Technical SEO for JavaScript developers
summary
Claim is that search crawlers do a two stage crawl first HTML then deferred JS rendering so JavaScript sites can be indexed but with delay and cost and Google still uses a Chrome 41 renderer for now. Concrete fixes include server side or hybrid rendering with frameworks like Next Nuxt or Angular Universal, or dynamic rendering using Rendertron and Puppeteer or services like prerender io. Practical tips include React Helmet or view-meta for titles and meta descriptions use the history API not hash routing and check pages with the mobile friendly test and Search Console and beware sneaky 404s and soft 404s and broken links like javascript only anchors.
