Multisite domain
-
good morning I have a wordpress site I have activated the multisite, currently the site has a domain authority of 8, when I publish a post, it is indexed quite quickly, if I publish a post in a language other than the /es subdomain it takes 24 hours why? If the author domain is the same, why does the employee take longer to be indexed on Google? Thank you

Hello ,
A WordPress multisite benefits from a single domain authority, you can notice slower indexing for posts in languages other than English.
Google prioritizes indexing content in languages it understands and ranks well for. Your site's focus on English content gives google a deeper understanding, potentially leading to faster indexing for English posts. Content in less familiar languages might take longer, especially if google has less data about your site's authority in those languages. User engagement signals also influence's indexing speed. If your English content receives more user interaction), google might prioritize future English posts based on this positive response. Content in other languages might initially receive less engagement which leads google to observe user behavior before fully indexing it.
Also make sure your translations maintains the same level of optimization as your English content. This includes translation accuracy, relevant keyword usage in respective languages, and proper meta descriptions for each post. Search engines typically index high-quality content faster.
Search engines crawls websites frequently based on various factors like website size, update frequency, and overall health. If your english content subdirectory (e.g., /) receives more updates or has more pages, it might be crawled more frequently, leading to faster indexing. You will need to double check for any technical issues specific to your non-english subdirectories.
Issues like broken links, slow loading times, or missing sitemaps will delay indexing for those sections of your website.
Though the author domain stays constant, these factors can contribute to the observed indexing speed variations.
My suggestions -
-Focus on relevant keywords in the respective languages and create accurate meta descriptions for each post.
-Use tools like GSC and track indexing status and identify any technical issues specific to your non-english subdirectories.
-Update sitemaps for each language subdirectory to ensure google is aware of all content and can crawl it efficiently.

Unsolved Google URL inspection live test rendering issue.
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

Duplicate content : domain alias issue
Hello there ! Let's say my client has 2 webshops (that exists since long time, so many backlinks & good authority on both) : individuals.nl : for individuals (has 200 backlinks, let's say) pros.nl : exact same products, exact same content, but with a different branding intended to professionnals (has 100 backlinks, let's say) So, both websites are 99% identical and it has to remain like that !!! Obviously, this creates duplicate content issues. Goal : I want "individuals.nl" to get all ranking value (while "pros.nl" should remain accessible through direct access & appear on it's own brand queries). Solution ? Implement canonical tags on "pros**.nl**" that goes to "individuals.nl". That way, "individuals.nl" will get all ranking value, while "pros.nl" will still be reachable through direct access. However, "individuals.nl" will then replace "pros.nl" from SERP in the long-term. The only thing I want is to keep "pros.nl" visible for its own brand queries -> it won't be possible through organic search result, so, I'm just gonna buy those "pros" queries through paid search ! Put links on all pages of pros.nl to individuals.nl (but not the other way around), so that "pros.nl" will pass some ranking value to "individuals.nl" (but only a small part of the ranking value -> ideally, I would like to pass all link value to this domain). Could someone advise me ??? (I know it sound a bit complicated... but I don't have much choice ^^)

Keyword domain usage
Hi I have a client who wants some advice on the following and I haven't come up with anything decent yet. So wanted to throw it out here. They own a domain like soccershoes.com which also houses their web site. They have now bought ussoccershoes.com because this US based search term is more popular than simply soccer shoes. How can they utilise this new domain effectively to drive traffic to their main web site? Thanks for any input.
