No opener
-
When inserting a link with a ''no follow'' rule, ''no opener'' keeps popping in.
Can I ask if this will cancel the initial rule as I am not sure what no opener entitles?

This tag is automatically added to all the links, both internal and external, that you want to open in a new tab. Although it seems very intrusive, it isactually a security measure to prevent malicious links from taking control of an open tab.
It's not advisable to delete the rel = "noopener" of your posts .It doesn't affect the SEO, it does not have any impact on the different analysis tools and neither the affiliate links are affected. The only thing it does is to protect your users from possible malicious links that can hijack your tabs.

Here's info on noopener, I only noticed this coming up very recently on a lighthouse report. As I understand it, it tells the browser to use a separate process for whatever the linked page has on it, rather than the existing one which could hurt performance on your own page if that one is very heavy.

All images are noindex will opening this at once be an issue?
Hi, All images are noindex will opening this at once be an issue? Not sure how a few months ago all my images were set as noindex which i realized last week. We have 20K images which were indexed fine but now when i check Site:sitename it shows 10 or 12 and the inspect element via Chrome i see the noindex is set for all images. We have been renaming the images and adding ALT tags for most of them and would it be an issue if we change the noindex in one shot or should we do them few at a time? Thanks

Linking Domains in Open Site Explorer Report No Longer Exist. Help.
Hello to all, I have a number of Linking Domains on our Open Site Explorer Report that no longer exist. I've run URL checks on just a sample of the list, and found that approx. 35% of that sample are from now dead Linking Domains. Can someone help? If these Linking Domains are defunct, how can I remove these? Does Google reflect negatively on these dead Linking Domains in our SERPs? Has anyone experienced this before? What action did you take?
