Is Justify Post Good for SEO? SEO is complex, and we need to understand it. Technically, when your article ranks on the first page of the search engines, your SEO is successful. But making it is not as simple as it seems.

When I read about SEO, I saw many rules to follow. Is this true? I will write about this more specifically in the following topic. Stay tuned!

Today, I want to discuss Justify Post. Does it have an impact on your SEO?

Since the WordPress 4.7 version was released, there is no longer a function for it in the post editor in WordPress. It was just available on the keyboard shortcut (shift+alt+j).

Why does WordPress hide this function in the post editor?

The reason is that it is not essential for quality writing.

When I tried to research it, I found this answer and agreed with what he said 100%.

Google essentially analyzes source code and not screen appearance. A small part of the algorithm simulates the screen appearance of a page so that the content area and its links get the most important, and things like footer links are given less pop. Screen simulation is also part of Google’s check for possible spam factors, such as hidden text.

So, the answer is essentially no. Text justification is not a ranking factor.

If the page layout gives the visitor a bad time, that dissatisfaction can create a domino effect: fewer natural links, less social media attention, and other adverse effects. So, indirectly, the way text is justified may affect ranking, but that’s Indirect.

You want to ensure that the page is highly readable. Justified text on screen tends to be more challenging to read because browsers do not currently have elaborate kerning functions like printed documents.

So, what about my points?

Undeniably, a justified post will make your writing more neat and clean, but it is unsuitable for SEO. Here, I will explain why it is not a good practice for SEO.

How to Explain Your Content to Google

When Google reads our site, it looks slightly different than when we see it in a browser. Google doesn’t care about fancy design, fonts, colors, animation, or images. All it sees is the content and the HTML surrounding the text.

For example, and to clarify, here I provide a website and how Google sees it.

And look how Google sees the website.

Google will see your blog in HTML/text format, whereas the cleaner your writing is, the more SEO your blog will have. So, what is related to justifying a post?

Is Justify Post Good For SEO?

Now, you have looked at how Google reads and sees your blog. Right?

Ok, when you use justify post, your writing will change the structure of the sentence. For example, the original post is

Sarah goes to school.

When you use justify post, Google will see like this

< style =”text-align: justify;”>Sarah goes to school.”

Did you see how it changed the format of your sentences?

If you use it, Google will see your writing as “text-align: justify;”> Sarah, go to school.” Google looks at your writing as messy and not clean. It will make your SEO writing unfriendly.

What Should You Do If You Need To Use Justify Post?

If you still need to justify a post on your blog without changing your sentence format, please consider using CSS.

How to use it?

You can copy all the CSS above and put it on your CSS theme. Then, all your posts will be justified automatically without changing the structure of the sentence.

Conclusion

In this article, you have learned why justifying posts can have a lousy SEO impact on your blog. You must avoid using justifying posts. If you need this function on your blog, please consider using CSS, as I have provided above. It will be safe for SEO.
