Google never had to swap over an
entire index to something new, this is
completely new and doing that without
experimentation is not possible. And sites

The document discusses three tips for optimizing website speed: 1) Using new image formats like WebP that are smaller in file size than JPEG and PNG, 2) Optimizing custom webfonts to reduce file size and number of HTTP requests, and 3) Implementing HTTP/2 to enable multiple requests over a single connection and reduce latency. It also covers critical path rendering which involves optimizing the resources needed to render the initial view above the fold.

For desktop-only sites, indexing stays the same,
however crawling will be done using a mobile UA:
“We will index mobile content, only if you don’t have
anything we will index desktop content – no one will
fall out!”.
Can I use accordion tabs, hidden tabs, etc. on my
mobile site?
Google is going to assign them the same value as
non-hidden content. Illyes said, Google is going to
ensure, that “hidden content is not valued less on a

Rendering SEO (explained by Google's Martin Splitt)

This document discusses how search engines like Google render and digest web page content. It notes that Google places more importance on text appearing above the fold, without needing to scroll. The document also references Google patents from 2012-2018 that focus on page layout. It indicates that Google limits the CPU consumption used to render pages, and that the prominence and location of content within the rendered page layout is important. Finally, it poses the question of whether optimizing for rendering and search engine processing can help websites rank better in search results.

In the SEO industry, we obsess on everything Google says, from John Mueller dropping a hint in a Webmaster Hangout, to the ranking data we spend £1000s to gather. Yet we ignore the data Google throws at us every day, the crawling data. For the longest time, site crawls, traffic data, and rankings have been the pillars of SEO data gathering. Log files should join them as something everyone is doing. We'll go through how to get everything set-up, look at some of the tools to make it easy and repeatable and go through the kinds of analysis you can do to get insights from the data.

How webpage loading takes place?

In this presentation, I have shown how a webpage is loaded on your viewport after you request for the same. The process is simple. Once you click on the URL, the browser makes a request to the webserver. The request is processed by the webserver. Web server files the response to the request and sends it to the browser. The requested page is sent to the web browser. The browser then loads and renders the page content. The requested page is then shown on the viewport.

It provides tips for SEOs, including that search engines don't interact with the page content in the same way users do, and content should be loaded by default without user interaction. It also discusses different approaches to rendering pages for search engines like server-side rendering versus client-side rendering.

Especially in a mobile-first world, fast loading websites are of utmost importance. Also, Google has been very vocal about anything web performance in the last few years and is pushing hard to innovate repeatedly. But performance is so much more! User satisfaction should be the main goal because expectations are clear: You’ve got two to three seconds maximum to deliver, so make it count. During Bastian's SearchLeeds 2018 talk he walked through various advanced topics around web performance optimisation going way beyond Accelerated Mobile Pages (and other short-term solutions) to make any website really, really fast.

Proper Responsive
34 @peakaceag pa.ag
What does proper responsive mean? #1
<picture>
▪ First and foremost: Different ways of showing
content per resolution (device). Design the
smallest viewport first, then work your way up.
Also, consider landscape vs portrait.
▪ Images: Best possible size, resolution & format. The
new <picture> element is a perfect starting point,
but there are lots more solutions. Also, consider fluid
images (they adapt to the container they are in).
35 @peakaceag pa.ag
What does proper responsive mean? #2
▪ Critical rendering path optimisation: Optimise
for time to first meaningful paint. Reduce round
trips; off-load JS and inline CSS – for each
resolution/breakpoint.
▪ Conditional loading of components: Only
request what's needed when visible. Combine with
pre-fetching and pre-rendering (only with high
resolutions).

▪ Implement effective caching and compression.
▪ Whenever possible, use asynchronous requests.
▪ Decrease size of CSS and JavaScript files (minify).
▪ Use a content distribution network (CDN) / an asset server
(as well as cookie-less domains) to optimize parallel requests.
▪ Lean mark-up (no comments, use inline CSS / JS only where
necessary or useful)
▪ Consider (DNS) pre-fetching & pre-rendering if feasible.

Heilmann discusses the state of web development technologies and how developers have focused too much on experimental features that are not ready for production use. This has led to a fragmented web where browsers implement features differently. He argues developers should focus on standardizing and improving existing web standards rather than constantly introducing new technologies.

Or any other time of overlay/pop-up that has negative effects on UX!

