Events Calendar - Google Search Console "Something Went Wrong"

Currently I have around 390 entries in my Event Calendar and when the settings are set to show 12 months per page the site fails to inxed on google search console with “something went wrong’.

Visually you can see that the site has an extended pause of about 4 seconds before the 1st event is shown.

Now I have updated the settings on advice from your help desk to 1 month and whilst the delay is still there it is reduced. Google Search console works and index’s the home page correctly and identifies the events.

But here is the kicker. Google only identifies the events in the 1st page thus only events in the current month. So I have increased the setting till it starts to fail

The site is currently set to 8 months which is the max i can do before Google Search Console fails again

Is there anything else I can change as I have tried to consolidate images for each event but that makes no difference in the load time?

it is worth noting that the splash screen hides most of the delay visually.

here is a version of the site without the splashscreen

Hi there, @Chris_Rhodes :waving_hand:

You’d like to pull all events into the schema markup while keeping high loading speed of the widget, right?

Here is what we can suggest here: you can reduce the number of months per page and we’ll manually add a markup that includes all your events.

Keep in mind, though, you’ll need to update this markup manually whenever you edit or add new events, since it’s a custom setup that isn’t automatically synced with the widget.

Please let me know if you’d like to proceed this way :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @Max

Ideally I would love to decrease the load time but understand that the more events that I post the longer it takes to load.

Your proposal is totally fine with me as this will enable me to get google to catalogue events whilst serving the site quickly.

I currently have a process for publishing new events and updating google so adding a few tasks is fine

Thanks

Chris
