I have searchfeed.com search results on my site. It makes me some money, but the trouble is that it slows down the load time of each page. So, instead of having 40k+ pages indexed in G, it drops to a few hundred. Then my traffic and revenue drop drastically.

I am absolutely certain that it is the searchfeed script slowing down my pages. I have submitted requests to searchfeed looking for a faster script, but I get no reply. So, my question is this:

How do I force the browser to skip loading of the searchfeed script until the rest of the content has loaded? Does anyone know of a way to make the searchfeed script run faster?

Thanks,

Frank

SE crawlers don't do javascript so that isn't the issue there

read this thread http://www.highrankings.com/forum/in...howtopic=22636 and this one http://www.highrankings.com/forum/in...howtopic=22570


for browsers the problem is likely to be with the feed servers being unable to handle the requests fast enough.

It is true. Based on the results, it must be true that it makes a difference to the spiders. If the page takes a while to load because of the javascript, it would cause the spiders to leave before the page loads. I agree, normally this would not be a problem for the spiders, but... I have a php include pulling the javascript that is included in the header file. So, the page waits for searchfeed to load its stuff before loading the rest. I have heard of some css trick to do this, but I can't find it anywhere.

you're missing the point

the javascript simply will not be triggered by the crawlers. spiders don't wait for pages to load. all the crawler gets is the source code. So unless you have enough javascript code (as text) to make the page more than 120Kb. It's not an issue for crawlers

Only javascript enabled useragents will be waiting for the feed to load.

the CSS "trick" you are looking for is to place the code for the feed before the closing </body> then position the container absolutely to remove it from the document flow.
