My fellow Enfold users,
I am facing a lot of trouble getting the content part of https://herpesfree.co.uk/ indexed. Two days ago, I spoke to my contact from Google Ads, and he confirmed that nothing was wrong with the website build., Content is unique, no penalties, load speed is ok etc etc. Google Search Console is green-lighting everything as well. He then told me, that he suspected my template to be the cause of my problem. Google has indexed all URLs, but content is nowhere to be found on SERP. He then explained to me that the CSS could be too heavy to be considered “user-friendly”. I believe he was addressing the load-speed here. Anyways, I don’t know. Do you?
Has anyone had similar issues when using the Enfold theme? Please don’t get me wrong – I am happy about the theme and I use it in many other countries without problems. The explanation for this could be that Google’s algorithm works differently in the co.uk engine.
If anyone could cast a glance at the project, I would be forever thankful. I really, really need to get this solved asap.
Really hoping to hear from someone!
All the best, Martin
Hey Martin,
I very much doubt that the CSS would be the reason as to why your site is not showing up in serps. If you look at the test in private then you will see that CSS only accounts for just over 4% of the total weight of your site. The more likely reason as to why your site is not showing in serps would be that it’s new(?), and not trusted by Google yet. I would suggest that you try getting some quality backlinks, and shares on social networks. Then simply wait, and continue to add content to your site on a regular basis.
Best regards,
RikardHi Rikard – thanks for your reply!
The website is more than a year old already.
However, I think we might have found the solution. Or the problem rather. When manually doing a Google search “site:herpesfree.co.uk”, the cached example came up blank. The same thing happened when nerding it a bit more on Search Console, see screenshot http://prntscr.com/uvv76u. Robot.txt is blocking Googlebot, but this is only the Google Ads bot. Google should still be able to crawl the website.
I have three programmers working on a solution. If they can’t come up with anything, we will have to nuke the domain and rebuild everything from scratch.
Nobody understands how this could happen. We have numerous other domains – with the exact same build. The .co.uk domain is actually the last produced website. Everything is copied from another domain ie. Herpesfree.de – except for the content. All content is unique.
Google works in mysterious ways :)
