How to Disable Bad SEO JavaScript In Blogger Template

Before you follow the steps, it is highly recommended to keep a full backup of your template

• Go to your blogger dashboard > Template > Edit HTML
• Click anywhere inside the template editor and press Ctrl + F
• Search for the codes that you found within the search console during Fetch as Google

When you find the exact JavaScript code, insert the 'no' before and after as shown in the given example:

Before

<script type='text/javascript'> //<![CDATA[ //CSS Ready function loadCSS(e, t, n) { "use strict"; var i = window.document.createElement("link"); var o = t || function getposts(json){var totalposts //]]> </script>

After

<noscript type='text/javascript'> //<![CDATA[ //CSS Ready function loadCSS(e, t, n) { "use strict"; var i = window.document.createElement("link"); var o = t || function getposts(json){var totalposts //]]> </noscript>

• Finally, click Save Template

After you make these changes, you must retry the Fetch as Google to reconfirm the results. I hope this tutorial helped you.
