JavaScript SEO

Quick Definition

JavaScript SEO covers the special considerations for sites built with React, Vue, Angular, or other JS frameworks where content is rendered client-side.

In context

Google can render JavaScript but does so on a delayed second pass. SSR (server-side rendering) or SSG (static site generation) are safer for content that needs to rank. Test pages with the URL Inspection tool to see what Google actually rendered.
