Thanks Adam. Your suggestion to go through Troubleshooting Mode and enable each of the plugins to find the one causing the issue worked. Plugin 35 of 36 is Asset Cleanup Page Speed Booster and was causing huge delays in loading the data and graphs.

The plugin is mainly about loading only the JS and CSS needed for a page, but I my use of it was merely to get XML-RC (and pingback) option disabled via this plugin. I’ll find another plugin to do that.

Many thanks

Hi

To reiterate what I’ve mentioned above, the Google screenshot I provided are for indexed URLs. Yes, I use Console and the Yoast config for my tags and categories were done before they were indexed and last crawled.

Put this into Google as an example – site:paulmichaelphotos.uk/tag/south-west-coast-path/

The resulting item was indexed some time ago and was last crawled on 6th February 23 according to Console. The description on Google is not what is set up in Yoast.

While that description may be OK – not much harm – for one of my tags, it is likely that several tags will have been found on the page from where this one was lifted, and Google appears to set them all with the same description based on the page it found it. That is not good.

I don’t understand why Google is not finding and using the Yoast description.

Many thanks

Hi

That was a great plugin and helped me to resolve 5 database entries.

It didn’t resolve the issue at first but I found a rogues CSS file I think belonging to the Theme that was referencing /home/hostID/etc. rather than my correct URL.

Thanks for your help

These are the screenshots

Thanks for responding. Yes, that could be the case from my previous host.

Over the weekend I did some analysis and found another possible reason. Many of my images at varying-sized thumbnails didn’t get WebP formats created while other sizes did.

What I realised is that I use a plugin to create a tiled gallery without Jetpack. Others may do the same as this one does…

When you create a gallery, the tiled solution that is shown is made up of small, medium and larger images. I found that some of the sizes weren’t of the size set in WP functions by the Theme. So these images with strange sizes are in the mix of the sizes set by the Theme and those set by WP itself. The generated WebP versions were created for all but the tiled gallery ones.

I wondered if the WebP generator adheres just to them and WP-sized images?

Thanks for this. It’s making sense. I’m on a LiteSpeed server now (not sure what I moved from) and have had to make a few additions to htaccess for other plugins.

Mod_rewrite is available. Would you know what I need to put into my htaccess file?

Perfect. Thanks very much Asad
