The age old question: Can Google "see" discover, crawl, index my ecom category pages client side JS content? Hey Folks, part time lurker, first time poster 🤣 Background: I am looking to build out my testing, knowledge of JS client side render pages so I can say with 86% (old dev joke, sorry) actually more like 95-100% certainty (or at least better then "it depends") that Google is crawling, indexing the content, and following all of the links on the pages. The Why: Specifically we have ecommerce pages and we want to make sure Google is getting all the JS content and links from the pages as that content only shows Further Questions: Can I show you the URLs? Ummm nope, apologizes for the vagueness. Why don't you prerender the whole page or hybrid render? DEV wants proof that there is business impact and that Google is not getting the pages. Thus the Request: Do you have processes, links, favorite tools, for validating Google is getting all the content out of the JS client side rendered pages? >> So, links to current posts on validating client side JS. >> My current tool box/Processes for checking: Visual Check - I turn off JS - I use Chrome Extension to turn on/off JS 'Disable JavaScript' -- This is a quick visual to see what is there on the first pass Visual Check - I have used Onely's WWJD - https://lnkd.in/dcNTAAJM - This is cool and also shows what doesn't show. Visual/indexing Check - I select a piece of JS client side content from the page and on Google.com . Google will gives mixed results sometimes showing the content is indexed on one ecom page from one country and then not indexed on another ecom page. My rough hypothesis is Google will index all the content client side JS included the very popluar/high traffic pages. Visual Check - On GSC Live check Google does see the content, but then I go back tests with #3 and the content is not "indexed". Tools - We have Semrush so we can run the Audit, so any suggestions to make it return that one screenshot/report that says this content will not be seen by Google and just render it with hybrid, server side, or paid service. Tools - https://ziptie.dev/ I am thinking of running the 14 day free trial just to see what it could return a small section of pages. Side Question: Does everyone feel that Google/Search Engines is getting all your client side JS content? #sem #seotips #web #ppc #googleads #digitalmarketingtips #startup #marketingagency #webdesigner #webdeveloper #websitedevelopment #seoservices #bhfyp #b #smo #facebook #content #internetmarketing #seoexpert #onlinebusiness #searchenginemarketing #seoagency #marketingonline #digitalagency #digitalmarketer #logo #technology #html #dise #digitalmarketingservices
