Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello Harry, You look like in 4th position right now with Semrush (take a look at the picture), are you completely sure? Mmm maybe data is not updated at Semrush. OK. Did you get any message of penalty action at Google Search Console against your domain? If so, you will see a message at your Inbox. Also, if this is possible, double-check your domain's health at linkresearchtools.com for free (7 days trial) in order to find toxic links linking to your site. You will get a free detox report of your domain's health and see if something is wrong. Let me know and I will keep checking. Roberto t9QzO

Shareaholic and Social Warfare (paid) plugins are the ones I'm familiar with, Sameer. There is also a paid add-on for Sassy Social Share plugin that will accomplish this too. Others may have also added this capability. P.

Always is pleasure to help : )

Hi Hampus, Thanks for the question! If I were to choose, I'd prefer this option: https://www.granngarden.se/husdjur/hund/c/**hundfoder** Mainly because, like you, I prefer shorter/cleaner URLs and am not a fan of repeating the same words. I don't think there will be a negative SEO impact of removing one of the category name words because the repetition is unlikely to be helping that much right now. If there was a valid reason to have it repeated, then my view may be different. But that doesn't sound like the case so I'd say to go with the shorter URL. I hope that helps! Paddy

of course we checked that but nothing special, we released a new site in October.

Yes, that makes perfect sense! That's exactly what I was looking for. I will make the old content a draft and utilize it some place else. Thank you!

Hi Paul, This definitely helps! Thanks for your answers and the link to the blogpost! Kind regards, Jens

Ohh, I understand what you mean. Thank you!

As you can see Yoast SEO just follow the official information and guides

No problem, let me know how it goes.

thanks Donna, much appreciated. We're having a meeting about it on Wednesday with developers and marketing. We know the site is slow, we're working on a new back end to the site that will increase speed significantly, but it's still 6 months away. I think it will need to be brought up in the Wednesday meeting. The one caveat is that the site as always been slow (even slower!). Maybe google have lost patience.

Awsome, thank you very much!

Sorry for the late reaction to this response. Thank you so much, Nigel. We'll bear your comment in mind as we update this site's folder and file structure!

Good Choice. The XML Sitemap spec has specific maximum sizes for individual sitemaps, but they are specified sizes before compression, so compression doesn't get you around the size limitations anyway  P.

Most likely when someone wrote an internal link within the website. E.g. Linking to another page from within a page or blog post.

Assuming Google crawls the page, how long do you think it will take before we know whether Google is following canonical tags? By follow I mean whether they are following the signal and ranking the canonical link.

Hi Nigel, Fine no issue. Can you please remove tiny url's from your responses or delete the responses? As I am not getting option to delete the whole thread. Thanks!
