Hello to everyone!

What is wrong with this site?


Google says mobile friendly, its SSL, many pages are indexed but do not show up in search results.

Is it wordpress?

I have some php 5.2 shops running with vintage software mobile-unfriendly and without SSL and they all show up in first three pages in google with most searches just a few days after they are published. However everything I do with Wordpress (or Magento) does not show up.

Basically it seem the competition showing results on first pages does also not use wordpress.

While there are soooo many articles how wonderful ist wordpress for seo I really dont see this. What is wrong?

PS: I make internet shops since 1997 and my conclusions about seo are completely different to what most sites are telling.

Hi,

I checked your site, it was registered on 2019-08-24, so please give it some time.

It's a mostly online shop, your blog section doesn't exist tbh. If you want to rank faster get more social signals - FB, insta, twitter pointing to your website.

The fastest I got my site to page1/rank1 was around 2 months with a fresh domain name with no history, backlinks and social pages.

Good luck man!

To improve the speed and use of resources I suggest you use wp-rocket + cloudflare + smush pro + S3 (aws) for cdn images + another web server configuration can be nginx (or with apache + nginx proxi reverse + varnish

luck

There are many reports of google problems because of bad neighbourhood with cloudflare. I am rather afraid using it.

you also need SSL certificate for https site

It really works, you are in a very low rating in all the reports that I have seen, from the place that it can only improve I do not think it will make anything worse

https://yellowlab.tools/result/fgchvml8ee

the latter has several errors in the report

Google starts to get some results so I will wait a little what happens. Its my 2nd Wordpress site and I made some mistakes in Yoast which I think I corrected.

@ pagespeed insights: it gives my 12 year old php 5.2. shops a 100 and this wordpress site a 2.

css und JS i can do nothing any minify, combine, async ,,,,,,,,, breaks the site or at least has some strange effects I tried this already
