@frazashfaq11 Hi! I think the Lighthouse output tells you that while you might have resized the images correctly in Photoshop, the width & height attributes aren't added to your image tags in HTML. So what is happening is that the browser can't reserve the actual space for the image upfront as it has to wait for the image to be loaded.

@voucherstore-0 Are you able to somehow mix it in with modifiers? Cheapest, best, most popular? That could potentially already help to change the direction of the page.

Edit: Adding in, often what you see in use cases like this is that there actually isn't any search volume around most of these types of keywords so it could be that you're trying to optimize for something that isn't there.

@tuomashaapala I looked specifically at Ahrefs data, I would say it's all relative (keep that in mind). In the end if 20% of your links are Finnish but if for the average site in the UK/US you notice that it's about 1% you're obviously still signaling to Google that you're likely having a Finnish audience. These metrics are hard to influence, just giving you my take on the signal itself. You're likely already on the right way to solve this, it might just take some time. Especially with the low amount of links.

@tuomashaapala My best guess is that i's primarily due to the fact that most of the links you have that aren't a .com are .fi which likely would signal to Google that your site is primarily for a Finnish audience. I would try to diversify that more by getting links to your blog posts from more global sites.

For important pages on your site, it's always important to look after the HTTP status codes especially when they're not in the 2XX range. What I would look at in a case like this is if indeed you're able to find some clues in other tools like Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools. In addition, try mimicking the user agent of Google and figure out in your own browser what the type of response could be.

Test it out, or try to get some more local links that will help you rank for the other cities. What I've noticed over the years with Google is that they're pretty good at figuring out the local intent but still serving the same landing page for different cities. Or the opposite way of ranking the local city page for a generic keyword term. With this, you can try to position a few pages to focus on the specific cities and see if it works or if Google is still ranking your main pages. That might save you some headache of having to create dozens of pages but meanwhile could help you see what signals are being picked up.

So the colors are showing if the rankings are moving up and down. You obviously want to score as much green as possible.
For high volume keywords, I would keep a more close track of what's happening for them, for lower volume keywords you can likely come back after a few weeks or months as it's not worth the time spent on it.

You're absolutely OK to do this as long as you use the embed video options on YouTube and don't steal the actual content and put it within your own video player.

Probably. It depends on what the quality is of those links, but if you likely already have to ask the question the answer in most cases is Yes.

Correct!

As far as I'm aware this is OK to do as they don't always have to be different URLs. Alternatively, I would make sure that you can focus on en instead of en-US so that it would avoid the language everywhere.

Agreeing with Ross's answer above, in the end, the impact of this on your overall SEO strategy. In most cases, the bigger managed WP hosting services out there have their business in order quite well and you are likely to benefit from their faster servers than trying to run a lot of it yourself.

Hi Eric,

This could be a different problem than just your canonical URL pointing to be something different, which is different from your HEAD canonical tag on these pages. What type of keywords are you checking this against, because that actually drives more input into what Google is seeing as a better version?

Martijn.
