TL:DR, it’s semi-humanly possible to replicate Googlebot crawling Discourse. Here’s how to start…

Become one with Googlebot

1. Open up an incognito window (always start fresh)
2. Open up DevTools
3. Open up Network Conditions in DevTools
4. Uncheck ‘Use browser default’
5. In the select menu choose Googlebot Smartphone
6. Then go to [https://meta.discourse.org](https://meta.discourse.org) (it looks way different; not a biggie because your Googlebot and bots don’t care)
7. Go to View \> Developer \> View Source
8. Copy it and paste it to some .html file

Good job! You have created the file Humans reference to see what Googlebot has **crawled** and **cached**.

Googlebot’s job is done. Now it’s time to render the cached file in a browser.

Become one with Chrome

1. Open up the terminal and run `npx http-server`
2. Navigate to the file
3. Open up Chrome DevTools
4. In the Elements panel, right-click `<html...` and select Copy outerHTML.
5. That is the content that will be indexed, not cached, indexed

In summary, Googlebot retrieves the HTML and Chrome renders it. The rendered HTML is gold. Ensure your valuable content and links are appearing there.
