Nice dive into seo and js - I always worry a bit when I use React that it won't be indexed very well, and it looks like Google will handle it ok now (though not as good as straight html) - but based on that Moz image, they're basically the only search engine that does handle it well... hm.

Thanks! I'll have to keep that in mind when working on sites that should be indexed :)

It can always be a worry regardless of framework, so that's understandable! The main thing to consider is whether your crucial content and internal links are being served via JavaScript.

If you're dynamically rendering, pre-rendering or server-side rendering then this should be fine for search engines, but it's always worthwhile to test what they can actually see. Glad you found the article useful :)
