    Hi, I am nearly done (93/100) with SEO but I have a couple of issues that I’m not able to resolve as I don’t really understand how to. The first is this:
    “Try to replace embedded objects with HTML5 alternatives.”

    because

    Your page makes 21 requests. More than 20 requests can result in slow page loading.
    total: 21
    images: 15
    javascript: 4
    stylesheets: 2

    Please could someone point me in the right direction?

    Many thanks.

  • And the second one is about minifying, i don’t know how to minify this:

    Some Javascript files don’t seem to be minified.

    Many thanks.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    1). It is not recommended to use embedded objects such a Map and video iframes since this will hurt your SEO and give link juice to the site that you are embedding from. It is recommended to replace any embeds with HTML5 alternatives. Here is a great article that you can checkout for more info: https://return.co/4-iframe-alternatives-for-better-content-optimisation/

    2). The JS that you have referenced is getting loaded from a different site and thus it is not possible to minify it on your end. You can however get in touch with the plugin author so that they can help further.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll take a look at the minify thing.
    With regards to the embedded things, I dont have any maps or embedded videos on my website. All the content is hosted on my server in wordpress media library so I’m not sure what I can do. Is there any way to find out what it is pointing to?

    Hi Gary,

    Then, you can just ignore this test.

    The score is there only for your reference anyway and doesn’t affect your actual rankings. Treat it only as a to-do list, nothing more. Don’t try to live by it and don’t follow the tests religiously.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
