I am using wookmark.js in order to load Masonry styled grid in my website. As they recommend, I am using first a display:none CSS property to hide images until loading (detected by imagesLoaded) and then display it.

Will it have a bad impact on my website rank by google? can I be punished for using such technique?

    This question appears to be off-topic because it is about SEO. – j08691 Oct 28 '14 at 21:13
  • Can you explain what is the problem with the question? – Yuvals Oct 28 '14 at 21:16

    SEO questions are off-topic here. You might ask on [webmasters.se] but check their help centre before you post. –  Oct 28 '14 at 21:16

    Since seo-bot goes by parsing documents, (v/s use experience), the css properties are ignored. So, irrespective of whether you hide it or not, the image is parsed by the search engine – karthikr Oct 28 '14 at 21:18
  • I think that this is a very specific question, and not regarding "how to make my website #1 in google". Also, if this is off topic, then the SEO tag in this website should be removed. – Yuvals Oct 28 '14 at 22:07

No, as far as I can tell, there will be no negative effect of using display:none;, and there are no google articles suggesting that it will affect your rep.

    I might add that, this IS about programming as well as SEO, and there is a specific SEO tag on this website, so the question is **ON TOPIC** – its_notjack Oct 29 '14 at 08:33
