Why this matters
Content loaded inside iframes is not indexed by Yandex, reducing page content visibility and SEO signals.
Hypothetical standard operating procedure
Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.
- Identify any critical content currently loaded inside iframes.
- Move important content into the main HTML body or load as directly crawlable components.
- Replace iframe-only sections with inline elements when possible.
- Test indexing status for those pages in Yandex Webmaster.
Watch for
Key content inside iframes is invisible to Yandex and does not contribute to ranking.
Definition of done
All important content is present directly on the page or in crawlable HTML elements, no critical content only in iframes.
