Companies choose wasm to avoid crawlers.
- ram_rattle 2y agoI do not understand this, can you please explain
- nicce 2y agoProbably just a typical cat and mouse game. Some crawlers support React based websites already, for example, so they can render the content and crawl based on that. I believe crawlers do not execute yet the WASM code. But in time, they will.
- tightbookkeeper 2y agoAnd Google probably wanted to ban applets etc because they were negatively impacting search That doesn’t mean there weren’t good technical reasons, but that’s not necessarily the driver, For example, ssl is obviously good, but ssl required also raises the cost of making a new site above zero, greatly reducing search spam (a problem that costs billions otherwise).
