Robots.txt Issues in Google Search Console

Khaldoon Al Mubarak replied to thread Robots.txt Issues in Google Search Console

Hi @ahxnamc,

It sounds like you're dealing with a few common issues related to robots.txt and site configuration. Here are some key steps to fix the problem:

  1. Check for Duplicate Robots.txt Files: Ensure that only one robots.txt file is accessible at the correct URL (e.g., https://example.com/robots.txt). The multiple entries might be due to your site having different versions (www, non-www, subdomain). Use 301 redirects to point all variations to the preferred version.

  2. Canonicalization: Set a canonical URL for your main site version (e.g., https://example.com) in your site's WordPress settings and in the header of each page using a ``.

  3. Check Crawl Stats: In Google Search Console, check your Crawl Stats and URL Parameters settings. Ensure Googlebot can access your site’s pages without restrictions.

  4. Content Quality: Since your content is AI-generated, ensure it’s original, valuable, and well-optimized. Google may struggle with low-quality or duplicate content, which could affect crawling and indexing.

  5. Submit a Sitemap: Submit your XML sitemap to Google Search Console to help Google crawl and index your pages.

Once you've addressed these, Google should be able to crawl and index your pages more efficiently. Let me know if you need more help!

Facing Core Web Vitals issue.

It sounds like you're facing a complex issue with your Core Web Vitals. Here are a few key areas to check:

Server Performance: Ensure fast server response times (TTFB). Slow server response can impact LCP. Image Optimization: Compress and use modern formats like WebP. Lazy load offscreen images. Render-Blocking Resources: Defer non-essential JavaScript and optimize CSS to avoid blocking content from rendering. Third-Party Scripts: Audit external scripts (ads, analytics) that might be affecting performance. Desktop vs Mobile: Review your desktop version to ensure it’s equally optimized as mobile. Use Google Lighthouse: Run regular audits to spot technical issues affecting LCP. Reporting Delays: Sometimes Google Search Console takes time to reflect improvements, so give it a few weeks. If the issue persists, consult with me for further advice on fine-tuning your site’s performance. Let’s get your traffic back up!
