" summary

A client‑side rendered Angular PWA (angular.io) serves 1.4 million unique visitors monthly and gets about 78% from search, proving JS sites can rank. Uses Google Analytics, Search Console and Mobile‑Friendly Test to detect a crawl‑time drop when a JS bootstrap error returned empty pages, fixed by adding a small meta robots noindex snippet during bootstrap and removing it on success. Crawler runs a Chrome 41 renderer so conditional polyfills, feature detection, and handling soft 404s are essential.
