  • Tony McCreath: Do a fetch as Googlebot to test if the urls are fixed.
  • Dave Elliott: I'm often finding that the fetch and render doesn't like certain javasscript files that are part of the core of our cms. A lot of our fetch and render stuff comes up as a divert for example.

    No crawl errors, no indexing errors, fetch as google works so i'm not bothered.

    Keep debating about blocking the offending javascript files again via robots.txt but really don't think i should care.(should i?)

    The cuetimes listed on this page are functional while the live broadcast continues and also once Youtube has finished processing the public broadcast. Processing time varies between 6-24 hours. During this period the clip is viewable in full but the cuetimes cannot be relied on.
