I recently noticed that a lot of large sites have comments hidden by default, needing the user to click on a button for them to appear. Is there any reason for that other than mobile friendliness? Feels bad for SEO to me.
- Mandatum 11y agoThe comments are still captured by search engines for popular frameworks like Wordpress, however sites that don't use those technologies aren't subject to the same advantage. Google will only make allowances where the tech used it popular enough, or the dev community is loud enough to warrant changes to their crawler.
