Validation: Resource Over 2MB

JavaScript and CSS files which are over 2mb in size. This is important as Googlebot limit their crawling and indexing to the first 2mb of a file.

This means anything beyond this limit in JavaScript or CSS might not be processed.

Google only considers the first 2mb of the file for indexing and stops crawling afterwards. The file size limit is applied on the uncompressed data.

How to Analyse in the SEO Spider

View URLs with this issue in the ‘Validation’ tab and ‘Resource Over 2mb’ filter, and export all URLs using the ‘Export’ button.

The ‘Size’ column shows the relevant uncompressed size of the file which is relevant.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when JavaScript or CSS files are over 2mb in size.

How To Fix

Ensure all resources are below 2mb in file size.

Identify why the resource is so large, and consider any necessary improvements to reduce file size where appropriate.
