Maybe Google can by traversing the virtual DOM and other trickery but it's not as simple for other small players. Moreover, in a healthy web I should be able to easily deeplink to something I'm thinking about without jumping through hoops. The SPA web is not as easily discoverable and connected as it is very much meant to be. I think there are valid arguments to be made for SPA, like that SPA need to SPA because they are not just a series of pages and documents but complex applications which need to be that way (though I would still tread with caution: I remember java applets and javascript bits doing complex things, submerged within pages, and that was all fine).
- endisneigh 4y agoYou are conflating things. With urls you can link fine, spa or not. It’s possible to design a single page server side rendered page without properly implemented links. The things you are describing are not attributable to spa inherently, just a poorly designed site
- paulryanrogers 4y agoHas it gotten easier to do deep links correctly with SPAs? Back when I explored this it felt like working against the grain.
- pull_my_finger 4y agoWith a lot of SSGs, you can pre-generate all your "entry points" and then after the initial entry, it can be a SPA experience where a client-side router takes over navigation.
- robertoandred 4y agoYou can deeplink with SPAs just fine.
