    Good day to you all,

    Does anyone have experience of the errors being pulled up by Moz about the utility of the weglot plugin on Wordpress?

    Moz is pulling up URLs such as:

    https://www.ibizacc.com/es/chapparal-2/?wg-choose-original=false

    These are classified under "redirect issues" and 99% of the pages are with the ?wg-choose parameter in the URL.

    Is this having an actual negative impact on my search or is it something more Moz related being highlighted. Any advice be appreciated and a resolution ..

    Im thinking I could exclude this parameter.

      You're encountering flags from Moz regarding redirect issues on URLs with the ?wg-choose parameter likely related to the Weglot plugin for WordPress. Here's the breakdown:

      The Issue: URLs with the ?wg-choose parameter indicate Weglot's involvement in language selection. Moz might be flagging these as redirects because the parameter alters the URL.
      Impact on SEO: While these flags might seem concerning, the impact on SEO is likely minimal. The parameter itself doesn't necessarily redirect users, and search engines are increasingly sophisticated at handling dynamic URLs.
      Possible Solutions:

      Exclude the Parameter: You can explore excluding the ?wg-choose parameter in Moz's settings if it's causing clutter in your reports. This wouldn't change the plugin's functionality but would remove those specific flags.
      Focus on High-Impact Issues: Moz offers valuable insights, but prioritize addressing critical SEO issues like broken links or slow page speed over these potentially minor flags.
      In a nutshell, these Weglot-related flags might be more Moz-related than a critical SEO concern.

        @skvisaguruku Despite my efforts in Bing Webmaster Tools, the site gets indexed seamlessly on Google, but the Bing.com search engine consistently refuses to index the homepage. I've taken several steps to address this issue, including submitting XML sitemaps, enhancing the homepage copy, optimizing site loading times, disavowing spam and poor-quality backlinks, and repeatedly requesting indexing. I've even installed the IndexNow plugin to improve the chances of getting indexed. Despite investing both time and money into resolving this issue, it persists. This leads me to question whether the domain might be penalized in Bing, prompting me to consider the possibility of starting over with a new domain.

          Good day!

          The errors being flagged by Moz related to the weglot plugin on WordPress, specifically the URLs with the "?wg-choose" parameter, fall under "redirect issues." While Moz identifies these, it's crucial to assess whether they have a tangible negative impact on your search performance.

          Considering the nature of the parameter and its prevalence in the flagged URLs, it seems more Moz-related than a direct SEO concern. To potentially address this, you can consider excluding the "?wg-choose" parameter, which might resolve the issue flagged by Moz. However, it's essential to monitor your site's overall performance and search rankings independently to ensure there are no unintended consequences.

            Hello,

            The URLs you mentioned with the "?wg-choose" parameter are flagged by Moz as "redirect issues." This may not necessarily have a direct negative impact on your search rankings, but it could be affecting how Moz crawls and analyzes your website.

            To address this in Moz, you might consider excluding the "?wg-choose" parameter in your Moz settings. However, it's essential to ensure that this parameter doesn't play a critical role in your website's functionality before making changes.

            If these URLs are not causing issues in terms of user experience or search performance, it could be a Moz-specific matter rather than a critical SEO concern. You may want to monitor your website's overall performance and seek assistance from Moz support for a more tailored solution.

            Best regards.

              @alwaysbeseen Hello,

              Yes, I have experience with Moz reporting issues related to the Weglot plugin on WordPress. The URLs you provided with the "?wg-choose" parameter are being classified under "redirect issues" by Moz. It's crucial to assess whether these issues are impacting your search performance or if they are more specific to Moz's reporting.

              Considering that 99% of the pages are flagged with this parameter, it's worth investigating the potential impact on your search visibility. One solution could be excluding this parameter to see if it resolves the reported issues.

              I recommend testing the exclusion of the "?wg-choose" parameter and monitoring the impact on your site's performance. Additionally, you may want to reach out to Weglot's support or community forums to see if others have experienced similar issues and if there are specific recommendations for optimizing the plugin's performance.

              Best of luck with resolving the issue!

                @alwaysbeseen Good day! Yes, Moz is highlighting "redirect issues" related to URLs with the "?wg-choose" parameter when using the Weglot plugin on WordPress. While Moz is flagging these as potential problems, it's important to assess whether they are negatively impacting your search performance.

                The presence of parameters in URLs can sometimes cause search engines to treat them as separate pages, potentially affecting SEO. In this case, it seems like a parameter related to the Weglot plugin.

                To address this, considering excluding the "?wg-choose" parameter could be a viable solution. This can be done through tools like Google Search Console or by configuring your website's robots.txt file. However, it's crucial to monitor your website's performance after making changes to ensure there are no unintended consequences.

                Remember, Moz is a tool that provides insights, and while it's a valuable resource, the actual impact on search results may vary. Regularly monitoring your website's performance and staying informed about SEO best practices will help ensure a positive online presence. If you have further questions or concerns, consulting with a professional SEO expert could provide tailored advice for your specific situation.

                  Unsolved Google URL inspection live test rendering issue.

                  google search console wordpress css

                  Hi Everyone, This is my first post on Moz. I have been trying to get this thing sorted and have read everywhere and everyone just says don't worry about it. I would really like some advice/suggestions on this it will be really helpful. When I use the Google URL inspection tool from the Google search console the page rendering is completely broken. The tool refuses to load resources each time. At end of the day that's how the website is rendered in Google cache. I have already tried disabling cache plugins and Cloudflare but nothing works. site - nationalcarparts.co.nz
                  This is how it renders when using URL inspection tool -
                  https://prnt.sc/7XKHtEU01gEl and if you check cache:https://nationalcarparts.co.nz this is how Google is caching it. Plugins I am using - Elementor Version 3.6.1, Elementor Pro Version 3.6.4, Exclusive Addons Elementor Version 2.5.4, Exclusive Addons Elementor Pro Version 1.4.6, WP- rocket, Cloudflare Pro plan with the plugin. Please if someone has fixed this issue and has a possible solution for it. Thanks cacheissue1.PNG

                  Should posts show in multiple categories?

                  seo wordpress

                  Hi all, For context, I'm trying to Silo my content more efficiently. I've just moved all content into their own SILO'd categories and removed them from duplicate categories. As such, posts now sit only in 1 category. My question here is: Should my posts be showing in both the parent category and its sub category or just the sub-category? I've currently got this only showing in the sub-categories it's relevant to. For example:
                  Post name: Shimano Fishing Rod Review
                  Parent Category: Fishing Rods
                  Sub Category: Shimano And the post only shows inside the Shimano Category

                  I got am 803 error this week on the Moz crawl for one of my pages. The page loads normally in the browser. We use cloudflare. Is there anything that I should do or do I wait a week and hope it disappears? 803 Incomplete HTTP response received Your site closed its TCP connection to our crawler before our crawler could read a complete HTTP response. This typically occurs when misconfigured back-end software responds with a status line and headers but immediately closes the connection without sending any response data.

                  Hello, We just have launch a new version of our website with a new utf-8 encoding. Thing is, we use comma as a separator and since the new website went live, I have a massive increase of 404 error of comma-encoded URL. Here is an example : http://web.bons-de-reduction.com/annuaire%2C321-sticker%2Csite%2Cpromotions%2C5941.html instead of : http://web.bons-de-reduction.com/annuaire,321-sticker,site,promotions,5941.html I check with Screaming Frog SEO and Xenu, I can't manage to find any encoded URL. Is anyone have a clue on how to fix that ? Thanks