1. The document provides best practices and guidance for migrating websites, with a focus on search engine optimization. It emphasizes thorough preparation, testing changes gradually, and post-migration monitoring to ensure no issues occur. 2. Key steps include preparing the site by fixing errors, gathering URLs, benchmarking performance, and testing changes. All internal links, files, headers and technical elements need to be updated. 3. During implementation, changes should be made gradually and thoroughly tested. Search console needs to be configured for the new site. Post-migration, redirects, errors and performance must be monitored closely.

This is an older slide deck I realized I never uploaded. It is a slightly longer deck than the Night at the SPA deck. This features many concepts that are forerunners to the modern progressive web application. There are slides related to web performance best practices, JavaScript architecture, responsive web design, touch and much more.

#6 Check GSC fetch & render for mobile as well
Pay close attention: identical content, anything missing, blocked resources?
50 @peakaceag pa.ag
#7 Do a full site health check and focus on mobile issues
DeepCrawl has in-depth reporting on everything mobile
51 @peakaceag pa.ag
#8 Simulate Googlebot for smartphones with JS rendering
ScreamingFrog can do that easily; again, pay close attention to rendered output
52 @peakaceag pa.ag
#9 Get all the content to your mobile site
Is your schema.org markup available on mobile; indexation rules, canonical tags, etc.?
Usually, rel-canonicals, structured data,
hreflang, other annotations and even
images are missing! Copy everything you
want to rank for over to mobile (for now)!”

