Need for Server Side Award for Content javascript - AngularJs

7

Knowing that starting this year google crawler runs javascript , considering the indexing of a content that is displayed using AngularJs, is there still a need for a version of the same content rendered on the server side for SEO?

Plus : Products like Prerender.io (Allow your Javascript apps to be crawled perfectly by search engines) are they still needed?

As it is in the very article that you quote, generally the answer is no, as long as you observe some details:

  • Scripts in separate files with blocked access (via robots.txt) will not run and consequently the site will not be indexed properly.
  • Servers that can not handle the required volume of requests can undermine the crawler's ability to render pages.
  • Very complex scripts, or that run too far from the average browser compatibility, may result in incorrect or inaccurate rendering, which is bad for both the visitor and Googlebot.
  • When scripts remove content from pages instead of adding content, it can not be indexed.
  • So, the best answer would still be the option for good development practices, with or without the help of frameworks like AngularJS, since this one, although maintained by Google, does not necessarily imply a rendering 100% infallible by Googlebot.
