So I just noticed that Discourse serves a non-JS version of the site to Google.. I’ve been using JS to set the sites title, meta description, canonical, etc and seems google is getting really good at rendering client-side javascript ( I’m referring to my regular site, not discourse ) Is there a wa…

[immagine] Stephen: Probably a good idea to explain why this is necessary My apologies When I say I’m using JavaScript for the title, canonical and meta-description I mean for my regular website, not the discourse setup. I was just trying to convey my experiences with googlebot and JS I tri…

[immagine] stance455: Im also starting to grasp how much of discourse is an app Right. It’s all an app. And there is little chance that Google could make sense of it, so there would need to be a second app, just for Google, which is why it sends the static version.

[immagine] stance455: I guarantee you, once this is fixed , all Discourse forums will see a huge jump in Google organic traffic It’s really easy to make claims like the above, particularly when by your own admission you don’t understand the inner workings nor design decisions which led to the…

[immagine] Stephen: you don’t understand the inner workings nor design decisions which led to the current state. I have a very broad idea, the app is Javascipt heavy and historically Google has had issues with JS. So you guys went with the simple non-JS we have now. My argument is to at least…
