Fetch as Googlebot says Status Complete but Part of Page missing!

[Kratos]

Is anybody getting the fetch as Googlebot tool to not render a whole page complete on the preview despite it says the status is complete?

When we browse down the windows for "This is how Googlebot saw the page:" and "This is how a visitor to your website would have seen the page:" only about 2/3 of the page is displayed despite the fact that the page is wholly rendered on a mobile phone. It is a huge page, about 12,000 words but when we open th epage on a mobile phone the page loads completely without any issues.

Is this another bug of the Fetch as Googlebot? I just don't get why it says the page is status is complete (i.e. no blocking of anything) and then it eats up a good chunk of it when we try to preview it as "Googlebot and a visitor would see it".

Thanks for any help.

Does the page show up completely on Google's caches?

Does the fetch request come through as a 200 or a 206? (Can't remember ever seeing a 206 from a Googeblot, but...)

Simply uploading the page again fixed the issue for me.

The 12,000 words does raise an obvious possibility that you will never get an real answer to this question as the likely hood of someone here uploading page of that size is small. The largest page I have ever had is 6000 words and that was way too much. So I split into chapters helped long tail.

Off topic: 12,000 words is a possible usability issue. I can’t imagine scrolling that many words on a mobile device even with some dirty/clever JavaScript pagination with no AJAX/JSON. There is an imminent Google mobile update don't you know! Run the page through developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ and please report back.

Well the page was indexed by Google perfectly fine, including the text version. Still if I fetch it with Googlebot, it still won't give the full page in the preview window.

@Johan007 Of course Iknow there's a mobile update going on, why do you think we're fetching the page? The article is only 370 words long, it's the over 11,000 words worth of comments that fill up the page. Google was giving us the article and a couple of comments then skipping the rest of comments but as said the page is indexed fully. It was also given a mobile friendly tag in 10 hours sharp (mind blown). To give you an idea the homepage is a PR 5 and that page alone is a PR 5 too (mostly from external links as the article is buried deep into the site as it's a news site). Mobile traffic is about 70% of all traffic to that page and about 2,000 (a bit more) visitors a day to that particular page alone.

Yes it's a viral sort of article. Never been able to replicate it even though it was the first time we attempted virality. And yes I still use toolbar PR in my SEO strategy even though it was last update on Dec.2013 and everyone and their dog is saying "but PR is like da deaddd!11" or "MOZ is the new PR" (lol it isn't and MOZ is powered by a microwave).

One hell of a successful page for 350 words! Agree with MOZ comment but also the same goes for Ahrefs and majestic tools are no way powerful enough.