Welcome to a new reality - DeepCrawl Webinar 2018

  • 1. Bastian Grimm, Peak Ace AG | @basgr Crawling, indexing & ranking in the age of a mobile first world Welcome to a new reality!
  • 2. Why all the fuss?
  • 3. 3 @peakaceag pa.ag Mobile first indexing challenges #1 Source: Gary Illyes @ SMX Advanced Seattle 2017 Google never had to swap over an entire index to something new, this is completely new and doing that without experimentation is not possible. And sites should not be hurt, therefore large scale indexing experiments will be conducted.”
  • 4. 4 @peakaceag pa.ag Mobile first indexing challenges #2 Source: Gary Illyes @ SMX Advanced Seattle 2017 Figuring out for 18-year-old desktop signals: How can this be used for the mobile web? E.g. the link graph/PR is different and totally messed up; how can Google make this work?”
  • 5. 5 @peakaceag pa.ag Mobile first indexing is about Google preferring and organising cross-device content in a way that it can be easily queried from and displayed on a lot of different devices. CrawlingIndexing RankingMobile What is mobile first indexing anyways?
  • 6. 6 @peakaceag pa.ag Mobile is dominating – 60 % of searches are non-desktop Mobile search usage surpassed desktop in 2015 already; Hitwise reported in 08/2016 that nearly 60 percent of searches now happen on mobile devices. Source: Hitwise (http://pa.ag/2qofNNV) & SearchEngineLand (http://pa.ag/2pT2OA7) Share of online searches initiated on a mobile device, by industry:
  • 7. 7 @peakaceag pa.ag Lots of different “experiences“ depending on intent:
  • 8. 8 @peakaceag pa.ag Mobile search results for “Game of Thrones” (US) Source: Google US, Mobile SERP on iPhone6 – 24/08/2017 Looking for those organic results? Well… good luck!
  • 9. 9 @peakaceag pa.ag Even questions are answered directly on (mobile) Chrome Via Twitter: http://pa.ag/2tQfXA9
  • 10. In the future, your rankings will be based on your mobile website entirely. From desktop to mobile
  • 11. 11 @peakaceag pa.ag Google announced mobile first indexing in 11/2016 It feels like even Google doesn’t know how and when some things will work.
  • 12. What do we know?
  • 13. 13 @peakaceag pa.ag Google confirmed: there will still only be one index! Source: http://pa.ag/2fVfl5q
  • 14. 14 @peakaceag pa.ag What about desktop-only sites? How to deal with common mobile site patterns such as tab switches, carousels, etc.? Source: SMX Advanced 2017, Seattle For desktop-only sites, indexing stays the same, however crawling will be done using a mobile UA: “We will index mobile content, only if you don’t have anything we will index desktop content – no one will fall out!”. Can I use accordion tabs, hidden tabs, etc. on my mobile site? Google is going to assign them the same value as non-hidden content. Illyes said, Google is going to ensure, that “hidden content is not valued less on a mobile site”. + - + Lorem Ipsum dolor Lorem Ipsum dolor Lorem Ipsum dolor Lorem Ipsum dolor Lorem Ipsum dolor Lorem Ipsum dolor
  • 15. 15 @peakaceag pa.ag Site- & content-parity is absolutely crucial! Make sure desktop & mobile are in sync; content, annotations, etc. Source: SMX Advanced 2017, Seattle What if the mobile site has less content compared to the desktop site? Ranking will be based on “shorter“ content! (Basically, you need to ensure that whatever you want to rank for will be present on mobile). Mobile ranking factors (including mobile friendliness testing) will generally remain unchanged.
  • 16. 16 @peakaceag pa.ag Early on we saw crazy stuff! 4,500 visibility on desktop! Mobile subdomain started to rank for desktop queries… real-world testing with live sites!
  • 17. 17 @peakaceag pa.ag Some stuff is entirely useless… F.e. desktop site-links pointing to mobile; great use case! (only after MFI announcement)
  • 18. 18 @peakaceag pa.ag I asked about notifications for switched-sites in 2017: Source: Gary Illyes @ International Search Summit 2017, Barcelona I don’t believe we will be giving you any type of notification once you have been switched to mobile first indexing.
  • 19. 19 @peakaceag pa.ag Thankfully someone apparently listened: Source: https://pa.ag/2KxZ0iZ
  • 20. 20 @peakaceag pa.ag What is “mobile“ anyways? iPhone, iPad or even bigger? What is the standard desktop resolution?
  • 21. Consider: When rendering, Google requests (nearly) everything that belongs to a site (JavaScript, CSS, etc.). Before we get into that:
  • 22. …of all sites are using JavaScript; this is ultimately why Google started to render sites instead of just crawling them! 93.7 %
  • 23. 23 @peakaceag pa.ag View source is dead. Dead as a doornail.
  • 24. 24 @peakaceag pa.ag Interested in JavaScript framework compatibility for SEO? Check out Bartosz‘ massive research on crawlability and indexability! Read more: http://pa.ag/2qLqlqH
  • 25. With rendering there is no one-size-fits-all solution… Rendering: which resolution?
  • 26. 26 @peakaceag pa.ag 1024 x 768 only! Why is that important now? Watch your responsive breakpoints, portrait vs. landscape, etc. – basically everything that’s important to you needs to be rendered properly!
  • 27. 27 @peakaceag pa.ag GSC Fetch & Render is limited to 10,000 pixels in height Source: http://pa.ag/2A5630t
  • 28. 28 @peakaceag pa.ag Rendering seems to be more important than ever! Rankings tanked when GSC Fetch & Render wasn‘t able to render the page properly.
  • 29. 29 @peakaceag pa.ag Google currently uses Chrome 41 to render your site Keep in mind: this version was released in March 2015 – it’s ancient! Source: http://pa.ag/2hRnwP2
  • 30. 30 @peakaceag pa.ag Bonus > GSC fetch & render (almost) everyone you like Simply use a 100 % iFrame to see how Google will render any given website
