When browsing a discourse site ([meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)) without JavaScript in the same way as it is presented to `Googlebot` several links are missing.

1. Links to user profiles

2. Link to categories list from homepage
3. Links to users activity from users page

4. Links to related topics at the bottom of a topic.
5. Any actual activity on users activity/topics page: [Profile - sam - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/users/sam/activity/topics) (yes this looks the same as the users page because it is, no different content.)

EDIT: The idea being if a user would find it hard to navigate to / see related interesting info - so would a search engine.
