Strangely using this tool doesn’t produce the same issue: https://technicalseo.com/tools/fetch-render/

Page renders as I would expect.

Hi,

I had thought this issue had gone away with a rollback to the earlier version of the theme. It had from the browser perspective.

However, now I am seeing Googlebot smartphone complain about pages not being usable on mobile.

The same rendering oddity is seen in the preview of what the bot is able to render.

I have this javascript console error:

Uncaught TypeError: a is not a function at https://www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/oceanwp/assets/js/vendors/magnific-popup.min.js?ver=1.0:4:374 at https://www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/oceanwp/assets/js/vendors/magnific-popup.min.js?ver=1.0:4:73 at https://www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/oceanwp/assets/js/vendors/magnific-popup.min.js?ver=1.0:4:147
https://www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/oceanwp/assets/js/vendors/magnific-popup.min.js?ver=1.0:3

I am continuing to investigate my side, but would appreciate any input.

After sleeping on this I came back to my staging site and disabled all plugins. I found the maps now load with my theme, so I started enabling plugins again.

What I found was this plugin somehow conflicts on my blog archive pages loading a map as described, but another map on a WP page didn’t have an issue. Strange, but at least now I knew how to tackle the issue.

I checked in the settings for the plugin and didn’t find anything to stop the plugin from acting on the blog archive pages. What became apparent though was this plugin tries to do a lot of things, instead of just doing one thing well.

So I switched over to this simple plugin instead which does the same thing and now everything is working as expected. Maps now load on all pages without this issue.

This came up as I have external affiliate products in WooCommerce, which I pull external images for.

I believe all of this means the issue isn’t down to the theme I am using exclusively. Maybe it’s my theme and the featured image from url plugin which impacts IGM.
Whatever the scenario, hopefully this can help someone down the line.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tested disabling Autoptimize entirely on a staging site and found the issue still happens.

I then switched my theme from OceanWP to Twenty Twenty-One and found the issue is no longer seen.

I’m not really sure where that leaves me, but I kinda think this is a theme issue of some kind at this point.

Thanks,

Jeremy.
