๐ŸงนWant to declutter your SERPs?
๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Clean out all the 'Features'?
๐Ÿ”— Yearn for the days of 'ten blue links'?

I built an app for that (well, a Chrome extension).

I'd love for you to try it out: https://optimisey.com/optimisey-search-simplify-your-search-results/

Going to try darning some of my lovely wool socks for #menditmay

Got a proper darning mushroom and needles!

@simoncox I've not come across before - but love the idea. There are a number of 'Repair Cafes' popping up around here, which is great.

Not much to add... though I was VERY pleased with myself for fixing my car's rear tail-light the other day.

Not really saving the world - but saved me a few quid! ๐Ÿ˜„

Guess what I've discovered isn't fun... trying to update WordPress with Arabic characters in plugins that only function with the Latin alphabet.

optimisey,
@optimisey@seocommunity.social avatar

@Fizzle_Up Oh man... my sympathies.

I once worked on a site adding 30-40 new language and location sites and sudomains... and the UX considerations around Arabic were ENORMOUS.

That one sub-site took like 4-5 times as much work as any of the others. ๐Ÿ˜„

@optimisey@seocommunity.social avatar

@simoncox @Fizzle_Up In this example it was more that the right to left orientation of the text made some fairly fundamental design elements either not work at all - or need significant re-thinking.

Saw this on an former client's website data and thought "Oooh, I wonder what happened there?"

Turns out they're being acquired.

Surprised at how much traffic is driven by the stock market and traders.

Ok, diagnostic help please.

Why might a site work fine in a new browser, incognito etc.

But in an 'old' Chrome browser all the images hang and don't load (but otherwise the site functions ok).

Scratching my head a bit here (and no, I can't share URLs I'm afraid!).

@optimisey@seocommunity.social avatar

@simoncox Now, pleasingly (for me) I HAD thought of this one.

I've spent the morning faffing with cookies, caches and the like to no avail.

I think @jemjabella has helped me narrow it down to an issue with javascript (when isn't it, eh?). ๐Ÿ˜„

@onreact @rustybrick Or site owners will just blame Google when they bork their site migrations.

So much on lately. Lots of pseudo agencies/SEOs pushing their spammy articles as if it's link building...

@MikeBlazer That's... not ideal.

I haven't seen much (or any?) where's it cropping up for you?

Because there's a link to feedback on accessibility too! Hurra... oh no wait.

It's also hidden and only visible if you search on the page for the word "accessibility"?

Holy circular issues Batman!

Genuinely @searchliaison think this might be one to feedback to someone in the team?

OK me and/or Mastodon server rate limits borked my reply chaining here.

It stems from this post: https://seocommunity.social/@optimisey/112173070335143298

@simoncox Oh. Is it just me that gets the "Rated limited" messages that say "Try again at 12:20" or whatever?

@simoncox I can't work out whether you're teasing me or not. ๐Ÿ˜„

Now I'm going to have to try and replicate it so I can screenshot it and prove I'm haven't lost all of my marbles (yet!).

i do check the Twatters for DMs occasionally and this absolutely brilliant video popped up of @MordyOberstein trying Marmite for the first time! @optimisey sent him some.

https://x.com/MordyOberstein/status/1770359961878482998?s=20

is like Marmite

@simoncox @MordyOberstein Glad you enjoyed it Simon. Quite a lot of mileage (metaphorically and literally!) out of a jar of Marmite ๐Ÿ˜„
