In the previous page you have seen how Fetch and Render serves as troubleshooter to identify potential issues with your content, which may make it user unfriendly.

As we sign up for Google Search Console, Googlebot will crawl our website overall. However we do not want to risk individual pages and future posts and reviews to miss out in the process. That is why it is recommendable that we fetch and render every new content piece we publish.

Furthermore, as Kyle advises that we should always go back to our old reviews and spruce them up in an attempt to ensure that our content remains as correct and up to date as possible, we risk Google not crawling new versions of our posts and reviews.

That is when Fetch and Render becomes essential in inviting Google to index your changed content.

So, how to fetch and render? Find out in the next page.

Thanks for this. I never understood what rendering meant before. I do have one question. Doesnt our search map alrrt google to new content or should we still notify google maually? Margaret

I think it's a yes to both options Margaret. My understanding is that the search map does alert to new content to index, but the fetching (and rendering) prompts Googlebot to crawl for errors to enable easier indexing :)

Becky, serious, don't worry. It's just one more step to follow after you have published new content. Very easy to implement with Robert's training. And absolutely nothing to worry about :)

Not too bad Becky. I'm on sleeping tablets now, prescribed by my GP, and I can finally sleep - yay!!! It's been a gods send, as for the first week in years I have rediscovered I have energy during the day to use for work...and for WA and my websites of course #lol
How about you young Rebecca, how are you faring??

I'm like Picasso, lol! Chiseling away and creating a masterpiece to be proud of. :)

I'm happy you are sleeping better, now back to work it is.

One chisel at a time!

Thanks so much...I've just been fetching - had no idea rendering was important :( Can I go and fetch + render the old posts that have already been fetched to make up for this error?

I think you can, Soraya. Not only that, but you can fetch or fetch and render again old posts that you may or not have changed.
In passing though, as I try to fetch and render, I keep getting a partial reading - it keeps telling me it's something to do with the coding, which is well beyond my knowledge.
Some say fetching should be enough, others swear you should go for the double function.
