Overlay Menu and SEO

[MWPA]

Hi,

I have a question regarding SEO and the use of overlay menus.

If you use an overlay menu, does it impact SEO in any way?

In WordPress, menus are typically rendered as structured HTML lists (<nav>, <ul>, <li> tags), which are good for SEO. However, what if instead of a traditional menu, I load a page that contains links to my pages, and this page acts as an (overlay) menu? Would this setup affect how search engines index the site and the links?

Thanks for your insights!

hey!

mmh good question! maybe it would affect it.
maybe you can use a plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-in-post/

and add a shortcode to your overlay with that with +more → +shortcode

Thanks Armin! I will look into this. Looks like a good solution.
