Affecting SEO

Hi @reginaho,

Hustle shouldn’t have such impact on SEO and we didn’t have any similar reports in the past.

It seems that you had that issue for some time, based on the chart, do you know if you did any updates around that time for the plugin that’s handling SEO for you?

Do you know what caused the chart to go up again?

Cheers,

It does affect the SEO. Especially on blog post. Your plugin is added a <style> at the very top of the header and it prevents Google Search engine to crawl the page. It particularly affect social media previews as now blog posts no longer shows images and title from Blog post.

Hi @mistert90

I hope you are doing well.

Outputting a style in the head is normal practice, WordPress does that by default for CSS added in WordPress > Customiser > Additional CSS, and shouldn’t affect the crawlers.

I do believe there are cases when loading PopUp at the time the page load can decrease the conversion number yes as the users may leave the page earlier, but that is a user behaviour, so this is important to test different approaches in the website and see which one fits better on the website.

I do like the Slide-in instead of PopUp, but it really depends on the case.

I also went ahead and tested using the Facebook debugger.

However, we would like to take a closer look at this, I checked my head after enabling all modules and couldn’t see any output in the head but only on the footer.

Could you please create a new thread and we can take a closer look?

Please, on the thread export your Module using the Gear icon > Export and send a screenshot of the style that it is outputting and we can test.
