[Jasmine]

Even when you have implemented everything you know about SEO, some silly mistakes can affect your SEO performance. Here are some three common issues that you might have overlooked, which could be affecting your website ranking on search engines.

Duplicate Content

Duplicate content does not only means duplicate content on other websites, it also includes duplicate pages on your website. If you republish a large chuck of text from one of your web pages as a new page, there will be two different pages for the same content, therefore, that is duplicate content.

Slow Loading Speed

Check the site loading speed, if it is longer than 5 seconds, check your website and try to find out what is causing slow speed.

Pages Not Crawling

Pages not crawling means, search engines not being able to access your pages. Find the reason and fix it as soon as possible.
