What is JavaScript SEO?

JavaScript SEO is a branch of technical SEO that makes JS-powered websites:

1. easy for search engines to fully crawl, render, and index,
2. accessible to users with outdated browsers,
3. keep their metadata and internal linking consistent,
4. load fast despite having to parse and execute JavaScript code.

JavaScript is extremely popular. Based on my research, as much as 80% of the popular eCommerce stores in the USA use JavaScript for generating main content or links to similar products.

However, many JavaScript websites – despite its popularity – underperform in Google because they don’t do JavaScript SEO properly.

In this article, I will guide you through why it’s happening and how to fix it. You’ll learn:

• how Google and other search engines deal with JavaScript
• how to check if your website has a problem with JavaScript
• what are the best practices of JavaScript SEO
• the most common problems with JavaScript that SEOs overlook

I will provide tons of additional tips and recommendations, too. We have a lot to cover, so get yourself a cup of coffee (or two) and let’s get started.
