External Blocked Resource

What This Means

External resources (such as images, JavaScript and CSS) that are blocked from rendering by robots.txt or an error. This can be an issue as the search engines might not be able to access critical resources to be able to render pages accurately.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when external resources match directives within the robots.txt. An example of this could be a directive like: Disallow: /wp-includes/ In the robots.txt file, which would block search engines from crawling any resources that begin with https://www.getasky.com/wp-includes/  Such as: https://www.getasky.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.min.js 

How To Fix

If critical to your content, update the external subdomains robots.txt and resolve any errors to allow resources to be crawled and used for rendering of the websites content.
