Technical SEO Demystified

" summary

Explains how pages enter Google via crawl then a separate rendering queue that runs an evergreen Chromium (sites counted as ~130 trillion in 2016), so client JS must produce usable HTML or be pre-rendered. Recommends Angular-specific fixes: use the Title and Meta services for per-page titles/descriptions and robots noindex, inject a canonical link tag, avoid blocking resources needed for render, handle feature denials (no cookies/geolocation), or use dynamic rendering with Rendertron and Puppeteer. Points to Mobile Friendly Test and Search Console for debugging.
