Very interesting topic. Is there any tool like Screaming Frog or anything else that does this kind of title comparison, in order to discover discrepancies between an assigned title and a different served title?
Super interesting and helpful as we already faced the same issue.Can't wait to see the next episode! <3
Super useful guys! Keep going!
Thanks martin, why don't you continue the mythbusting
t says: "Page is not indexed: URL is unknown to Google"
All the options below that (Discovery, Crawl, Indexing) are N/A pls help me
As someone who listens to these rather watch them, if you could read aloud the text in the transitions it would be SO helpful for catching the context. Otherwise fantastic video!
@Martin Splitt yes rendertron is free, just needs some attention from you on the pending PRs 😉. I will be happy to help
Google Webmaster Tools > HTML Improvements > Search Appearance (410) was very helpfully 😊 to identify and solve a similar issue.
Thanks for the insight, love learning how to debug and talk with devs from these series 🙂
This was fantastic! Love the props 🙂
Thank you, Martin and Luke.
This is a super userful video about solutions– I hope this series continues!
Wonderful to see Luke having a chat about tech solutions! Super helpful 🙂
Long-long time ago there were server languages like PHP and there was no need to re-invent server-side rendering 🙂
