Google Search Console says:     Some URLs listed in this Sitemap have a high response time. This may indicate a problem with your server or with the content of the page   I submitted this site in  Google Search Console along with the sitemap 2 months ago.  These pages were created more than 2 months ago.  Why would Google find these problems so recently?  How do I fix it?

In my Google Webmaster Tools account, there are warnings about my site.     Some URLs listed in this sitemap have a high response time. This may indicate a problem with your server or with the content of the page.   What is the solution?

I have a website with a unique name, already indexed and with a perfect SEO. Although there are no websites with the same unique name, when I'm searching on Google I found my homepage listed on the 6th page.  Why something like this happens, and what can I do to improve?

I am a member of a writing website called HubPages. We are each given a subdomain on which to write articles and are also given access to Google Webmaster Tools for our subdomain.  Upon checking out my stats in Webmaster Tools, I see that Google is running into some 404 errors for two reasons:   I took down an article Google (or someone) got the url totally wrong.   I am essentially getting view-only access for webmaster tools (HubPages must have set it up to allow view only so that a user doesn't mess things up) so I can't submit a url removal request to Google.  Could this be hurting the SEO for my subdomain? If not, are there other problems that could occur for me or for HubPages by leaving these URLs as is and not submitting a removal request? Should HubPages be submitting url removal requests to Google for dead or incorrect urls?

I've got a sitemap that is generated daily with a lot of links to product pages. These products are imported daily from another data source. Because the update consists of throwing away all current product info and replacing it with the new imported info the last modified date always jumps one day. This is also used in the sitemap. Even for products that haven't changed. All product pages pretend to have been updated.  Will Google penalize the website for pretending the pages have changed from day to day while they haven't?  My solution would be to only change the  entry only if the new imported product data differs from the previous data. I just want to make sure this is a useful upgrade to make, while I could also spend my time on other improvements.

In Google Search Console/Webmaster Tools, I found 404 error URLs with this pattern: http://example.com/page-name/example.com  This is happening to all pages, posts, and even category type.  For example:   Here is the .htaccess file:    Does anyone know what might be causing this?

We have a website dedicated to our ActiveX and .NET components that has been working for more than 12 years. The site consists of 2 parts: the static part (product descriptions and articles) and the dynamic part (forum dedicated to our tools).  Google indexes the static part without any problems - all the pages are found due to a good textual hyperlink menu system. These pages also have good positions in SERPs.  However, many SEO pro's insist that we need to have a sitemap.xml file to enhance the positions of our website in the "eyes" of Google or other search engines like Bing. My 2 questions related to this are the followings:  1) Do we really need sitemap.xml for our website?  2) If so, how to code the dynamic forum pages in it?

I have  a post I created yesterday that was indexed rather quickly by Google. However, I have two other post that I created within the past 4 days that are  not indexed and I cannot find a trace of them within the SERPs.  Any idea what my cause this to happen?

I am using the Yoast plugin to help with the SEO of my site. I just set everything up and am wondering how long it takes for google to update the information. As you can probably tell already the only knowledge I have is basic CSS.  What I am mainly concerned about is getting my homepage listed with the correct SEO title and meta description. Currently, my homepage is listed but not with the updated SEO title or meta description.  Thanks for the help.

Let's have some fun shall we??  At the bottom of the content for about 1/3rd of my pages, but not in the footer, I create an internal link for each related IP address to the page on my site for that IP address. This was fine 6 months ago, but now that my database has grown so large, I discovered that it was not uncommon to create 700+ links within this section with one page having 2600. Ooopppsss!! ;-) Houston, we have a problem!  Now this is easy enough to fix. For right now, I put a limit 100 on the query. But this got me thinking and searching for a definitive answer. So far... no luck.  Please understand I do fully know the effects regarding SEO. Most of you know that already. I am not looking for a lesson- just an idea of a range.  Q: How many internal links per page is too many?  There are a lot of answers on the net culled from various nether regions and I have a number in mind (also culled), but I was thinking that there has to be an authoritative answer somewhere. Google says reasonable and MOZ's answer seemed to very arbitrary to me. Some so-called SEO experts say as little as 6 and as much as 200. Yeah. That is useful! One said there is no limit. I know there is a semi-flexible practical limit. I remember reading about this years ago, but cannot remember the mechanics behind it right now. I would have to think on this for a while.  Bonus Q: If given a choice of creating links from a random query (and yes I can do this) or first 100 or so (using limit), which would you prefer/advise and why? Again, I have an idea in mind (again, culled). Is there anything definitive in this regard as well?  My primary concerns are UX, download speed, and lastly, Giigle.

I read that sites have good reputation in google search index if it is fresh content.  what does fresh content means from google's point of view?  I have many pages. I have created articles and tutorials.  These page dosent change except the comments which are at the bottom.  I have made this page as static (.html) and never edit cause that is the information i wanted to be ever. cause the concept is not going to change?  with these parameters how to judge whether my page is fresh or not?

The crawl report shows this: "HTTP ‎(1)‎ In Sitemaps ‎(5)‎ Not found ‎(993)‎ Restricted by robots.txt ‎(487,544)‎"  So the discrepancy between 50,000 and 44,592 isn't coming from that.  Are there any obvious reasons?

