser interface  I am sure that there is nothing on the website that links or points to this.
                          So why is Google indexing it ? & how do I get it out of there. I tried in webmaster tool but I could not , as it seems like a sub-domain. Any ideas ? Thanks Naresh Sadasivan
