Not SEO friendly

    I’m very happy with Age Gate. However SEO bots/crawlers are including the Age Gate plugin in their analysis. I’ve tried a few tools such as PageSpeed Insights by Google. I do get a complete analysis but it is based on performance degradation from Age Gate. It seems like there should be a way to test, for example, page load speed without turning off Age Gate.

    I’m using WordPress 6.2.2. Age Gate 3.5.2. WP Fastest Cache 1.3.1 free version (I just switched from WP Total Cache . . . same problem). I’ve tried different combinations of the settings. Currently I have:

    Age Gate: Java script method, render element is script element, all the options in Advanced -> caching / performance are off.

    In WP Fastest Cache, I’ve turned off combine js.

    Can someone tell me what the correct settings are to have the SEO bots not take Age Gate into consideration?

    Thank you.

    Hi @epicburrito,

    The rendering in a script should resolve that.
    If it’s not though, I’d drop the importance of the content of the modal which these settings in the appearance, initially as a test I’d make them all divs:

    View post on imgur.com

    We do attempt to not trigger id a bot is detected, so I’ll also check that is still working as expected in current browsers.

    Thanks
    Phil
