: Google Search Console "Fetch and Render" renders modal popups. What's the impact on SEO? Google's Search console allows you to "Fetch and Render" your web pages. As you can see in the image
Google's Search console allows you to "Fetch and Render" your web pages.
As you can see in the image below it's (unfortunately) clever enough to render the popup modal.
Is this likely to impact SEO negatively, since most of the viewport that Googlebot sees is blocked?
Should I add a check for the Bot's user agent to avoid showing the popup modal?

This will cause issues to your SEO as Googlebot is intelligent enough to identify content that has been greyed out by a modal such as this. If you are able to modify the site one option would be to do away with the modal and replace the quantity and order fields with the postcode selector, when they put in their postcode it will either show an error saying that they are outside the delivery area, or it will show the quantity field and order button, this way Googlebot will see the content it needs to see and index for your SEO and you can still ensure that you have the postcode verification you require prior to orders being placed.
