And what are your proposals for making improvements?

Great, Discourse gets a higher ranking than [Google.com](http://Google.com) – doesn’t sound too shabby?

I think this is a misunderstanding – Discourse _is a javascript application that runs in the browser_. It can’t display anything by definition until the javascript is downloaded and run.

There are other topics on this already, so closing this one.
