Title: SEO implications Last modified: August 26, 2020 --- # SEO implications * Resolved [jakevhd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakevhd/) * (@jakevhd) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seo-implications/) * After installing and activating this plugin we can see in google search console that the comments are no longer in google’s crawled version of each blog post for our site, is there anyway this can be rectified? This is leading to a significant decrease in traffic.

This plugin should load the comments in normal way if the visitor is a search engine bot.

Could you confirm if the Google or any other search engine bot will properly be able to read (and index) the comments? - This reply was modified 5 years, 6 months ago by [Dhananjay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dhananjaygbhardwaj/). * Plugin Author [Joel James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelcj91/) * (@joelcj91) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seo-implications/#post-13762835) * Hey all, * Yes, this plugin will not lazy load comments to search engines. You can check that using some tools like this [https://totheweb.com/learning_center/tools-search-engine-simulator/](https://totheweb.com/learning_center/tools-search-engine-simulator/) * [Dhananjay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dhananjaygbhardwaj/) * (@dhananjaygbhardwaj) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seo-implications/#post-13764560) * [@joelcj91](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelcj91/) Thank you for the prompt reply. * I checked via the tool and I couldn’t find the comments anywhere in the results. Could it be because I chose the “on click” option to load the comments and not the “on scroll” option? * Plugin Author [Joel James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelcj91/) * (@joelcj91) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seo-implications/#post-13769029) * Hey [@dhananjaygbhardwaj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dhananjaygbhardwaj/), * Can you share you website link?

It’s a cache problem, exclude “llc_scroll.min.js” from minify and then Google bot can see the comments. I try it in Search Console with W3 Total Cache. * If you don’t exclude “llc_scroll.min.js” from minify, the bot doesn’t see the comments. Please try and let me know if you solve it. * However, in this way the performance on Pagespeed insights does not improve, so for now I have disabled the plugin 🙁 * [@joelcj91](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelcj91/) any tips about it?

In my case, I have just accepted to deal with the comments and remove any that doesn’t actually add any value to the page. * Yes, a few particular pages might be affected in terms of speed, but in my recent testing, the difference is not so significant. So I will let it settle there. * [Dhananjay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dhananjaygbhardwaj/) * (@dhananjaygbhardwaj) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seo-implications/#post-13950423) * [@joelcj91](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelcj91/) Do you have any more information for us?
