To many scripts in my homepage. This is a problem in SEO?

[Naghirniac]

I adding a lot of new features to my website: JS animated, menus, google translate, alexa counter, google analytics, salesforce, and so on. My website is full of scripts and im worry about the SEO. Is that an issue?

From my limited reading, if you're using javascript, it's best not to base your entire menu system on it. While Google will crawl javascript, it does so in a limited fashion. As for the other items you mentioned, I'm really not experienced enough to offer advice on those.

I don't see an issue with G translate, alexa counter, analytics, salesforce, etc. As to JS, the recommendation from a page load perspective is to put it at the bottom of the page as JS blocks parallel downloads. So, while it is loading the browser will not allow anything else to begin load which will slow down page load speed. If possible put it at the bottom to circumvent this.

Hope that helps.

Summary:

Loadingtimes - matters so make it snappy.

Indexed pages - matters(you need to be as visible as possible)

Check the site from googles cache and choose only text to see if the menus are working properly.

Start by measuring the loading time for the site.

Is it slow?

Is it fast?

Then check your pages on google:

Are all my pages indexed?

My view.

If the sites fast and all your pages are indexed it means your good to go

If your site is slow to load and some pages are missing in Googles index you need to remove the JS scripts in the menu.

When it comes to google translate try to give the possibility for translation instead of autotranslate.

Better to build new content in the language your translating to.

Best
