CMS sub-categories are not optimized for mobile => NOTHING IS OPTIMIZED FOR MOBILE!

[Vicente Paul]

There is a big SEO issue with MENU CMS sub-categories links in mobile (see in the 2 atachments), because spaces between the CMS sub-categories links are too close.

 

The problem is that as this is part of the menu, all pages are considered as non-mobile friendly!!

The same problem occurs with the CMS Page links which are too close.

 

=> ANYBODY KNOWS HOW TO MODIFY THE CSS TO HAVE BIGGER SPACES BETWEEN THESES MENU LINKS?

 

It also seems the Google bot cannot read the Menu css, because it shows the menu without any styling.

Because it indent each link level, the Google bot also says that the content is wider that the screen size (which is not true).

The extra-spaces between the menu links, I already solved like this (in bold):

 

/public_html/themes/classic/templates/cms/category.tpl

 

{block name='page_content'}

  {block name='cms_sub_categories'}

    {if $sub_categories}

      <p>{l s='List of sub categories in %name%:' d='Shop.Theme' sprintf=['%name%' => $cms_category.name]}</p>

      <ul>

        {foreach from=$sub_categories item=sub_category}

          <li><a href="{$sub_category.link}">{$sub_category.name}</a></li>

          <span> </span>

        {/foreach}

      </ul>

    {/if}

  {/block}

 

  {block name='cms_sub_pages'}

    {if $cms_pages}

      <p>{l s='List of pages in %name%:' d='Shop.Theme' sprintf=['%name%' => $cms_category.name]}</p>

      <ul>

        {foreach from=$cms_pages item=cms_page}

          <li><a href="{$cms_page.link}">{$cms_page.meta_title}</a></li>

          <span> </span>

        {/foreach}

      </ul>

    {/if}

  {/block}

{/block}

The second issue was explained by the Google Search Console, see in attachment...

 

Put in robots.txt:

 

Allow: */themes/classic/assets/cache/*.css

Allow: */themes/classic/assets/cache/*.js

Allow: */themes/classic/assets/css/*.css

Allow: */themes/classic/assets/js/*.js

Hi, thank you very much for the help, I had the same problem

 

after changing the code, I have to tell google one by one each web, or just send sitemaps and expect to see the changes ??

 

sorry but i'm very new, thank you

Google will discover that automatically, but sending the URLs in the search console will be quicker...

Agree. thank you very much Vicente Paul
