      Hi All,

      I have this problem, that has been a pain in the ****. I get tons of crawl errors from "Googlebot" saying a specific Javascript method does not exist in my logs. I then go to the affected page and test in a web browser and the page works without any Javascript errors.

      Can some help with resolving this issue?

      Thanks in advance.

        I think with this being such a niche query, we'd really need to see an example of a page which is triggering the error - to even attempt to help!

          I agree With Effectdigital we would need to see a copy of the page to be able to help with that.

          It's more common than you think.

          Maybe share the page from Google search console?

          Hope this helps,

          Tom

            Can you post a log file?

            if you don’t want the domain shown search & replace it with example.com ?

            or show us a photo of the problem?

            or use screaming Frog to run a Java test?

            • Brushing up on my SEO skills - how do I check my website to see if Javascript is blocking search engines from crawling the links within a javascript-enabled drop down menu?

            • During my last crawl suddenly no errors or warnings were found, only one, a 403 error on my homepage.
