Does the coding of a website really what matter for SEO
-
Hello,
Just wondering if a site that is not coded correctly can hurt your seo even though as a human I can totally understand what is going on on the page and the structure of the website.
Thanks,

Thanks. How about if a h1 tag is in a module by itself for example on wordpress at the top of my page. Can it hurt ? wouldn’t it better if the h1 closed at the end of my page so that it includes my h2 h3 tags within the h1 for search engine to understand the relation between all the h tags ?

IMO the answer is: Absolutely, yes. Without a doubt.
I would type out my reasoning but feel that this post from 2016 just about covers it. Hope this helps!!

Urls in Bilingual websites
1-I have a bilingual website. Suppose that I am targeting a page for keyword "book" and I have included it in that page url for the English version: English version: www.abc.com/book Can I use the translation of "book" in the second language of the website url instead of "book" ? Please let me know which of the following urls are right " French Verison: www.abc.com/fr/book or www.abc.com/fr/livre livre=Book in French 2- Does Google have any tool to check if the second language page of the website has exactly the same content as the English version. What I want to do is for example for a certain page in English version, my targeted keyword is "book" . So my content would be around books. But in the French version of this page, I want to focus on keyword "Pencil" in French instead of "book". Is it wrong or any consequences? That was the main reason for the question number one. Because if it is ok to do what I explained in item 2 then I will set my urls like: In English : www.abc.com/book In French: www.abc.com/fr/crayon crayon=Pencil in French
