do a view source and take a guess, off course it will affect the SEO but hey no problem it's JS, so to correct that SEO problem they will probably do a whole render of the page server-side with something like PhamtomJS and serve those "special" pages to bots which I think is totally insane

A better way of testing the impact of JS on your SEO is to use Google's "Fetch as Google" tool, and use the Fetch And Render mode: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/googlebot-fetch https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/googlebot-fetch Explanation of it: http://searchengineland.com/how-to-use-fetch-as-googlebot-like-seo-samurai-214292 http://searchengineland.com/how-to-use-fetch-as-googlebot-li...

  Yes, Google can index the site. But it will still suffer in SEO since Google penalizes sites that take a long time to load.
