Google Handles display:none & visibility:hidden The Same

Some time support, JR Oakes requested Martin Splitt of Google if he can confirm if there could be a distinction between cowl:none and visibility:hidden in terms of Google’s capacity to “glimpse” the content within the container? Martin said he does no longer focus on there could be a distinction. JR Oakes then determined to take a look at it.

Listed below are those fashioned tweets:

Without needing tested this, I don't focus on there's an amazing distinction.

I glimpse where you're coming from. I will steal a look, but I sing the distinction is going to be minimal b/c even supposing one is within the layout tree, this would perhaps fair no longer be marked as visible. But as of now: That's speculative.

What he learned is that there could be rarely any distinction between cowl:none and visibility:hidden. He said “Google quiet finds and indexes both. They’re going to both seem as answer boxes.” He even tested it to cowl it.

JR said he “hid two Q/A pairs, one in visibility:hidden, the quite a lot of cowl:none” and additionally they both looked in Google Search.

Here is a cowl shot:

Thanks JR for trying out this.
