Does a JS script who scroll automaticaly into pages could make some content "hidden" ?
-
Hello everybody,
Sorry for my english (I'm French), I will try to do my best...
We've got an e-commerce website : kumulusvape.fr
On each categories, to improve our conversion rate, we put a javascript to automaticaly scroll into the page to the product list. You can see an example here : http://www.kumulusvape.fr/44-e-liquide-savourea-smookiesThis script scroll and make some content "hidden".
It's not really a scroll, just changing page position.Do you think that our h1 and our category content could be consider "hidden" by Google ?
Thank you very much for your help

No, since you didn't make DOM manipulation. So isn't "hidden".
But it's little bit confusing to user. Please make some A/B test and see is scrolling works or doesn't. -
Depending on how you cause the scroll to happen, Google might render the page unscrolled or scrolled. Usually if it's done in the onload() function via Jscript, Google will execute that script and render the page as it is after the script is executed. I've seen examples though where using JQuery's document ready function is NOT executed by Google to render the page.
Test in Google Search Console, using Fetch and Render as Googlebot.
