2 meta descriptions found on all pages

    Hi,

    Need help regarding Meta Descriptions.

    While evaluating the source code I can find two meta descriptions on all pages. I had only written one meta description for one specific page but the other meta description is by default showing on the header of the page. It is the same description for all pages on the header part.
    Need help with the following:
    1. Is it necessary to have 2 meta descriptions? As per my understanding 2 meta descriptions are not good from an SEO point of view, kindly confirm.
    2. Is RankMath causing this to happen, if yes then how to deactivate it?
    3. If no, then how to know which plugin is causing it to happen and then deactivate it?
    I am not an expert, need help in this regard.

    Example of pages –
    Link1 – https://www.thestonestudio.in/product/2-feet-buddha-statue/
    Link2 – https://www.thestonestudio.in/handicraft/buddha-statues/
    Link3 – https://www.thestonestudio.in/product/buddha-fountain-statue/

    Humbly awaiting your reply.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for the update, and sorry for the delay.

    You would need to take the inline CSS and add it to your theme. For example, by adding a new CSS file to your theme with that content. You can also get in touch with your theme provider for further assistance.

    Moreover, the inline CSS can also be due to your optimization plugin (if you have any). Please temporarily deactivate any optimization plugins that you may have recently installed and then check if there will be any change in this.

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.

    Awaiting reply

    I am facing another issue
    While analyzing the source code of 2 competitor site –
    https://www.lotussculpture.com/
    https://www.statuestudio.com/

    I have found a line named –
    <meta name=”keywords” content=

    But that line is not present in http://www.thestonestudio.in

    What’s its use and is it necessary?

    If yes, how to input it in page?

    Hello,

    ​Those are meta keywords. Please note that Google does not honor Meta Keywords for quite a long now so we never added them to the plugin.

    You can read more about that here:
    https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html

    ​However, you can use the focus keyword set within Rank Math as meta keyword for your posts/pages/products using this filter in your theme’s functions.php file:

    Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know.

    ​Thank you.

    Kindly reply on the above issue regarding the images not populating on FB, insta and other social portals

    Hello,

    Thank you for the update, and sorry for the delay.

    I’ve already replied to your other concern above. Please let us know how this goes.

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.

    Kindly tell how to do the following as I am not a coder –

    “You would need to take the inline CSS and add it to your theme. For example, by adding a new CSS file to your theme with that content. You can also get in touch with your theme provider for further assistance.”

    Yes I have cache plugins installed in my site but even after putting the images in RankMath social why is it not populating on links, it should populate.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Please temporarily disable your optimization plugins and check if the inline CSS is still present in the source of your website. You can check the inline CSS on your website by following this screencast: https://i.rankmath.com/M3tTbb

    If the inline CSS displayed in the above screencast is still there, then you can contact your theme developers regarding the issue and ask them to move the inline CSS into a separate file.

    Yes I have cache plugins installed in my site but even after putting the images in RankMath social why is it not populating on links, it should populate.

    As mentioned by my colleague, social media platforms like Facebook, look for the social images (og:image) in the first 60Kbs of your website’s source. Due to the presence of a huge amount of inline CSS on your website, the social images section is pushed way too much downwards that it is likely to be not seen by Facebook.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    I’m sure the images are not populating due to the cache plugin. By disabling the plugin, it will cause huge network payloads. So that’s out of the question.

    Is there any way that I have cache plugins enabled and still the images can be populated on the social portals?

    kindly help

    Hello,

    I tried logging in to your website but the login links seem to have expired.

    Can you please try using any other caching plugin and check if that fixes the issue?

    You can use WP Fastest Cache or W3 Total Cache.

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.
