    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.

                  Rel canonical tag from shopify page to wordpress site page

                  shopify wordpress canonical

                  We have pages on our shopify site example - https://shop.example.com/collections/cast-aluminum-plaques/products/cast-aluminum-address-plaque That we want to put a rel canonical tag on to direct to our wordpress site page - https://www.example.com/aluminum-plaques/ We have links form the wordpress page to the shop page, and over time ahve found that google has ranked the shop pages over the wp pages, which we do not want. So we want to put rel canonical tags on the shop pages to say the wp page is the authority. I hope that makes sense, and I would appreciate your feeback and best solution. Thanks! Is that possible?

                  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

                  How crucial are H1 tags and descriptions in wordpress categories?

                  Hi all Trying to improve SEO for my (mostly) local site, www.nectarbridge.com, and recently got back on Moz Pro account. First crawl of my site by Moz, a manageable number of issues that I've mostly sorted, but the category with the largest number of problems is missing or invalid tags. My content pages and blog posts are not missing the tags. It's category, archives, etc., including multiple pages, ex: https://www.nectarbridge.com/category/blog/page/4/ A smaller number of pages are being flagged by Moz as missing descriptions, and they are also category pages and the like. So the question is - how hard should I pursue fixing these issues? I'm using the divi theme, which apparently doesn't display the category description by default (if it did, that would kill two birds with one stone). There is a fix to add the category description, but before I get into that I'm trying to discern whether this issue really matters greatly to SEO or if I should spend that time just working on more content.

                  Warnings, Notices, and Errors- don't know how to correct these

                  I have been watching my Notices, Warnings and Errors increase since I added a blog to our WordPress site. Is this effecting our SEO? We now have the following: 2 4XX errors. 1 is for a page that we changed the title and nav for in mid March. And one for a page we removed. The nav on the site is working as far as I can see. This seems like a cache issue, but who knows? 20 warnings for “missing meta description tag”. These are all blog archive and author pages. Some have resulted from pagination and are “Part 2, Part 3, Part 4” etc. Others are the first page for authors. And there is one called “new page” that I can’t locate in our Pages admin and have no idea what it is. 5 warnings for “title element too long”. These are also archive pages that have the blog name and so are pages I can’t access through the admin to control page title plus “part 2’s and so on. 71 Notices for “Rel Cononical”. The rel cononicals are all being generated automatically and are for pages of all sorts.  Some are for a content pages within the site, a bunch are blog posts, and archive pages for date, blog category and pagination archive pages 6 are 301’s. These are split between blog pagination, author and a couple of site content pages- contact and portfolio. Can’t imagine why these are here. 8 meta-robot nofollow. These are blog articles but only some of the posts. Don’t know why we are generating this for some and not all. And half of them are for the exact same page so there are really only 4 originals on this list. The others are dupes. 8 Blocked my meta-robots. And are also for the same 4 blog posts but duplicated twice each. We use All in One SEO. There is an option to use noindex for archives, categories that I do not have enabled.  And also to autogenerate descriptions which I do not have enabled. I wasn’t concerned about these at first, but I read these  (below) questions yesterday, and think I'd better do something as these are mounting up. I’m wondering if I should be asking our team for some code changes but not sure what exactly would be best. http://www.seomoz.org/q/pages-i-dont-want-customers-to-see http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html Our site is http://www.fateyes.com Thanks so much for any assistance on this!

                  How to resolve Duplicate Content crawl errors for Magento Login Page

                  I am using the Magento shopping cart, and 99% of my duplicate content errors come from the login page.  The URL looks like: http://www.site.com/customer/account/login/referer/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tbW1zcGVjaW9zYS5jb20vcmV2aWV3L3Byb2R1Y3QvbGlzdC9pZC8xOTYvY2F0ZWdvcnkvNC8jcmV2aWV3LWZvcm0%2C/ Or, the same url but with the long string different from the one above.  This link is available at the top of every page in my site, but I have made sure to add "rel=nofollow" as an attribute to the link in every case (it is done easily by modifying the header links template). Is there something else I should be doing?  Do I need to try to add canonical to the login page?  If so, does anyone know how to do it using XML?

                  Use of the tilde in URLs

                  I just signed up for SEOMoz and sent my site through the first crawl. I use the tilde in my rewritten URLs. This threw my entire site into the Notice section 301 (permanent redirect) since each page redirects to the exact URL with the ~, not the %7e. I find conflicting information on the web - you can use the tilde in more recent coding guidelines where you couldn't in the old. It would be a huge thing to change every page in my site to use an underscore instead of a tilde int he URL. If Google is like SEOMoz and is 301 redirecting every page on the site, then I'll do it, but is it just an SEOMoz thing? I ran my site through Firebug and and all my pages show the 200 response header, not the 301 redirect. Thanks for any help you can provide.
