Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
sadams101 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Can you please look into a fix for this issue, which affects both Mobile and Desktop versions of any forum post that includes a quote (this happens on nearly every thread in my forum). Example URL: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/158184-link-between-celiac-and-globulin-or-eosinophils/ View Issue on PageSpeed Insights: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-www-celiac-com-forums-topic-158184-link-between-celiac-and-globulin-or-eosinophils/do1q1usgq0?form_factor=mobile Error: Links are not crawlable Search engines may use href attributes on links to crawl websites. Ensure that the href attribute of anchor elements links to an appropriate destination, so more pages of the site can be discovered. Learn how to make links crawlable SeNioR- 1
Jim M Posted April 25 Posted April 25 I have reported this internally. However, I don't think you want them to index the expand truncated quote link anyway so likely this will be altered 😉 . Ultimately, it's not hurting you or helping you but definitely something we should review. SeNioR- and sadams101 2
SeNioR- Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Referring to the topic "Links are not crawlable" and toggleQuote is Creating Errors in PageSpeed, you can also improve the spoiler code. javascript.xml ips.templates.set('core.editor.spoilerHeader', " \ <div class='ipsSpoiler_header ipsSpoiler_closed'>\ <a href='#' data-action='toggleSpoiler'> </a>\ <span>{{#lang}}spoilerClickToReveal{{/lang}}</span>\ </div>\ "); to ips.templates.set('core.editor.spoilerHeader', " \ <div class='ipsSpoiler_header ipsSpoiler_closed'>\ <a href='#' data-action='toggleSpoiler' aria-label='{{#lang}}toggle_spoiler{{/lang}}> </a>\ <span>{{#lang}}spoilerClickToReveal{{/lang}}</span>\ </div>\ "); Temporary JS fix: {{if !\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id and \in_array( \IPS\Dispatcher::i()->controller, array( 'topic', 'page' ) )}} <script async> $(document).ready(function() { $('.ipsQuote_citation a.ipsPos_right').remove(); $('.ipsSpoiler_header a[data-action="toggleSpoiler"]').attr({ 'title': '{lang="topic_approve"}', 'aria-label': '{lang="topic_approve"}'}); $('.ipsQuote a.ipsTruncate_more').attr({ 'title': '{lang="expand"}', 'href': '#', 'onclick': 'return false;', 'rel': 'nofollow'}); }); </script> {{endif}} sadams101 1
sadams101 Posted April 25 Author Posted April 25 @Jim M, Google is definitely deducting points for this issue, the question is how many. It would not be listed as an error there if there were no deductions for it. It would be great if this simple fix could be included in the next update. @SeNioR-, thanks for this. My experience with the modifying the IPB JS is that the changes won't stick, so this really needs to applied in an IPB update, is that correct?

As mentioned by my colleague, a bug report has been added for this. We cannot guarantee a version a bug fix will be in SeNioR- and sadams101 2
sadams101 Posted June 5 Author Posted June 5 (edited) I just want to mention that since I have fixed all other SEO issues in on my site that were found in Google's PageSpeed Insights, the issue I brought up in this thread regarding the Links that are not crawlable is bringing my SEO score down by 8 points--so I score 92 instead of 100 (other similar pages on my site without these type of uncrawlable links score 100). This is a significant hit by Google, and it's clear that they don't like these uncrawlable links at all, and as will all things Google, this negative score could grow over time. My hope is that your team will look into a better solution that will not cause us all to be penalized, as I think there is likely a simple solution for this (perhaps the one that @SeNioR- posted here?).
