Can the WOW.js + Animate.css plugin affect SEO?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Hello.

I read an article that despite the high popularity of the WOW.js plugin, it can have an impact on SEO (the image, the block does not appear until the user reaches it, and until that moment WOW.js sets display: none;) . Accordingly, Google bots do not see the information and do not rank it.

Question: is it really so and what are the alternatives? A site without animation looks wrong.

Answer 1

In such matters, the plugin is easy to test yourself. Make yourself a test page on which the plugin and styles will work. In the console, it is possible to check what Googlebot sees on this page. In the English version "test live url"
There you will see everything yourself and whether it really affects seo.
