JavaScript SEO is a part of technical SEO that focuses on making websites built with JavaScript easier for search engines to crawl, render, and index. The goal of JavaScript SEO is to have these websites be found and rank higher in search engines.

MOZ has published ‘A Non-Technical Guide to Diagnosing JavaScript SEO Issues’.

Griffin Roer says, “In this article, I’ll walk you through a not-too-technical approach to auditing for JavaScript SEO issues. You’ll come away with a strong understanding of why JavaScript can be problematic for SEO and how to communicate solutions to developers they’ll implement.

Let’s dive in.

Why is JavaScript (sometimes) problematic for SEO?

If you’ve been avoiding the topic of JavaScript SEO, know that it’s not going anywhere. It’s the most widely used programming language and is ubiquitous in modern website development.

Unfortunately, JavaScript may introduce SEO issues depending on how it’s implemented. Why? Because search engines need to take extra steps to process or render content delivered by JavaScript. As we’ll learn in a moment, these additional steps are detrimental to SEO performance.”
