Google's JavaScript Indexing Myths Debunked by Vercel and MERJ Research
4 months ago
MERJ and Vercel's research analyzed over 100,000 Googlebot fetches to debunk myths about Google's JavaScript rendering. Findings show Google can render and index JavaScript content effectively, treats JS-heavy pages similarly to static ones, and rendering queues have minimal SEO impact. Recommendations include optimizing performance, using server-side rendering for critical SEO elements, and maintaining updated sitemaps for efficient crawling and indexing.
