«Today, the speed of mobile networks has increased significantly, the development has become more accessible and easier, and sites and businesses have reoriented on a mobile format. Mobile versions of sites have become basic functionality, and many sites create their own mobile applications. In these circumstances, Turbbo’s technology has lost its relevance, and it was decided to stop its support in two months. The resources of the team, which was engaged in this technology, will be reoriented to develop other solutions to business and media in the search, ”the press service said.
The company also attached instructions for the owners of turbo pages to adapt sites to work without this technology.
«In the next two months, owners of turbo pages will be able to adapt their sites to work without this technology if necessary. According to the results of experiments and measurements, the shutdown of turbo will not affect the distribution of traffic on sites. The “turbo pistan” section in the webmaster will turn off in two months, it is not necessary to remove fids on your own. The feeds that were loaded into the turbo section are already known for the search robot and can continue to be periodically downloaded by the robot. This gives the search additional signals about the appearance of new pages on your site. If for some reason you do not want to inform the search for updates to the site, you can delete the feed or limit the robot access to the fido through Robots.txt. “
«Yandex ”launched“ turbo ”in 2017. The technology allows the owners of sites to create light versions of web pages, which are quickly loaded with a slow network connection, and Yandex Browser users openly open ordinary pages, if necessary, compressing their contents and blocking the loading of heavy and optional elements.
