The impact of embedding discourse on search engine crawlers

The content of embedding discourse is loaded after the page is rendered, so its content will not be crawled by search engines.

Is there any way to make the content of embedding discourse crawlable by search engines?

Have you visited your site with javascript off and/or used a crawler user agent? It serves static content to crawlers.


This is my use case.

I am embedding Discourse as a part of my website, and I hope that Google crawlers can crawl this part of the content and associate it with my website.

The current problem is that the rendering of the embedded Discourse part is too slow, so Google can’t crawl it.

I’m pretty sure that if you embed discourse (or any site) the crawler will not include the embed as part of the site on which it’s embeded, but will instead include it only on the source of the information.
