Gosh that would suck. Sounds plausible though

Again anecdotal, but I lost the majority of my SEO traffic late last year around the time of a core update. I've spent the best part of a year attempting to repair it, on the assumption I'd committed some heinous SEO crime. The mo

This. I've found you can get a long way with NSwag, and the barrier to entry is low. I've got a post that walks through how to get a TypeScript and a C# client generated. https://johnnyreilly.com/generate-typescr

Adam Buxton is brilliant! His old radio show with Joe Cornish is greatly missed - used to love "Song Wars" where they each made up spoof songs that were really funny. "I've got licenses to kill, I've got licenses to

Fascinating - in the case of LogRocket, they are the canonical and my blog reflects that too. The other is clearly not...

This is very helpful, thank you. Raised a ticket against Docusaurus to track this: https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/issues/8552 will experiment

I still get traffic, but for things like a webpack define plugin post I wrote in 2017 and for 2 CSharp posts. "eslint for c#" and "build props" All my Azure / TypeScript / React / Bicep traffic dried up. N

No manual actions / security alerts I'm happy to say. Good callout

My site is definitely page based rather than image based. I'll confess to complete ignorance when it comes to keywords. I'm a total novice in this area. I still get traffic, but for things like a webpack define plugin post I wrote

yeah I'm hoping that my redirect story is now quite good - see dynamic redirect code here: https://github.com/johnnyreilly/blog.johnnyreilly.com/blob/m... as to the duplicate content, Docusaurus generate

Oh I didn't realise it did that! I assumed I'd copied and pasted incorrectly when I submitted it and added the "How" back after the fact.

by johnny_reilly 4y ago
No - it's because it's a Docusaurus site and so runs React / JavaScript. It was like this before the drop and so is unlikely to be the cause. It's been Docusaurus for about 2 years now

> I would recommend going through old access logs to find what your old URLs were, and redirect them to the new URLs for that same content (not a wildcard redirect to homepage!) this is great advice and I've done that as much as pos

tell me more about the timestamp. Where does that data get derived? I thought that should be in great shape since I set lastmod in my sitemap based on git commit date https://johnnyreilly.com/2022/11/25/adding

at the point of the observed drop I hadn't changed any page URLs, no. Apologies for lack of clarity. I had changed image URLs when they migrated from being PNGs to WebPs. Following that there was the SEO drop off (within 6 weeks or so)

by johnny_reilly 4y ago
There's no ads. Over time I've change page URLs, partly as a migration from Blogger to Docusaurus, partly due to just changing page URLs without thinking about it. I've changed image URLs by switching from PNG to WebP and bac

I've listed all the causes I can think of. Does any strike you as "the one"?

Yeah - primitive but probably reasonable. Would be happy to experiment with that. I've also been pondering things we could do around open graph images as well, would be nice to use image CDNs like Cloudinary for open graph images in t

Yup - I am not quite sure! But I reckon it's fairly likely that the post contains the "how" of how I ruined my SEO. The hope is that a knowledgeable someone can say what I did wrong.

by johnny_reilly 4y ago
Also intrigued as to whether this could be a cause. I'm certainly not opposed to adding one, but I'd be surprised if it was necessary. But I'm here to learn!

Thanks for the tips! > A cool trick to improve the result fast is by removing the lazy load effect from the LCP: https://i.imgur.com/rOOWm91.png Haha, ironically I'm responsible for wholesale lazy loading of images