We're launching new website with new url structure and new content. Domain is the same. Many old pages are indexed by google. Should I use 404 or 301 and redirect to '/' for these old resources? I also want to remove these pages from google index.

I am monitoring the number of pages indexed by Googlebot for one of my websites .  I noticed that since last week, the number of pages has dropped by about 60 or so. Now to be fair, I have not added that much over the last week. (Actually I don't think I added any new content.) But at the very least, I would have thought that the number of indexed pages would be static (if I was not adding anything new.)  I don't understand why the numbers have dropped.  Does anyone have an official explanation for this?. I have checked the Google Webmaster Tools, and have not come across anything that addresses this issue directly.

When searching for anything in Google, it keeps refreshing itself; or, rather, it keeps redirecting itself between the url variants https://www.google.hu/search?q=&lt;query&gt;&amp;cad=h and https://www.google.hu/#newwindow=1&amp;q=&lt;query&gt;. It just keeps ping-ponging between these, like in an old-fashioned redirect loop, except it never ends.  Needless to say, it's very annoying.  This is happening using Google Chrome 48.0.2564.71 beta 64 bit, on a Lubuntu installation, with 16 GB of memory (and no history of RAM troubles). Tried to install a stable version over it (though not --purge-ing the original, so with the same settings) and the same thing happened. No other pages show this behaviour.  Tried to clear browsing history, cookies and cache: it did help, but only for two searches, then the issue resurfaced. Things work fine in Incognito mode or when I'm not logged in to my Google account.  Looking around on the internet yielded  and variants, which describe a bug about Chrome keeping refreshing every page, which sounds similar, but isn't the same. 'Instant search' was alread disabled.  Now, I realize the problem would perhaps go away if I deleted every little piece of Chrome from the computer, but I'm not sure, and if possible I'd like to keep my various settings. Does anyone have an idea as to how to achieve that?

I'm currently analysing some landing pages with the URL inspection tool of the Search Console, and most of them look to be not loaded (script and css). The main reason announced by Search Console is: other error (without any more information).  I was thinking the problem might be that the scripts are too complex, but some of them are very simple.

I have a rated page since 10 days ago, and the rating starts are still not showing in SERP.   is not showing any errors.  Should I wait some more time? How long does Google usually take for the rating stars to show up in SERP?

I'm  getting timeout errors on google-related sites. If I try to open google.com, gmail.com, etc, it will keep displaying the "waiting reply" on the browser bottom, and the page won't open. If I am browsing another site that includes, say, www.google-analytics.com, ajax.googleapis.com, google fonts, etc, then it start loading, displaying a "connecting to [google-related site]" on the browser bottom, and stall at that point for a long time.  I can browse other sites fine and they load quickly. I can ping the domains with 0% loss and &lt;100ms times. I can ping 8.8.8.8, I am not behind a proxy, there is nothing on my hosts file, I am not at work or in a networked environment: it is a home network behind a router. I connect using wifi (I am too distant to use wired).   Other users on the same network don't have the issue. I can both ping and browse the sites. I have pinged ajax.googleapis.com from my android and my other laptop, and they return the same IP than on this laptop. They also share the same external IP address, according to   The issue happens on ubuntu 12.04, and as it is cyclic but not frequent enough to make sure, I don't honestly remember if it happens on Windows 7 as well (it is a dual-boot machine). Rebooting the router won't help. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem, until it happens again.  It's been happening for a few months now. The last time it happened (earlier today) I performed a ping before and after the reboot. Here's the results:  before  $ping ajax.googleapis.com PING googleapis.l.google.com (74.125.21.95) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from yv-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.21.95): icmp_req=1 ttl=47 time=157 ms 64 bytes from yv-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.21.95): icmp_req=2 ttl=47 time=163 ms 64 bytes from yv-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.21.95): icmp_req=3 ttl=47 time=156 ms 64 bytes from yv-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.21.95): icmp_req=4 ttl=47 time=165 ms 64 bytes from yv-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.21.95): icmp_req=5 ttl=47 time=157 ms 64 bytes from yv-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.21.95): icmp_req=6 ttl=47 time=155 ms 64 bytes from yv-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.21.95): icmp_req=7 ttl=47 time=159 ms 64 bytes from yv-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.21.95): icmp_req=8 ttl=47 time=157 ms   after  $ping ajax.googleapis.com PING googleapis.l.google.com (74.125.134.95) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=1 ttl=47 time=207 ms 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=2 ttl=47 time=154 ms 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=3 ttl=47 time=154 ms 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=4 ttl=47 time=152 ms 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=5 ttl=47 time=157 ms 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=6 ttl=47 time=160 ms 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=7 ttl=47 time=154 ms 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=8 ttl=47 time=157 ms 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=10 ttl=47 time=154 ms 64 bytes from gg-in-f95.1e100.net (74.125.134.95): icmp_req=11 ttl=47 time=152 ms   The issue happens on different browsers, I installed epiphany and it shows the same behaviour.  I have inspected the network tab on firefox and it shows a single, unreplied GET request:   I installed wireshark and listened for HTTP GET requests; on other sites it pops up on the report, but on ajax.googleapis it shows nothing. I listened then for DNS requests, there are some differences:     If connect via telnet to the port 80 of a random site and perform a GET it works, but I can't telnet to ajax.googleapis.com (or it's IP), the connection never completes.
