Fixing Render Blocking Javascript and CSS in the Above-the-fold content
-
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

Thanks for any tips,

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.
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

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

I will be right back and answer your other questions

Use this to make a critical render path
http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/critical-render-path.html
with
http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/css/ (for CSS)
this for JS
http://javascript-minifier.com/
If you add this it will fix this as well

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)

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

Managing Removed Content
I am a Real Estate Developer. Once a home goes off market (is sold), I had been using a 404 for that page. The problem: When the home goes up on market again, google will not re-index the new page (same URL) I have also tried to manage it a different way. Instead of removing the page, I left it as-is. At some later point time, the house goes back up on the market. The page is refreshed with new content. However, google decides to use cached version. Please note in either case, the property appears on the main page for a period of indexing. I have been doing this for 10 years, the problem is increasing with time.

Curious why site isn't ranking, rather seems like being penalized for duplicate content but no issues via Google Webmaster...
So we have a site ThePowerBoard.com and it has some pretty impressive links pointing back to it. It is obviously optimized for the keyword "Powerboard", but in no way is it even in the top 10 pages of Google ranking. If you site:thepowerboard.com the site, and/or Google just the URL thepowerboard.com you will see that it populates in the search results. However if you quote search just the title of the home page, you will see oddly that the domain doesn't show up rather at the bottom of the results you will see where Google places "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 7 already displayed". If you click on the link below that, then the site shows up toward the bottom of those results. Is this the case of duplicate content? Also from the developer that built the site said the following: "The domain name is www.thepowerboard.com and it is on a shared server in a folder named thehoverboard.com. This has caused issues trying to ssh into the server which forces us to ssh into it via it’s ip address rather than by domain name. So I think it may also be causing your search bot indexing problem. Again, I am only speculating at this point. The folder name difference is the only thing different between this site and any other site that we have set up." (Would this be the culprit? Looking for some expert advice as it makes no sense to us why this domain isn't ranking?

Best Practices for Leveraging Long Tail Content & Gated Content
Our B2B site has a lot of of long form content (e.g., transcriptions from presentations and webinars). We'd like to leverage the long tail SEO traffic driven to these pages and convert those visitors to leads. Essentially, we'd like Google to index all this lengthy, keyword-rich content AND we'd like to put up a read gate that requires users to register before viewing the full article. This is a B2B site, and the goal is to generate leads. Some considerations and questions: How much of the content to share before requiring registration? Ask too soon and it's a terrible user experience, give too much away and our business objectives are not met. Design-wise, what are good ways to do this? I notice Moz uses a "teaser" to block Mozinar content, and I've seen modals and blur bars on other sites. Any gotchas that Google doesn't like that we should be aware of? Trying to avoid anything that might seem like cloaking. Is it better to split the content across several pages (split a 10K word doc across 10 URLs and include a read gate on each) or keep to one page? Thank you!

Parallax, SEO, and Duplicate Content
We are working on a project that uses parallax to provide a great experience to the end user, and we are also trying to create a best case scenario for SEO. We have multiple keywords we are trying to optimize. We have multiple pages with the parallax function built into it. Basically each member of the primary navigation is it's own page, with all subpages built below it using the parallax function. Our navigation currently uses the hashbang method to provide custom URL's for each subpage. And the user is appropriately directed to the right section based on that hashbang. www.example.com/About < This is its own page www.example.com/about/#/history < This is a subpage that you scroll to on the About page We are trying to decide what the best method will be for trying to optimize each subpage, but my current concern is that because each subpage is really a part of the primary page, will all those URL's be seen as duplicate content? Currently the site can also serve each subpage as it's own page as well, so without the parallax function. Should I include those as part of the sitemap. There's no way to navigate to them unless I include them in the sitemap, but I don't want Google to think I'm disingenuous in providing them links that don't exist, solely for the purpose of SEO, but truthfully all of the content exists and is available to the user. I know that a lot of people are asking these questions, and there really are no right answers yet, but I'm curious about everyone else's experience so far.

What reason would scrapers, and syndication sites outrank all of our content?
Typing in any of our titles for content, scrapers and content syndication sites all outrank us by quite a bit. What is the main reason for this usually? I started noticing this happening quite a bit this year, and think maybe it has to do with panda. Has anyone figured out the reasoning?

Real Estate and Duplicate Content
Currently we use an MLS which is an iFrame of property listings. We plan to pay an extra fee and have the crawlable version. But one problem is that many real estate firms have access to the same data, which makes our content duplicate of theirs. Is there any way around this ? Thanks
