No BS SEO for web developers
summary
Search engines fetch HTML, render pages in a headless Chromium instance (now headless Chrome and updated since 2019), and usually render JavaScript in seconds rather than weeks; use Search Console and the Mobile Friendly Test to inspect the rendered HTML. Ensure real <a href> URLs, set meaningful title/meta description and structured data, avoid hashbangs or dynamic rendering, and understand crawl budget only matters at very large scale (roughly >10 million URLs). Google crawls over HTTP/2 and treats canonical and robots hints as suggestions, not absolute rules.
