1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:02,310
Let Google scrub everything.

2
00:00:03,230 --> 00:00:12,110
Do you block Google both from accessing JavaScript or C, SS or other important parts of your site's

3
00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:12,520
call?

4
00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:18,830
This used to be no big deal, but today this is a very bad idea.

5
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:26,440
Unless Google can fully crawl over your page, they can tell it's mobile friendly or not.

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:34,940
And if they are not sure if it is mobile friendly, good luck ranking in the mobile first index.

7
00:00:36,050 --> 00:00:38,340
How do you know if this is an issue?

8
00:00:39,050 --> 00:00:42,530
First, check out your robots file.

9
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:51,470
But don't worry if you are using search engine optimization with videos for WordPress, asylum teaching,

10
00:00:51,470 --> 00:00:52,780
everything is OK.

11
00:00:53,690 --> 00:01:02,810
This those here Googlebot do not to crawl or index certain parts of your sign, this file is usually

12
00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:04,370
found at site.

13
00:01:04,370 --> 00:01:06,320
Com robots, the XDA.

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,150
You can also see it inside of the Google search console.

15
00:01:14,130 --> 00:01:23,100
While you are Derek, click on Gugger Index and you can see if you have some blocked resources, this

16
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:30,570
will let you know if you are blocking Google both from controlling certain parts of your site, if you

17
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:34,530
are not blocking anything important, your set.

18
00:01:35,690 --> 00:01:40,410
Put the kibosh on interstitial pop ups.

19
00:01:41,150 --> 00:01:43,830
I know everyone hates pop ups.

20
00:01:44,420 --> 00:01:47,750
I'm going to get into that debate here.

21
00:01:48,410 --> 00:01:55,640
But I will tell you that Google also hates them, especially for mobile users.

22
00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:02,650
Remember, Google's first job is to show their users amazing content.

23
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:12,020
And if that content is hidden behind a giant popup, it's not all that amazing anymore.

24
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:23,510
In fact, Google rolled out an update that specific targets, interactive pop ups, it has that in 2016.

25
00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:32,870
And so if you use a giant pop up on your side, this could seriously impact your rankings.

26
00:02:33,810 --> 00:02:36,550
How do you know which pop ups are OK?

27
00:02:37,260 --> 00:02:47,820
Google gives a few examples of acceptable pop ups and pop ups that can get your side penalised, as

28
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:50,240
you can see on these pictures.

29
00:02:51,210 --> 00:03:02,910
So this is more connected to cookies or user experience and these kinds of pop ups that are forcing

30
00:03:02,910 --> 00:03:07,090
people and that you can get real penalization.

31
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:08,520
So police avoided.

32
00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:12,490
How does your responsive side actually look?

33
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:16,800
You can use a very great tool.

34
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:25,580
It's one thing to see how Google views your mobile sign, but nothing beats actually seeing your sign

35
00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:27,620
on different devices.

36
00:03:28,660 --> 00:03:37,870
So if you use responsive design on your side, I recommend checking out this free tool so you can follow

37
00:03:37,870 --> 00:03:39,430
it in the resources.

38
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:49,420
I will show you how your side looks on iPhones, tablets and more, as you can see here, small phone,

39
00:03:49,420 --> 00:03:51,220
iPhone or tablet.

40
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:57,800
As it turns out, it looks handsome on phone s on tablet.

41
00:03:58,270 --> 00:04:02,110
So this, too, is absolutely fantastic.

42
00:04:02,110 --> 00:04:04,210
And I highly recommend it to use.

43
00:04:06,220 --> 00:04:09,950
Use the mobile version of such as Google.

44
00:04:10,420 --> 00:04:12,320
This is another great tool.

45
00:04:12,790 --> 00:04:17,110
Like most people, we are visual learners.

46
00:04:17,620 --> 00:04:25,840
Sure, it's nice to see a laundry list of potential mobile optimisation issues, but personally, it's

47
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:30,850
a much more helpful to actually see how Google sees my page.

48
00:04:31,450 --> 00:04:41,080
That's why I recommend spot this thing a few pages on your side using the Google search console such

49
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,380
as Google feature.

50
00:04:43,930 --> 00:04:47,720
So this you can again do it in your Google search console.

51
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:54,190
Just enter the address of a popular page from your site into it.

52
00:04:56,010 --> 00:05:06,150
Make sure to choose Mobile from the drop down box so you can see exactly what Google is seeing and they

53
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:13,980
will show you exactly what the Google Box so you can even scroll down to see it.

54
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:19,470
Google Maps, anything like images, videos, menus, etc..

55
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:25,790
It is very, very, very useful, very helpful, highly recommend to use it.

56
00:05:27,150 --> 00:05:32,380
Like the mobile users see it all, this is a very important point.

57
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:42,060
There has been times that people believe they can hide something on mobile, but now it's very important

58
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,360
that mobile users see it all.

59
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:55,040
Back in the day, people would block certain resources from mobile users, for example, they might

60
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,880
hold some content or block JavaScript from loading.

61
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:07,860
These people weren't doing anything shady, blocking these resources, how their page load passed that

62
00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:13,860
on mobile devices and it sometimes improved the mobile experience.

63
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:17,490
Here is the example of what we mean.

64
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,810
So how you need to hate read more to see all the content.

65
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:29,510
This might be a problem with Google's mobile first index.

66
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:37,840
Why with the mobile first, Google considers your page mobile version, Dumaine version.

67
00:06:38,570 --> 00:06:48,650
And if your content is hidden to mobile users, they may not index or currawong that content or they

68
00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:56,960
may wi it differently in the past when it came to hiding content for desktop users.

69
00:06:57,650 --> 00:07:05,680
Google has said that if something is relevant to the page, then it's probably relevant to the users

70
00:07:05,710 --> 00:07:06,070
too.

71
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,700
So I'd recommend showing it to the users.

72
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:20,890
But then Google's John Miller recently said that for the mobile first index on the mobile version of

73
00:07:20,890 --> 00:07:29,410
the page, it can be that you have these kinds of steps and folders and things like that, which we

74
00:07:29,410 --> 00:07:37,560
will still treat as normal content on the page, even if it is hidden on the initial bill.

75
00:07:38,350 --> 00:07:45,960
He also said that when it comes to mobile, first, if it is critical content, it should be visible.

76
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:46,590
Ha.

77
00:07:47,410 --> 00:07:55,070
So we're going to wait for an official announcement on Google blog before making a final say on this.

78
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,710
In the meantime, here is my take.

79
00:08:00,190 --> 00:08:09,310
If you block or hide content from mobile users, Google will ignore that content or put less right on

80
00:08:09,310 --> 00:08:09,530
it.

81
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:19,850
Bottom line, use your side on a few different phones and desktop users see something mobile users don't.

82
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:25,680
We recommend getting that fixed as soon as possible.

83
00:08:26,810 --> 00:08:34,520
So now we will go how to optimize your mobile site for user experience.

84
00:08:35,090 --> 00:08:40,990
This is a very interesting chapter and we will do this in the next video.
