    Hello, professionals!
    Have anyone had problems with the cached meta description in search results? My page meta description was changed ~2months ago, but it has not changed in search results. I checked when was last google cache and it was 5 days ago… Where I should look for a problem?
    Also, when I check cached google version of the page I can only see a preloader (all content is hidden behind it, and preloader never stops). Could it be related?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Could you temporarily deactivate the preloader and wait a few days until Google crawls the site again to see if the issue still happens?

    Looking forward to help you.

    Hi, again.

    Actually, I find the same issue on another website I manage. This one does not have a preloader, but has the same cache problem. Both of these websites uses Rank Math.

    But I think it’s just a google problem. Because, when I am looking at search results using site:domain and checking my pages it shows bad meta description. But when I am using actual search console (without site:) meta descriptions are good. So it’s just false alarm, right?

    ​Thanks for getting in touch with us.

    Well, if yur settings are fine, you must check if Google has seen the changes already or not.
    ​
    For that, please check when the Google cache was updated for that page:
    a.

    b.

    If the cache date is from before adding the new meta description, then you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info. If the date is after you made the changes,
    ​
    ​Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta title/description for your search keyword, there is nothing you can do as Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and show something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.

    The best you can do is optimize your meta tags to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

    Why the search result title might differ from the page's <title> tag

    Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.
