      I know optimisation is now considered 'old hat' but like many old hats not only is it comfortable but it is (in my experience) still functional and working in ranking websites.

      Yes there are plenty of other drivers, but I still consider optimisation to be important, hence the question

      Google Reviews Plugin - Does This Impact Negatively On SEO By Diluting Optimisation?

      From my (limited in many ways) understanding this puts hundreds if not thousands of extra words on a page - so this must surely be reducing the amount of optimisation?  And then could it actually lead to a decline in rankings?

      Has anyone had any experience in this, I would love to use the Google Reviews plugin but just wanted to be sure first...

      Many thanks

        I don't think so it is badly impact for SEO. It is an external script loading async on your website but there is a thing which might be considered as bad.  Sometime users who reviewed on google has private profiles which makes their profile picture 404 not found in google reviews plugin. I have googled it but didn't find any solution. So, i have come up with the lazy load solution but that's not permalink. It is just delayed loading the images which render the page quickly. Without using the lazy load the 404 not found links might take extra seconds for requests.  I used this plugin on my website  http://t20slam.com to show the reviews on my event but removed it because of 404 images errors. Other than this i think it is ok.

                Showing reviews on your website is a good idea to have social proof. But make sure to keep it watch regularly for broken links.  You can use the broken link monitor plugin to keep things automated. for more info you view this boxing site which has borken link checker installed.

                1- goto source of website

                2- use chrome ctrl+f to search "plugins" and you will find all the plugins installed.

                Thanks
