Does animated text hurt SEO?

If the full text is in the HTML source code and that is exactly what is being animated on page, you are probably fine.

It may as far as site speed is concerned. We use Pingdom and I've personally used Pingdom to get an idea of site speed impacts. If your site load speed is faster than 2 or 2.5 seconds you're good to go.

From a content stand point just make sure that text is relevant and helpful to the user and you have a good start!!

There are many cases where mind-blowing animated design negatively affects the site's SEO. Whilst you may expect an increasing number of visitors to a better-designed website, in reality, you may see the opposite occur. In order to be successful, any website needs to perform well in search engines.

I find animated text goofy. It might not be the animated text/coding itself effecting your SEO. It could just be people disliking the animated text and simply leaving your pages. I don't know what application animated text is good for other than in a powerpoint presentation.

Animated text will hurt the over all user experience of the website pages because it will decrease the page speed and maximum performance of the site. Plain text and interesting headers are enough to express your most informative information within the pages.

Hey, Shreecaterers I think I wouldn't care about animation or graphics per se, but I would make sure that alt text tags are included. Google cannot index images, but it does index alternative text. If you are using too much animation, please know Google cares about page speed and mobile responsiveness. Your page may load quickly, but the browser may take some time to render JavaScript or animations. This may affect the user experience.
