Google does have a section within their guidelines on creating "HTML Snapshots". "If a lot of your content is created in JavaScript, you may want to consider using a technology such as a headless browser to create an HTML snapshot." https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/html-snapshot https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/...
- Wintamute 13y agoWell said. Really not sure why your parent is recommending against this, when Google are recommending in favour of it in their webmaster docs ...
- timr 13y agoDid you read that page, or did you just skim it? They're telling you to use a "headless browser" as one possible (clunky) way of responding to _escaped_fragment_ requests, which is a workaround wherein you put a special tag in your original page to tell the googlebot to make another request to get a static version of the page. Using _escaped_fragment_ is not the same thing as rendering different content based on user agent.
