so basically everything you'd want search engines to index...but it's an SPA that renders no HTML without js?
i'm on mobile and upon navigating to the site i get a "loading..." screen for a couple seconds. afterwards i see a single page with barely any surfaced content.
not a great sign. certianly neither fast nor efficient.
this is the exact SPA where SSR should have been a baseline requirement but it's somehow still missing (or not enabled by default) after 1448 commits?
- trevyn 7y agoSearch engines run Javascript.
- leeoniya 7y agothe big ones do...kind of. https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/bing-javascript/ https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/bing-javascript/ either way, the actual user experience with real html is much better (it can be parsed & rendered in flight as it streams, etc.). there's no good excuse for a content platform to require js to read the content.