  • 32. 32 @peakaceag pa.ag The average consumer uses five devices! You can’t build and maintain dedicated sites for everything, e.g. one for iPad or even different pages for all the mobile phone screen resolutions. Source: http://pa.ag/2ffuGNp & http://pa.ag/2fHvLhz 90 % of all users start a task on one device and finish it on another.
  • 33. Also from an SEO standpoint, this has various advantages: Proper Responsive
  • 34. 34 @peakaceag pa.ag What does proper responsive mean? #1 <picture> ▪ First and foremost: Different ways of showing content per resolution (device). Design the smallest viewport first, then work your way up. Also, consider landscape vs portrait. ▪ Images: Best possible size, resolution & format. The new <picture> element is a perfect starting point, but there are lots more solutions. Also, consider fluid images (they adapt to the container they are in).
  • 35. 35 @peakaceag pa.ag What does proper responsive mean? #2 ▪ Critical rendering path optimisation: Optimise for time to first meaningful paint. Reduce round trips; off-load JS and inline CSS – for each resolution/breakpoint. ▪ Conditional loading of components: Only request what's needed when visible. Combine with pre-fetching and pre-rendering (only with high resolutions).
  • 36. 36 @peakaceag pa.ag What does proper responsive mean? #3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> <h1>Heading</h1> <p>Paragraph</p> </body> </html> ▪ Optimise paint and re-paint, especially for small resolutions/breakpoints. CSS media queries can help a lot. ▪ Keep your DOM clean (hiding elements is only half the truth).
  • 37. Fast loading time plays an important role in overall user experience! Performance = user experience!
  • 38. 38 @peakaceag pa.ag Revisited: PageSpeed (load time) is a ranking factor Surprise, surprise; now also on mobile! Source: http://pa.ag/2iAmA4Y & http://pa.ag/2ERTPYY
  • 39. 39 @peakaceag pa.ag Google loves site speed and keeps pushing for faster sites
  • 40. 40 @peakaceag pa.ag Please don’t forget your desktop now; both are relevant! Especially for responsive sites this can be a massive challenge! Source: https://pa.ag/2FGGKAi With the mobile first index, will desktop rankings use mobile page speed instead of desktop page speed? No […] as mentioned […], while our index will be built from mobile documents, we’re going to continue to build a great search experience for all users, whether they come from mobile or desktop devices.
  • 41. 41 @peakaceag pa.ag Make sure to get the basics right! All slides on SlideShare: http://pa.ag/iss17speed Use my checklist on SlideShare to double check: ▪ Optimize images: reduce overhead for JPGs & PNGs (metadata, etc.), request proper sized images and try new formats. ▪ Implement effective caching and compression. ▪ Whenever possible, use asynchronous requests. ▪ Decrease size of CSS and JavaScript files (minify). ▪ Use a content distribution network (CDN) / an asset server (as well as cookie-less domains) to optimize parallel requests. ▪ Lean mark-up (no comments, use inline CSS / JS only where necessary or useful) ▪ Consider (DNS) pre-fetching & pre-rendering if feasible. ▪ Watch (& optimize) for TTFB, don’t forget you back-end architecture / systems (e.g. DB, webserver etc.).
  • 42. 10 tips to prepare your website:
  • 43. 43 @peakaceag pa.ag #1 Understand your mobile setup and its pros & cons! What are you using and why? Is the configuration done properly? www.example.com x www.example.com x www.example.com x m.example.com x Responsive Web Design Dynamic Serving Independent Mobile Site Don´t block images, CSS & JS resources Include the vary: user agent HTTP header Identify & serve the relevant web version to the right user agent Implement rel alternate & canonical tags between mobile & desktop URLs. Implement 301-redirects between mobile & desktop to refer the user agent to the relevant web version Responsive Web Design Dynamic Serving Independent Mobile Site
  • 44. 44 @peakaceag pa.ag #2 Are you targeting the right keywords on mobile? Check search demand based on device split and adjust accordingly Selling (transactional) Buying (transactional) VS
  • 45. 45 @peakaceag pa.ag #3 Are you sure your site really is mobile friendly? Easy test: verify yourself using built-in Chrome DevTools (Ctrl+Shift+I)!
  • 46. 46 @peakaceag pa.ag Test multiple URLs at once Check it out: https://technicalseo.com/seo-tools/mobile-friendly/
  • 47. 47 @peakaceag pa.ag #4 Make sure to not prevent access by using interstitials! Or any other time of overlay/pop-up that has negative effects on UX! Source: http://pa.ag/2tPmhIi Examples of interstitials that make content less accessible intrusive popup intrusive standalone interstitial intrusive standalone interstitial interstitial for cookie usage interstitial for age verification banner that uses a reasonable amount of screen space Examples of interstitials that would not be affected by the new signal, if used responsibly
  • 48. 48 @peakaceag pa.ag #5 Did you check all GSC reports properly? Of course the mobile usability report – but what about rich cards, these are also mobile?
  • 49. 49 @peakaceag pa.ag #6 Check GSC fetch & render for mobile as well Pay close attention: identical content, anything missing, blocked resources?
  • 50. 50 @peakaceag pa.ag #7 Do a full site health check and focus on mobile issues DeepCrawl has in-depth reporting on everything mobile
  • 51. 51 @peakaceag pa.ag #8 Simulate Googlebot for smartphones with JS rendering ScreamingFrog can do that easily; again, pay close attention to rendered output
  • 52. 52 @peakaceag pa.ag #9 Get all the content to your mobile site Is your schema.org markup available on mobile; indexation rules, canonical tags, etc.? Usually, rel-canonicals, structured data, hreflang, other annotations and even images are missing! Copy everything you want to rank for over to mobile (for now)!”
