Google Search Errors

  • We are receiving Google Search Errors on the videos. First, we received a new notice: “Video Outside the Viewport Area“, although in the wild the videos work fine. (I checked on the Google Inspector and on my iPhone.) I changed the videos to the smallest size, and that seemed to help, although the website would look better with larger videos.

    We are also getting errors on the video structured data for missing data:

    -upload Date

    -ThumbnailURL

    -Name

    Any ideas for us?

    Thanks for your help and for providing us with this plugin.

    no idea re. the viewport I’m afraid, but for the missing structured data; try enabling the “cache thumbnails locally” option which forces LYTE to be fully acitve on mobile.

    hope this helps,

    I’ll try that. Thank you! The structured data problems may be because we are using the free version of Yoast. I see Yoast has an Add-on product for video structured data: https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/video-seo/

    No, Yoast is not needed, LYTE will add the data (and already does actually, it’s just that Google cannot see it when indexing because the HTML containing the microdata is overridden by the YT iframe which automatically loads on mobile ??
