Google Fetch and Render - Partial result (resources temporarily unavailable)
-
Over the past few weeks, my website pages have been showing as partial in the Google Search Console. There are many resources/ files (js, css, images) that are 'temporarily unreachable'. The website files haven't had any structural changes for about 2 years (it historically has always shows as 'completed' and rendered absolutely fine in the search console).
I have checked and the robots.txt is fine as is the sitemap. My host hasn't been very helpful, but has confirmed there are no server issues. My website rankings have now dropped which I think is due to these resources issues and I need to clear this issue up asap - can any one here offer any assistance? It would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Can anyone suggest any answers or has anyone had similar issues? I continue to monitor the site via fetch and render and the issues remain the same - lots of images, css and js files 'Temporarily Unreachable' (yet they do exist and the link can be clicked on). The website functions fine otherwise.
As I say, I have changed website hosts and it is still the same. This is really affecting my rankings and if anyone has any clues I would be most grateful.
Many thanks,
Dan

Hi Martijn,
Thank you for your response!
The results in terms of the fetch and render for a page of the website looks different everytime. Sometimes it is images that are "Temporarily Unavailable' , sometimes it is css/ js files and sometimes both. However, there is never a 'Completed' result and always some form of 'Partial result. All the files/ images are reachable when you click on them, however. Nothing is blocked in terms of robots.
From time to time the entire page itself says 'Temporarily Unreachable', although it comes back to 'partial' after waiting a few hours.
I have contacted my web hosts who haven't offered much help. I actually changed web hosts and paid for a more expensive, faster server (as I assumed the server was taking too long for Google)!
However, the results are the same, so really struggling to understand why this is happening. As before, the robots.txt file is fine without any blockingCould you explain what you mean in terms of crawling with the GoogleBot User Agent?
Having had a quick scan around different forums, it seems there are quite a few websites having a similar problem, but there doesn't seem to be a solution so far.
Thanks again for your time.

Hi Dan,
Are there any more insights into what the screenshot actually looks like when the resources aren't being loaded? I would, in addition, try to crawl the site/page with the GoogleBot User Agent and see for yourself what happens. In some cases it could be that your CDN or server is blocking requests that are often done, obviously, this shouldn't happen with Google but it wouldn't be the first time that I see GoogleBot being blocked by a server.
Martijn.

Getting indexed by Google scholar
Often my Google Scholar alerts result in exactly what I think they will: scholarly articles published in academic journals. However, today I got this completely non-scholarly article https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-exact-reps-that-make-you-grow and I have no idea why Google Scholar is indexing this site. I've read up on how to get indexed by Google Scholar, and this website doesn't seem to have the necessary requirements. I'm curious for anyone whose clients or industry need to get indexed by Google Scholar, what has worked for you?

Sitelink (meta) descriptions in Google SERP
Hi, I am probably not the only one having this question regarding the quality of sitelinks in organic results. When your search returns sitelinks, I know the only thing you can do to avoid certain sitelinks to appear is to demote it for that search result. But what can you do about the description. For the main result you are pretty much able to create an appealing description, but when the sitelinks appear, all sitelinks display these crappy 'composed' descriptions. I've read Google did some tests a couple of years ago with multiple descriptions and multiple titles, but this doesn't cover the issue I just described. Is there a way to create 'sitelink descriptions'? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

G is for Google
So if you haven't heard already - Larry Page released a statement regarding the newly founded company: Alphabet. Crazy to think that the name hadn't even been used before for one but most importantly throughout his write up - there doesn't seem to be much clarity on what it is going to accomplish. What are your ideas/thoughts moz heads? https://abc.xyz/ - check it out. /Chenzo

Are there any clear, significant differences between Google SEO and Yahoo/Bing SEO?
I have a client who is very focused on getting ranks in Yahoo! Convincing him that focusing on Google is much more important isn't going to happen. He uses Yahoo! He ranks very well in Google, and his site is relatively well-made with no glaring on-page issues. His backlink profile is also not an issue. I'm trying to find ways to rank specifically for Yahoo! since we're ranking well in Google and the client cares a ton about Yahoo! I know Yahoo! uses Bing's algorithm, but results aren't identical in the two engines. Does anyone know of big, glaring difference in the two algorithms that would result in great Google ranks, but almost non-existent Yahoo! ranks? I have him in Bing webmasters, his local SEO and citations are good, his backlink profile is good, and his on-page is decent.

Is the search volume insight in Bing more accurate as it is in Google?
Does anybody know if Search volume insight in Bing is more accurate than it is in Google?
SERP Trends | | Seeders
Moz is showing Search Volume insight in Bing now (not sure about the reason, probably Moz has no access to Google? Or is it because it is more accurate?)
For some words I have my doubts about the Google Keyword Tool. I don't know about Bing.
For the first time I compare two words on Bing with Google I found out the ratio in Bing is very different compared with Google. Example:
When you check out the words: espressomachine and koffiemachine
**Google, local search in the Netherlands: **
espressomachine: 6600
koffiemachine: 8100
Bing, local search in the Netherlands:
espressomachine: 549
koffiemachine: 361 So..., are Bing users typical kind of users who uses other search phrases?
Or... is one of these two more accurate? Does anybody know?0 -
Googl travel dates
I have just noticed, while checking where our hotel clients rank for certain keywords, and noticed a panel on the left hand side called Travel dates. There was a check in and check out option which could be populated manually or by using a drop down calendar. But there's no submit button or anything like that. What is this panel for, and can any benefit be had from it, because from what I can see it doesn't actually do anything (unless it's not displaying properly on my computer?
