Why is there so much 'stuff' in the first few rules of my html page?

Hi,

When I compare the code of a blog page of my website with theme x pro to one of the blogs of Moz.com (https://moz.com/blog/advanced-content-promotion-strategies) or Backlinko (https://backlinko.com/seo-strategy) there’s LOTS of stuff above the actual content of that blog. I don’t think this is good for Google as they scan a website from top to bottom in HTML, right? How can I reduce all that stuff and make it more clean so that my content will be more at the top just like the other 2 examples I gave you.

Hi @djinnie,

Thanks for reaching out.

It’s not part of the content or HTML, and it’s placed within the <head> and not just above the content. CSS and Javascript are usually placed within <head> or before </body>.

Those sample sites as minimal site design so the styling or even the code is much simpler, the first one is not a Wordpress too so it’s completely different.

It should have no effect on SEO.

Thanks!
