File size of the HTML page is too big - Avoid loading <localization-form>?

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with SEO crawlers (can't crawl - File size of the HTML page is too big) on my site at https://mobilhouse.it/

 

I've read some articles on the web and looks like the problem is related to a huge amount of html code in my webpage.

 

So I checked the code and I see a big amount of markup related to <localization-form>. The element contains a long list of divs, one for each country. I.e.:

 

 

 

<li class="disclosure__item" tabindex="-1">
<a class="link link--text disclosure__link caption-large focus-inset" href="#" data-value="DZ" id="Algeria">
<span class="visibility-hidden"><svg class="icon icon-checkmark" aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 12 9" fill="none">
<path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M11.35.643a.5.5 0 01.006.707l-6.77 6.886a.5.5 0 01-.719-.006L.638 4.845a.5.5 0 11.724-.69l2.872 3.011 6.41-6.517a.5.5 0 01.707-.006h-.001z" fill="currentColor"></path>
</svg>
</span>
<span class="country">Algeria</span>
<span class="localization-form__currency motion-reduce hidden">
EUR
€</span>
</a>
</li>

 

 

 

Is all this markup needed? Is there a way to avoid loading all this code?

 

I actually use my shop as a catalogue (so there's no cart and no checkout) + I'm selling in EUR only

 

Thank you

Yes If you are a mult regional/language seller.

Unless you code your own localization form to replace it.

Use performance and reporting tools that will tell you exactly what problems are don't just look at source code and assume some part of it alone is the issue.

Also validate the sites HTML and fix any big errors, 📋 not everything is breaking error,  then retest performance.
