      We have 250+ products dynamically inserted and sorted on our site daily (more specifically our homepage... yes, it's a long page). Our dev team would like to explore rendering the page server-side using ReactJS.

      We currently use a CDN to cache all the content, which of course we would like to continue using.

      SO... will Google be able to crawl that content?

      We've read some articles with different ideas (including prerendering):

      http://andrewhfarmer.com/react-seo/
      http://www.seoskeptic.com/json-ld-big-day-at-google/

      If we were to only load the schema important to the page  (like product title, image, price, description, etc.) from the server and then let the client render the remaining content (comments, suggested products, etc.), would that go against best practices? It seems like that might be seen as showing the googlebot 1 version and showing the site visitor a different (more complete) version.

        What exactly are you planning to render server-side? In principle, you shouldn't have anything to worry about if you render everything server-side, provided the rendering isn't so slow that it affects Google's measures of page speed.

        What do you see when you use the 'Fetch and Render' feature in Search Console at present?

          Google does crawl JavaScript, and they do index it. Googlebot is really a form of the Chrome web browser, so they will see the information that you give to them and most likely the other remaining content. Keep in mind that cloaking is against their guidelines, so may get the site penalized.

          I would go ahead and give Google and all visitors the full content.

            Moz crawler is not able to crawl my website

            moz crawler

            Hi, i need help regarding Moz Can't Crawl Your Site i also share screenshot that Moz was unable to crawl your site on Mar 26, 2022. Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster.
            my robts.txt also ok i checked it
            Here is my website https://whiskcreative.com.au
            just check it please as soon as possibe

            My Website's Home Page is Missing on Google SERP

            Hi All, I have a WordPress website which has about 10-12 pages in total. When I search for the brand name on Google Search, the home page URL isn't appearing on the result pages while the rest of the pages are appearing. There're no issues with the canonicalization or meta titles/descriptions as such. What could possibly the reason behind this aberration? Looking forward to your advice! Cheers

            How google crawls images and which url shows as source?

            Hi, I noticed that some websites host their images to a different url than the one their actually website is hosted but in the end google link to the one that the site is hosted. Here is an example: This is a page of a hotel in booking.com: http://www.booking.com/hotel/us/harrah-s-caesars-palace.en-gb.html When I try a search for this hotel in google images it shows up one of the images of the slideshow. When I click on the image on Google search, if I choose the Visit Page button it links to the url above but the actual image is located in a totally different url: http://r-ec.bstatic.com/images/hotel/840x460/135/13526198.jpg My question is can you host your images to one site but show it to another site and in the end google will lead to the second one?

            How to display the full structure of website on Google serps

            I have been searching around but unable to gather information as to how we can control or list  top pages of a website on Google's first page , i.e. if we type seomoz in google , we can see the main listing with 6 subdomain listings , which link to Blog , Seo tool , Beginner Seo guide , Learn Seo , Pricing & Plans and login My question is can we control these listings i.e. what to display and what not , and if yes how can we make this type of visibility on first page , by using html or xml sitemaps or theirs something mostly websites are missing. Cause this type of data is coming up for very less websites and mostly websites are with single urls. c43Ki.jpg

            Google truncating or altering meta title - affect rankings?

            I have a site that the title tag is too long and the title is simply the name of the site (I think they get it from ODP, not sure) Anyway, the rankings for the home page have dropped quite a bit.  I'm wondering if the change that Google makes affects rankings (i.e. name of site doesn't have all the keywords).
