Does GoogleBot Scroll Down Your Page?
One other debate came up in step with what Google’s Gary Illyes said at PubCon and what Google’s John Mueller said beforehand. Gary Illyes said GoogleBot is now not any longer ready to scroll down your page, whereas John Mueller said GoogleBot can scroll fair a puny.
The day earlier than at the present time at PubCon, Gary Illyes said in show for you your content to be indexed by Google, be sure that the content hundreds without the beget to scroll down the page. I.e. indolent loading content or photos in step with scroll occasions is one thing GoogleBot can no longer contend with.
Idle loading is frequently precipitated by JS scroll occasions and no search engine scrolls. Whenever you happen to indolent load photos, engines like google and yahoo won’t survey the explicit image #pubcon @methode recommends striking image tags in a noscript so Google can survey it

Gary did say that Google hundreds a page with a extremely mountainous level of view, over 10,000 pixels. That’s correct, final we heard it modified into 12,a hundred and forty pixels high on mobile and 9,307 pixels high on desktop.
But John Mueller said in a video from a year previously at the 1:50 designate that GoogleBot does scroll fair a puny. He said ” I possess we develop a scroll fair a puny of bit although.” “So as that’s one thing that I possess we’ve been doing for a while,” he added.

So about a of that scrolling is already occurring. I possess that’s form of it as a minimum in the plans that we’ve got some quantity of admire scrolling down to make certain that that there is nothing that we may perchance different could otherwise sail over there.”
