I'm experiencing the same issue from time to time across a number of WordPress sites - so I figure it's worth starting a conversation as Google doesn't seem to have much to say about this.
In a number of sites, at differnt times, using ACF Pro, certain data seems to go missing from the front-end. Simply resaving the post in admin and then refreshing on the front-end resolves the display issue - per post.
As this is happening in hundreds of posts on a brand new site this time, it's worth seeing if anyone has had this - and what they've done to resolve it. Finding each post amongst thousands is going to be too much effort to hunt and resave each from the admin panel.
After being in touch with the developer of the plugin, they pointed us to a caching plugin as being an issue. I haven't had any issues since disabling this caching.

I have recently become aware of a major change in the HTML of the Facebook web version. Is there anywhere I can find out how often the HTML code is updated?
I've tried to ask on the Meta Developer Community Forum, but I can't post it due to 'error performing query'
Many thanks!
Not every company has a set update frequency for their pages, and sometimes only small portions will be changed when they do update. In order to avoid and discourage scrapers, most companies won't publicly reveal it, either.
I suppose you could do your own testing and find out, but you might get a lot further by posting a question asking more specifically about what it is that you're trying to achieve
We're trying to work out how to resolve this issue, the current issue we have is our extension works on a unlimited amount of websites 1 of the features is a time & screenshot monitor so employer can track freelancers work other feature is ability to highlight text on any site and run a amazon search for the highlighted text for example.
We are always updating and any issues got fixed within 24-48 hours now with this happening every time we have to wait 1-3 weeks for a review according to google devs.
If we change the manifest to specific websites only then 99% of the time our extensions not going to work on all the other sites not listed. Can we do something else?
IF ANYONE HAS A SOLUTION OF WHAT WE CAN CHANGE TO MAKE THIS WORK I'M ALL EARS!
I normally leave a website alone and check every now and then after it is finished. I wasn't paying attention to my google analytics, and then on april 18-20 there is a significant drop on number of users & the bounce rate became 100%.
I'm a web developer by profession, and i didn't spot anything wrong.
The site doesn't seem to be hacked, and just before i reinstall everything (files and DB), I wanted to ask if you can find something is wrong with it?

The site loads a lot of different javascript and css files, maybe you can try a caching plugin like WP-Rocket or WP Fastest Cache to bundle and cache the files.
Ask some questions...
When you put the site live, was the performance good?
If it was what changed in-between then and now?
Was it an automated core/plugin/theme update that slowed down the
site?
What happened to traffic after 20th April?
Did bounce rate decrease and visitors increase?
What do your server logs show for the 18th to the 20th?
etc etc...
Your site does load a ton of resources and on the programs page there are two images each over 1MB that load in. Try WP Smush over your media folder
First time post here, so forgive me for any bad etiquette/format.
I will preface by saying:
I have (over the last few months) been developing an iOS app for work. To be more specific, I am developing an inventory app to track bar inventory (liquor, beer, wine, etc). I can give more specifics on request if needed. I have most of the functionality done, only a couple more things I would like to implement. Eventually I will be porting it to Android as well.
At the moment, I have the model objects being archived to the local filesystem for saving and loading of data. However, my goal would be to database the model objects with the ability to display the information on a webpage. My logic is that no matter where the user is, he/she will be able to sign in to a service using a username and password, and view correctly formatted current/past inventories online. This is to allow the ability for a bartender to record the inventory, and have the bar manager view the inventory instances without having to have the physical device that recorded the inventory in his/her possession.
So here is my question:
Without being too general, what kind of service would I need to pull this off? I have a good amount of relevant front-end experience, specifically with iOS, Objective-C, HTML and CSS. However, I have ZERO experience on the back-end. I have researched around the internet, and I am aware of things such as cloud databases, web hosting and MySQL, etc. However, I cannot seem to find a definitive answer without asking my specific question. I suppose I would just like to be pointed in the right direction before investing money and time into a service that may prove useless to my cause.
Any resources and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
There's not a definitive answer and you have a lot of options.
For me, the simplest is to set up a server with a database incorporated (mysql for example) and with a web service (written in PHP for example) that manages the database and queries on that.
Online you can find tons of guide on how to write a script in PHP that manages a database:

For the iOS part you can follow also this guide:

Good luck!
We have inherited a website of around 30,000 pages (actual content), each with a unique title and rich content. Whatever we try, Google seems to not like listing the new site and visits have dropped by 80% (vs. old site & domain).
The website was redeveloped recently and changed domain at that point too, which hasn't helped work out what is happening and this marked the drop in visitors. The old domain was registered Oct 2005, the new in 2009, so both have some age to them. In Webmaster tools recently submitted a notice that the site address had changed, possibly too soon to see any effect of this (7th Dec).
The older CMS was hard to redirect from, so have a very large .htaccess file (1MB), is there a limit to how large this file should be with redirects? I could perhaps code something in PHP to handle the 30,000 redirects programatically, but the URL's in the old were pretty strange using comma separation and other symbols. I have used header checkers and the correct 301's are being returned.
We also submitted a sitemap with 25,000 pages via Webmaster tools, of which it listed 11! There were no errors and as I say, the page content is rich with descriptive titles.
Google can see 68,000 pages in Webmaster tools, but the actual listed in only 175, so the problem seems quite significant and the others remain 'unselected'. The curve of the 'unselected' seems to reflect the efforts we have put in to have the site list, yet they seem not to be indexed.
Site: http://bit.ly/VKYClf
(The older site was the same name but hyphenated)
I have researched a lot, but all steps so far have been fruitless and the pages listed hands around the 170 mark.
Can you think of any specific steps worth taking to identify any factors preventing the site from listing?
Thanks in advance and happy to provide more information on anything.
EDIT: In case it helps anyone else, the website is built of Wordpress but uses custom vars to generate lots of pages on the fly... since WP 2.9 a canonical tag was added, but the two were not playing well together and they were pointing to anything WP could find with that ID... have now removed and hopefully things are moving forward
It's going to take awhile to get fully indexed if you just submitted 25000 url's, it may take months for that.
I would recommend you log into google webmasters, go to health (fetch as Google) you can give individual url's to crawl, Google should respond within 24 hours. If your indexed page still does not show up you have major problems that I would not be able to assist with. You get 500 fetches a week. If you want your site indexed right away it may be your only shot.
